... is a good match for black sails. I've always been partial to the 1990 version http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100813/?ref_=nv_sr_3 with Christian Bale and Chuck Heston as Long John Silver.

Im always partial to the Newton classic, above all others.
shareI think the Charlton Heston version is the closest to the book.
The Disney one is....Disney.
And the newer one with Eddie Izzard makes a few modern interpretations that don't really suit the story.
But there are some cool bits in it.
Billy Bones is one....
I didn't mind the changes to the main story at all, even how they altered trelawney and livesy's characters. I actually liked how they expanded the journey, and showed what happens to mr. Arrow, as well as fleshing out the pirates a bit more. While the novel is great, many of the characters feel very flat and stereotypical. I loved all the performances, but captain smollett and israel hands really stand out to me. And, yes, billy bones.

Elijah Woods' Ben Gunn was pretty fantastic too.
