subtitles available


In 1950's "Treasure Island," Robert Newton was the first movie pirate to "Talk Like a Pirate," as we traditionally think of them today.

In particular, it was he who added the now-classic "arr" (not "argh"!) to pirate argot.

In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, here is a scene from the 1954 Australian-made sequel to the film, also starring Robert Newton (who starred in the subsequent Aussie TV series of the same name as well as 1952's "Blackbeard the Pirate").

Viewin' any o' these cinematic treasures be the perfect way t' have ye talkin' like a proper pirate in no time!
