Miranda (1948)

The Pirate Movie (1982)
Jan 22, 2013Gonzo Pirate Musical
Widely rididculed attempt to market Gilbert & Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance as a teen pop film by way of The Blue Lagoon. A mind-spinning film that seems to have no limit on how silly it is prepared to be, including numerous anachronistic contemporary pop culture in-jokes and fourth-wall breaking gags
The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking (1988)
Sep 5, 2004Anarchic Girl
Ill-conceived US version of the popular children's book character created by Astrid Lindgren. The result feels less a film as it does a kindergarten playground gone entirely out of control
