Does The Goonies count?
First I thought of
Muppet Treasure Island
Princess Bride
Meh, great movie, and yes there’s pirates, but I wouldn’t consider it pirate-themed personally
I mean, the main character, Westley, is literally The Dread Pirate Roberts. And there’s swashbuckling, sailing, and a ragtag group of outlaws who come together despite all odds to fight the crown and take it’s treasure (Buttercup).
That’s a pirate movie.
I’m not taking away from your very valid points, but I feel like a pirate adventure has to spend a majority of its time
at seaon ships and The Princess Bride does not.It does, however, make an excellent Land Pirate movie.
Yeah, I suppose it’s not the most heavily themed pirate movie
I don’t know if it’s the greatest, but Ice Pirates is too often overlooked.
This fucking movie has stuck with me for decades. It is so stupid and hilarious.
Hook 👏👏👏
Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge is unironically a really fun watch. Evan Stone is hilarious in it.
They made an R-rated cut with the sex scenes edited out and it’s surprisingly watchable (in a low budget campy way)
This flag means death is killing it for a show
It’s an underrated movie, Gena Davis knocks it out of the park!
Disney’s 1950 Treasure Island - yes Depp’s Jack Sparrow is great, but the pirate performance par excellence is Robert Newton’s Long John Silver, imo
[off topic?]
TV show ‘Black Sails’ has it all. It starts with a great pirate raid and has everything you want. Buried treasure, hidden islands, scheming ladies, backstabbing, and more. Great writing and superb acting with incredible action sequences.
Butt Pirates of the Caribbean
Ice Pirates
Yellowbeard a close second!
More than a decade ago, this was the canonical pirate video for the English speaking Internet:

Enjoy 🙂
