Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
You've seen a ship with black sails that's crewed by the damned, and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out?
Best Actor Oscar Nominee Johnny Depp is the enigmatic, slightly camp, very trippy, and not-at-all-based-on-a-Rolling-Stone Captain Jack Sparrow, without doubt, the worst pirate you’ve ever heard of. But you have heard of him.
Orlando Bloom is the pretty and less-vacant-than-usual blacksmith who sets out to rescue the Governor’s hot daughter Keira Knightley after her capture by Geoffrey Rush’s crew of cursed miscreants.
An epic, suspense filled romp about pirates, Spanish gold, ghosts, eunuchs, stealing boats, blowing boats up, funny hats, sword fights, highly quotable dialogue, and a monkey

The Princess Bride
Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.
So goes the highly quotable story of the farmhand separated from his true love, her impending mawage to the nefarious Prince Humperdinck, and her kidnapping and rescue. Join the pursuit through eel infested waters, up the cliffs of insanity, the fire swamps, the Pit of Despair, and then the final assault on Humperdinck’s castle, and the rescue of the Princess Bride

The Midnight Movie (subject to attendance)
Master and commander: The Far side of the World
During the Napoleonic Wars, a British frigate, HMS Surprise, and a much larger French warship, the Acheron, with greater fire power, stalk each other off of the coast of South America.
Starring: Russel Crowe with long hair, Billy Boyd with a terrible accent, and Paul Bettany (last seen in Wimbledon). It’s the most historically accurate sailing movie ever, if you like your swashbucklers with a bit of intellectual credit.
I hold an element of surprise
