Pirates of the Caribbean (2003, U.S.)

I was skimming through the enormous list of movies I've seen, and it was five years ago today that I first saw The Curse of the Black Pearl. Following the path started by Heath Ledger, there was another thing that led me on the journey to becoming a cinephile. Love it. (When it first came out, I saw it 8 times "in the theater"—5 in the regular theater, 1 at the dollar theater, and 2 at the Georgia Tech theater.)

This might have been when I started the print version of my movie journal. I fell in love with Johnny Depp, I fell in love with Orlando Bloom, and I fell in love with Klaus Badelt / Hans Zimmer (because apparently one takes a lot of cues from his mentor).

Anyway, of course it got the highest rating possible! Happy Anniversary, Pirates.

Rating: 5.0
