Fury at Smugglers' Bay
Why this pick
Its stormy coastal setting, secretive villains, swordplay, and economical British adventure style make it a particularly close companion to Don Sharp’s pirate thriller.

A High Wind in Jamaica
Why this pick
Another 1960s Caribbean pirate film, but with a more uneasy, psychologically shaded mood beneath its handsome maritime adventure surface.
04
The Long Ships
Why this pick
For the same era’s lavishly colourful sea-bound action: rival crews, perilous voyages, rugged locations, and a satisfyingly old-fashioned adventure pace.

Captain Clegg
Why this pick
