Cutthroat Island (1995). The movie bombed the box-office so bad that the entire swashbuckling genre died out for several years, until the first Pirates of the Caribbean film in 2003.

The soundtrack, however, is one of the best of the genre

  • I saw this rather long retrospective on Pirates of the Caribbean that mentioned Cutthroat Island as the last big pirate movie attempted. The funny thing is, the narrator was talking over footage from the movie, which looked fine. The montage of scenes he put together looked well shot, high production value...yeah the movie's terrible.
