Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
#31 on my Top 100 List
Who would have thought that a movie based on a Disneyland ride would be so enjoyable or so successful? (Remember I'm only talking about the first one here.) Johnny Depp is great as the slightly inept but totally enthusiastic pirate Jack Sparrow and while Orlando Bloom is totally overshadowed, his performance isn't bad. Together they go up against the evil Captain Barbossa to break an ancient curse and get back the Governor's daughter. There are sea battles, sword fights, and pirate romance. What more could you want?
My Netflix rating: 5 stars
Wow - you are meeting your goal, and providing great movie reviews. Fun to read each day!
