When I was a little kid, sometimes I'd stay up to watch movies with my parents. My dad liked watching action and horror movies. My mom liked watching musicals and romantic comedies.

"The Pirate Movie" was one of my mom's favorites since she was a kid too and it also became one of mine too. For her, it's the best of both worlds because it's a musical and a romantic comedy. At the time, I really didn't appreciate my time laughing, singing and dancing along to the movie and the music of "The Pirate Movie" until I lost my mom to cancer when I was 14. Now, those are some of my favorite memories of her.

Recently, I happened along the bargain-bin at the local department store's music section when I found the soundtrack for only $1 and bought it. After listening to it, I watched the movie again and thought of Mom.

After looking at YouTube's selection of music from the movie, I've decided that I'd upload the entire soundtrack in a good quality for everyone's enjoyment.

This is dedicated to my Mother. I miss you Mom.

The music and story of "The Pirate Movie" (1982) is a re-envisioning of the classic Gilbert and Sullivan operetta "The Pirates of Penzance" (1879) which has been revived many times in theaters throughout the world ever since.

Although the plot line follows the basic operetta "Penzance", it's script and music were written to fit the modern audiences. And although some of the music follows the originals, they were rearranged to modernize them with a bit of pop flair but many new original songs were added but most of the traditional music was omitted.

With the movie poster tag line: "Buckle Your Swash and Jolly Your Roger for the Funniest Rock 'N Rollickin' Adventure Ever!" This movie is VERY 80's. With it's big hair, spandex costumes, and synthesizer music, there is no mistaking that the classic "Penzance" was Rubik's Cube shifted and updated to fit the tastes of the times.

When the movie was released, it was poorly received by critics however it did make enough money at the box office to make it's money back. Over the years, airings on cable TV and home video sales turned a profit. It's proven itself to be a classic movie which has achieved cult favorite status.

It's my honest opinion is that this movie isn't something to watch when you're looking to be intellectually stimulated. This is a feel good movie that's to be watched when you could use a little emotional boost by it's contagious music, silly humor throughout, and of course, the happy ending. But I sincerely feel that it's one of those movies that everyone should see at least once.

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy it.

Hey buddy, just wanted to give a shout out as well. Thank you for putting this out there. Similar story: I used to see this on HBO as a kid with my Mom too, and watching it always makes me think back to then, with my folks, growing up. Sorry for your loss, but hope the film brings you good memories.Incidentally, given all of the self-aware parodies out there nowadays (like even all the XXX vs. Zombies and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer types), I'll wager this movie might have done better today as an intentionally campy, fun movie. Alas, in 1981, I think there was much less appreciation. That said, I do think the musical version of HE is better than the rock version, but both serve their purposes ;)

Your opinion is legit. If you read my notes on the upload, I mention how the critics hated it but the fans loved it. Basically, they made a modernized and very 80's spin of "Penzance". The blending of the classic story with some modern pop made a good formula for a fun movie. People like you are why I posted this soundtrack. For the fans who just want to enjoy them.

The film received some bad reviews over the years, I suppose for reason of it predominantly spoofing Pirates of Penzance. Sort of baffling given that the plot was a lot more coherent than some the CG-focused films being released these days. Its held together a lot better than spoof films such as Top Secret, a film that really was a case of "spot that outdated pop culture reference". Just my opinion though.

Thanks for you comment Dianne, I agree. It's just one of those movies that you watch just to sit back and enjoy without having to over-think it and the music is so contagious that you find yourself spontaneously humming the tunes without really thinking about it. I know, it's happened to me too.

The movie had such a wonderful soundtrack, and I find myself occasionally humming songs from it.
