I'm still loyal to old Run-Run Shaw kung-fu films.

Billy Jack was something my mother loved when it came out and then was deeply embarrassed when she had her children watch it.

Better Off Dead is another one that would make my list.

But that's a fairly highly-rated movie.  There's reasons to like it besides loyalty.

It was a box office flop, certainly not among the best of movies (or even pirate movies), but I loved it as a kid, and it still makes me smile today. :D

That's quite a cast.

My favorite pirate movie when I was a kid was "Black Swan", closely followed by "Crimson Pirate". The latter seemed to be on TV every other weekend.

Crimson Pirate was great. I also loved The Buccaneer with Yul Brynner as Lafitte, and prominently featuring the Battle of New Orleans 1815. :wub:

And of course there was also Il Corsaro Nero, or Blackie the Pirate with Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill. :D
