Best Pirate Story (or movie)?

[Milt]

Avast ye, I say! Whar be th cap'n o this fair ship, and why be he let'n her alone ta drift? Be he Ahab locked 'way in his cabin dream'n o revenge? Me thinks me hears his peg leg on decks n th wee o th night. Some able seaman need take hold o the tiller, afore we finds ourselfs aground on some rocky shore. Me poses this question, then one more... What be th best pirate story 'er told? Sound off now ye powder monkies...Be Bold! What say ye?... Arrgh!
