Back in the day they had come amazing, original movies come out. Some of the live-action ones were sadly forgotten by everyone. Others received the "Remake" treatment; losing their originality and wonder.
I will gladly admit that when the release of the release of "The Curse of the Black Pearl" came out I was on the pirate bandwagon all the way. I went to the library and checked out every book on pirates I could get my hands on. By the end of the school year (not telling which), I was an expert on the subject of pirates and all the rowdiness they stood for.
Suffice it to say: Disney's pirates were 300000000% nicer and tamer than the pirates of Golden Age. Honestly! Back in the day pirates were feared for more than just taking your gold and silver. And the worst of the worst was Edward Teach, otherwise known as Blackbeard.
Which segues into my Obscure Movie -
Growing up this was one of my favorite movies. It had snarky humor, cool costumes, an AMAZING bed and breakfast that I want to buy and live in for the rest of my life, and pirates.
Oh. And a Pirate's Curse.
What more could you ask for in a movie?
Follow the misadventures of a track coach who comes into town and accidentally unleashes the ghost of Blackbeard.
With clean humor, fun puns, and the stereotypical film of it's time, this movie is excellent for anyone with kids.
Oh. And did I mention - a great Halloween flick?
Check it out on YouTube, or Netflix.
