Any recommendations for a movie to show my Jewish youth group (grades 8-12), when we meet on Talk Like a Pirate Day? Bonus points if it's either a) Depp-free, and/or b) tangentially related to the themes of the high holidays. I love my job.

Recently I've been stricken with a definite yen to read novels involving swashbuckling and pirates, but then I realized I didn't know of any! (Except maybe for
The Princess Bride.) I would very much love to read a fun, adventurous swashbuckling novel much in the same tack as the
Monkey Island games and the
Pirates of the Caribbean movies, something that promises to be a thrilling, guilty pleasure. Any recommendations?
