Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl

A swashbuckling action-packed fantasy adventure for the whole family to watch and enjoy. This film which was released by Disney Pictures in 2003 earned for Johnny Depp (Captain Jack Sparrow) an Oscar nomination for best performance by an actor. Set in the 17th century featuring pirates of the high seas cursed by a plague that makes them immortal and yet incapable of feeling anything or enjoying life's pleasure, this movie is sure to thrill people of ages from 1 to 101.

Supported by awesome performances of Orlando Bloom who played the true-blue pirate heir Will Hunter (The Lord of the Rings, Kingdom of Heaven) and Keira Knightly as the British femme fatale Elizabeth, Pirates soars with non-stop action and surprises. Geoffrey Rush (Shine) as the head of the brigand pirates (redundant?) who sailed the cursed ship the Black Pearl and Jonathan Pryce (Evita, Tomorrow Never Dies) complimented the act.

Amazing swordfights, stunts and eye-popping special effects make this movie an unforgettable experience to relive again and again.
