7. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)
Rating - 7.4
The first, but not the last mention of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" in our corsair's top 10. Witty and enterprising Jack Sparrow against his will is drawn into the search for the Source of eternal youth, which is needed by the brutal captain Edward Teach (Blackbeard). Teach's daughter, Angelica, was once Jack's lover, but now she is only overwhelmed by her daughter's love. The motley company of the main characters also included a priest, a mermaid, whose tears are needed to search for the Source, and the magnificent Barbossa, who lost his leg due to Blackbeard, but not charisma.
6. Captain Phillips (2013)
Rating - 7.5
The plot of the picture revolves around Somali pirates who are trying to capture the container ship "Maersk Alabama." The crew of the vessel resist the invaders and do not surrender. Retreating, the pirates capture only the captain of the ship, Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks). And his life is now literally hanging by a thread. In the reviews, viewers praise the film not only for the Hanks game, as always perfect, but also for Somali pirates, whose roles were played by little-known black actors. They play very convincingly, immersing the viewer in the atmosphere of that hell in which these, certainly negative, but also unhappy characters live.
5. Master of the Seas: At the Edge of the Earth (2003)
Rating - 7.5
This film about Captain Jack Lucky Aubrey and his struggle with the French aboard the Acheron ship does not have the reckless adventure spirit inherent in other best pirate films such as Pirates of the Caribbean. However, the “Master of the Seas” attracts others: dynamic battles, a description of hardships and hardships associated with sea voyages in the 19th century, strong male friendships and realistic special effects.

Rating - 8

3. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Rating - 8.1

2. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Rating - 8.3
The first film about the adventures of Jack ... that is, captain Jack Sparrow was received by the audience with a bang. And there are several explanations for this: an unusual protagonist, instantly acting, ironic, narcissistic and at the same time noble in his own way, a whole galaxy of good actors such as Orlando Blum, Keira Knightley and Jeffrey Rush, memorable secondary characters (we mention separately the wonderful monkey skeleton) and an exciting action that does not get bored for a minute. And what kind of musical accompaniment is in this film, it cannot be explained in words, it needs to be listened to and admired. But the idea of creating this picture arose thanks to the positive impression of a pirate attraction at Disneyland.
