With all the 'pirate movies' that have been made before and since, I find it remarkable that the interpretation by Robert Newton of the role of Long John Silver remains the definitive one for a pirate. It is this that is the basis of the 'Talk Like a Pirate' day. Certainly not Errol Flynn's rendition, and I haven't seen the latest batch of pirate movies, so I can't comment on them.
