Wasn't Rhonda's movie THE GOLDEN HAWK? Hey, Doug was mentioned under "U", but not Jill--yet another redhead!Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-4952044300286326722013-06-29T23:51:25.974-04:002013-06-29T23:51:25.974-04:00Who doesn't like a pirate movie?

When one embarks onto a particular ship for the purpose of piratical pursuits, he (very few "her's"...women were considered "bad luck" on ships---but always a sign of potential "good luck" on shore!) signed an Article of Code. Here the ship's "citenzenary (sic) & employee duties & compensation were apelled out. <br />Anyone could take over the ship as Captain...if they had enough "help". The former Captain would either receive a lifeBoat & few provisions Cruise or an early retirement to Davey Jones Locker.<br />The Articles of Code also designated the duties of the crew members and what their piractical booty of each endevour would be.<br />....<br />Maureen O'Hara did a lot of pirate movies...but Rhonda Fleming (The Black Haek) can compete as a valid opponent. <br />Plus--what about "The Kings Pirate (19690 for the "K" category? Come on---it has Doug McClure, Guy Stockwell, AND JIL ST JOHN!<br />raccoon713https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753879467574349680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-3516364481611308142013-06-26T11:13:50.790-04:002013-06-26T11:13:50.790-04:00Ha!

"Against All Flags" is one of our favorite pirate flicks and one film that should have a little more recognition than it does. It's really a gem. Great list!

Awhile back, I turned off "The Black Swan."....was bored to tears. However, my blog readers convinced me to have another go at it. Though I still haven't done so, I'm determined that I will. (Which means, I couldn't vote in your poll, because I haven't seen a single one of the films.)<br /><br />I adore "Moonfleet." Just caught that last month for the first time.Patti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-56832841070304905722013-06-25T09:28:40.685-04:002013-06-25T09:28:40.685-04:00Aye, but this is a list worthy of a pirate's p...Aye, but this is a list worthy of a pirate's plunder! Captain Hook is my favorite buccaneer but I also enjoy Errol whether at sea or on land. And your selection for "x" was spot on, Rick! I also agree that feisty Maureen O'Hara is a most excellent female pirate.<br /><br />Well done, Matey!toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-52508563184595164182013-06-24T11:41:25.500-04:002013-06-24T11:41:25.500-04:00You had me at "Don't look for any Pirates...You had me at "Don't look for any Pirates of the Caribbean movies on the list." Well done. Enjoyed the list tremendously. And yes, Maureen O'Hara is my favorite lady pirate in the movies. Sorry Jean Peters.
