Subject: Pirate Flicks Author: Seth Coffin [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:33:41 05/06/03 Tue My dad (Capt. A. Gardner Coffin) and I are big into pirates and even bigger into Pirate movies with Robert Newton. We poor over every word while pooring a noggin of rum before we hobble to the ole "Cask and Anchor". I was wondering....besides "Blackbeard the Pirate", "Treasure Island", and "Long John Silver", did Newton make any other serious pirate movies with the same sorts of pirate lingo??? Thanks....Seth [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Those are the only three pirate films he made, but he also appeared in the Long John Silver TV series. The show was a lot of fun--better than the movie, IMHO. There were 24 episodes in all, but only 14 have been released on video. Movies Unlimited has 10 episodes: <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/frameset/index.asp?frame=product%2Easp&sku=107448">http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/frameset/index.asp?frame=product%2Easp&sku=107448</a> [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

My hubby surprised me this Christmas with 14 episodes of the series, which I have watched over and over, hehe. :) ~Trisha~ [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

BTW, just to clarify, I'd say the series is better than the *LJS* movie--but not better than Treasure Island, of course. I even liked it better than Blackbeard. Would you agree? Seth, matey, let us know what you and your father think of it. (Cap'n, eh? Ar, might he be a ship cap'n?) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
