Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

Going Rogue

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl has gotta be the only good film to come out of IP mining.

I cannot recommend Dan Golding’s video essay A Theory of Film Music enough, and also highly recommend his book Star Wars After Lucas (he also has a great talk on Nostalgia Piano, but I think that one might have just been a conference exclusive)
