Arrr, this be an excellent collection, matey. Who doesn’t want to watch pirates swashbuckling their way across a silver screen? No one knows why the screen be silver, but it is, and that’s why we pirates are willing to put up with it. Aye, we aren’t really trying to make entertaining movies, we be trying to steal the silver right off the screen!
~A well-renowned pirate
Well, they may not have made the movies for your enjoyment, but now that they’ve been made, you might as well watch them. It might take you some time, 845 minutes to be exact, but it’s well worth it. Anyone who watches 845 minutes of various pirate movies from a highly suspect box set is clearly a motivated and ridiculously attractive individual. So even if you don’t want to watch the movies for their inherent value, you should watch them because doing so will make you feel good about yourself.
This set contains many wonderful pirate epics, all of which should be watched by everyone everywhere. The Black Pirate, for example, is quite notable because it’s in Technicolor. And Captain Kidd is from 1945, an excellent year. And don’t forget the TV version of Treasure Island. The reasons are almost endless!
Notes: This box set includes both silent and sound films. Also, this will ship out USPS instead of Fedex Ground so you will not receive tracking information.

What's this pirate movie rated?
[2] I believe that most of the content is pre-rating system...
I just looked on Amazon, and it's "Not Rated"
With Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton as a couple of the stars, this might be a rather entertaining collection.
