Don't let the scores of lackluster sequels tarnish the memory of it: "The Curse of the Black Pearl" remains one of the very best adventure films I've seen, bar none. It has wit, clever plotting, memorable characters, and a main theme so ridiculously catchy and stirring it could make just about anyone briefly consider taking up piracy. Warmly recommended. (

Full of adventure and fun. (
