The Curse of the Black Pearl, and it’s not particularly close.
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.
Agreed. I don’t really like the second, but the third is a very good ending for a trilogy that had no right to be as good as it is. I especially love how all the characters have these different changing motivations and how that shapes the plot.
The first is just perfect, though, not even close
I’m with you, too. It was super good in theaters (get off my lawn).
