It's a movie that I saw, enjoyed, and mostly wrote off when it came out. But here we are 20+ years later and I'm still rewatching it every few years. It is still just over-the-top over-acted ridiculous silly fun.

Very well-paced and quotable. Main characters (Knightley and Bloom) were unremarkable, but the side characters (Depp and especially Rush) put in excellent performances into very silly roles.

It's not The Godfather, but it's not trying to be. It is pretty perfect at everything it did try to be.

I feel like the second and third movies are underrated. Perhaps not as tightly scripted as the first, but if you watch them back to back it's a fun ride.

And Keith Richards plays Jack Sparrow's dad in the third film.

I'm with you, too. It was super good in theaters (get off my lawn).

First I thought of

Meh, great movie, and yes there's pirates, but I wouldn't consider it pirate-themed personally

This fucking movie has stuck with me for decades. It is so stupid and hilarious.

Don't try to stop me smee, try to stop me smee

Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge is unironically a really fun watch. Evan Stone is hilarious in it.

Yellowbeard a close second!

Pirates! Is so good.
