Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Oh, the life of a slightly gay pirate...

Captain Jack and the crew are back in this followup to the unexpected smash Pirates hit from 2003. The plot is rather complex, in part because it's the middle section of a trilogy, and there is a lot happening. Captain Jack has to find a treasure chest to pay off a debt, and persuades his two friends from Episode One to help him. But there are many obstacles to overcome, including cannibals, a voodoo princess, the ghost ship, and a giant octopus. The result is another huge crowd-pleaser, even if you're not sure what's happening or why.
