Talk Like a Pirate Day is Tomorrow!

 

Peter Mountain/Disney

It's the one holiday that everyone can agree on: International Talk Like a Pirate Day on Sept. 19.

Here's the official tutorial, but surely, you're old enough to know your "arrrs" from your "ahoys." Your kids, on the other hand, may not. Here are a few pirate classics that will show them the basics:

Captain Blood (1935) - Errol Flynn, the original swashbuckling ladies man, battles pirate Basil Rathbone. Great for Robin Hood fans.

Pirates of the Caribbean (2003) - Cranky Jack Sparrow is the most entertaining pirate ever, and Johnny Depp has the Oscar to prove it.

Treasure Island (1934) - You couldn't ask for a better pirate-talking tutor than Long John Silver, as played by Wallace Berry in this classic adventure.

Hook (1991) - Any version of Peter Pan will do, but this one boasts an extra-piratey performance by Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook.
