The Pirate Movie (1982)

Childhood favourite

This movie was released on DVD late last year in Australia and I immediately replaced my VHS version with the DVD. It's a no frills release and although the sound quality is a definite improvement some dialogue is still a little hard to hear. This movie is a family favourite, which I once watched six times in one day (once entirely in reverse), and my parents hired it regularly during the eighties. It is dated but still fabulous fun although younger audiences may miss some of the pop culture references ie Beach Party movies etc. Well worth purchasing for all fans of 80's cinema, Christopher Atkins and Australian scenery as it was filmed there with a mostly Aussie supporting cast. A must have DVD for me and one to be watched over and over as it can take a few viewings to get all of the jokes and background action.
