I see we share several favorites - especially The Crimson Pirate and the Flynn films. But they're all great choices, fun list!

I'm glad you approve of my taste!

The Crimson Pirate was utterly hilarious, and it's hard not to appreciate copious amounts of shirtless Burt Lancaster. ;)

I know Errol Flynn was kind of a bastard in real life, but I still have a huge crush on him. And his smile could light a city block.
