Tis a difficult decision, Black Swan & Treasure Island be me top two all time favorites, though I’m not sure in what order. Then what order goes Captain Blood, The Crimson Pirate, Pirates of the Caribbean and Cutthroat Island, all depends on what mood I be in. For Classic, I want Blood and for Silly, I go for Crimson, while Cutthroat is just plain Fun. And well with Pirates of the Caribbean, I get all the above, being that it steals from most all the ones mentioned.
