Avast there! Behold a treasure trove of pirate booty! Long before Pirates Of The Caribbean hoisted sail, the silver screen was a-swarm with buccaneers and freebooters of every size and shape, sailing out of Hollywood to wreak havoc on moviegoers everywhere. Here is a parcel of rousing high-seas adventures that will shiver ye timbers!

Feast your squinties on the one and only Douglas Fairbanks battling bloodthirsty cutthroats a-plenty in The Black Pirate, a truly rare prize of a colour silent film. Espy movie legend Charles Laughton playing the pirate legend Captain Kidd, and isn't that the scurvy scoundrel Boris Karloff in a rare teleplay of the finest pirate story ever written, Treasure Island? Hearken ye! Robert Newton in the role he was born to play, that of the infamous Long John Silver in Return To Treasure Island, plus a brace of episodes from The Adventures of Long John Silver TV Series. Get a bellyful of the musical The Dancing Pirate, featuring an early film appearance of that saucy wench Rita Hayworth as a dancer. For the wee tykes there are the Little Rascals in the 'Our Gang' comedy, The Buccaneers. More belly laughs with Harold lloyd, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin! A veritable feast of action and mayhem from Hollywood's golden age of swashbuckling adventure!
