I think Ronon would make a fine pirate, don't you?

Just for grins, my Favorite Pirate/Swashbuckling Movies of All Time (in no particular order):

Swashbuckler. Yes, cheesy, yes, silly, but come on, people. Rober Shaw! Genevieve Bujold! Peter Boyle! Geoffrey Holder! James Earl Jones! (Plus, Robert Shaw was in a TV series called The Buccaneers, which was released on DVD recently. Good stuff.)

The Adventures of Robin Hood. Remember,  I said Swashbuckling too. Errol Flynn, people! Technicolor! Swordfighting!

Captain Blood. Best Errol Flynn Pirate Movie Ever.

The Court Jester. Danny Kaye and Basil Rathbone, in one of the best send-ups of swashing and buckling ever done.

Pirate Movie. A pirate musical, with a lot stolen from Gilbert & Sullivan. Massive cheese factor, but the cast is amazing.

Muppet Treasure Island. Best pirate movie that year. Tim Curry and Billy Connelly in the same movie!

The Three Musketeers/The Four Musketeers. Hands down, my favorite Swashbuckling movies. The fight choreography is amazing, and the acting is excellent!

The Princess Bride. Best pirate movie with only one pirate (reluctant) in it. Plus, one of the best damn swordfighting scenes ever.

Any to add?
