By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 19th 2009 12:00AM

Ahoy, me harties! It be that time of year again: International Talk Like a Pirate Day! So, slap on a do-rag, guzzle some rum (if you be of age, natch) and watch clips of the finest scallywags ever to grace the silver screen. True, there are so many more great pirates out there, but who has the time when there's so much plunderin' to do? We kick things off with an all-time favorite jam ...

Captain Red
'Pirates'

He's drunk, stranded on a makeshift raft and is itching to hear a "little French ditty." He's Captain Red, and it's a good thing Frog is there.

Captain Jack Sparrow
'Pirates of the Caribbean'

It's the role Johnny Depp was born to play.

Captain Blood
'Captain Blood'

Before there was Depp, there was Errol Flynn, the originator of the classic movie pirate.

Long John Silver
'Treasure Island'

Played by Robert Newton in the classic flicks.

Polly Lobster
'Muppet Treasure Island'

Taking the place traditionally set aside for a parrot, Polly stepped in as Lohn John's trusty companion.

Captain John Hook
'Hook'

Played with panache by the incomparable Dustin Hoffman.

Captain Teague Sparrow
'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End'

It should have been a gimmick, but instead it became the best part of the confusing film to have Keith Richards play Depp's dad.

Steve the Pirate
'Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story'

What if the hit Ben Stiller movie was actually about poor Steve, that guy (played by Alan Tudyk) who dresses like a pirate?
