Give Me A Happy Ending: The Pirate Movie

When I was about 11 years old, The Pirate Movie played constantly all summer on HBO. I became obsessed with it. Not having a VCR, I recorded it on my audio tape recorder and listened to the music over and over again in my room at night. (How weird was I?) Imagine my delight when I saw that it was coming on television this afternoon--on my day off. I'm DVR-ing it now and marveling at the strange sensory-memories coming over me as I watch. A more ridiculous movie has never been made and it makes me believe in happy endings again.
