Best Pirate Movies: ‘The Goonies’, ‘Treasure Island’ and More

Because they personify the courage and adventure of the Golden Age of Piracy, which lasted from the 1650s to the 1730s, pirates have long captivated audiences. Due to the abundance of Atlantic trade routes during this time, opportunistic plunderers were drawn to the high seas.

It should come as no surprise that the daring adventures of pirates have been a popular topic in film, with numerous films with differing degrees of success. While some movies stick to the clichés, others give original takes on the pirate story. Even though there are many good films in this genre, only a handful have become legendary since their debut, making a lasting impression on viewers and guaranteeing their place in future generations’ cinematic canon.
