Long John Silver (1954) ROBERT NEWTON 

Nice Intro! My Grandfather took me to see Treaure Island, Gulliver's Travels And a couple of other classics at the local children's matinee theater downtown. There was also a juggling act, some dogs act, zany antics and a fabulous magic show. Those were magical times. This pirate really scared the daylights out of me.

"Shiver me timbers a landlubber I'll never be"- Long John Silver

Absolutely legendary. Just incredible how this movie is far better than 99% of the films Hollywood has released in the last 20 years...maybe more.

I was born in 1951. I was 7 or 8 when i saw this movie. I was captivated by this rough and tender Long John Silver. I think i haven't seen it since. Thanks for this happy memory!

🍕Thank you 🍕I enjoy watching Robert Newton movies 🍕A great talented actor ❤👍So many great movies before Treasure Island 👍❤I still like watching them all , many times over and over 🍕🍿🥤🍫🍕🍕Oct . 17 , 2023 🍕🍕🍕🍕

ROBERT NEWTON ! A TRULY AWESOME ACTOR ! THANK YOU ! FOR SHOWING THIS GREAT MOVIE !

Robert Newton was the quintessential and unforgettable Long John Silver in Treasure Island, This man was born for this role.

No matter who they put in the roll of LJS in any other films, it will ALWAYS be Robert Newton's roll to play as he is or was the consummate Long John Silver.

No book gripped me more than "Treasure Island" in all my life.

ROBERT NEWTON was in JAMAICA INN, 1932, ALFRED HITCHCOCK. It was MAUREEN O'HARAS' first movie and included CHARLES LAUGHTON. This is not the only pirate movie of LONG JOHN SILVER, that starred ROBERT NEWTON as the lead, LONG JOHN SILVER. It seems as though ROBERT NEWTON was born to play this part. ROBERT NEWTON does not get enough credit for his superb portrayals of THE BAD GUY!!!! Even in OLIVER TWIST, as BILL and starring ALEC GUINNESS as Fagan, his portrayal of bad guy, BILL was supreme. ROBERT NEWTON, One of the finest actors of the 20th century. RIP ROBERT NEWTON 🙏

Best Long John movie of them all.👍Fantastic movie. 👍GREATEST film pirate of them all!!

What is amazing, and also a little bit sad, is how well it shines today. A sad reflection on modern cinema.

"Shive my timbers a land lubber I'll never be" Robert Newton the all time greatest pirate in the history of film making........

No one as ever played Long John Silver better than Robert Newton

Robert newton was an educated, cultured English gentleman, making his performance a master class.

It’s raining, windy and decidedly colder today …. So, feet up, cup of tea and a couple of chocolate digestives .. that’s me sorted for the day watching this classic movie from my childhood! Thank you PizzaFlix from France!

Thanks, Robert. A fine film, never a dull moment.

I watched Long John Silver as a boy, at a birthday party for my friend's 10th birthday party in his basement when I was a little younger than John Hawkins in 1960 or so? It was one of the best gifts his dad could have given us, along with his son Jacob's choice of plain spaghetti with butter for all, and what a day it was. Thank You so much for sharing this gem with us.

Loved those old 1950s colour Pirate ☠ movies on a Saturday afternoon 😀

Loved these as a kid! Sixpence at the Majestic cinema on a Saturday morning and a complete matinee of films shown! Long John Silver the 'loveable rogue'! Don't make 'em like that anymore!

Not seen this for years and I still think it's a great movie, Mr Newton of course makes the whole thing work in every way, he was an ooh aaarrr super star Jim lad!

The GREATEST film pirate of them all!! If you could ever imagine what a real pirate was like, Robert nailed it! His voice and expressions are legendary!

Robert Newton was a great actor, and could play any type. Including the "pirate accent" which he basically invented. He based it on the people he met growing up in Mounts Bay, near Penzance, on the Lizard, the very south-western end of Cornwall. Robert Newton also briefly attended Exeter School, Devon, a prestigious, private ("public") school, so he was no pirate 🤗 I write from where I live - Exeter, Devon, England 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Robert newton the best pirate ever he was a great actor

I smiled and was intertained all the way through..... Such fun

Long John Silver a Treasure! Piracy also has its BEST. An old but goodie movie of a Time.

watched this as a child in the late 1950's, thought it was great then, and still do, thank's for the upload,

REAL wonderful , " PRE PC PROGRESSIVE " Movies , so wonderful , delightful and refreshing !! I loved it ~

Before I knew any of the hype around Robert Newton I stumbled on BlackBeard the pirate. The opening scene with Newton had me saying this guy has to be the best pirate ever…. I was right. Outstanding!

No other actor can match Newton's Long John Silver🏴‍☠

Settling down! Anchored at my time of life . A great one liner

The saying "They don't make em like the used to".. is well over used.. but is well true in films like these.. Bravo.. Silver, Bravo Hawkrins..

Fantastic movie. I loved it as a kid. Very entertaining.👍👍

God Bless Robert Newton, he filled my childhood memories with imagination and wonder; Took me to far-off lands and seas, on adventures and friendships.

Historically, all the most successful pirates of the golden age came from the west country, so his accent helps cement that fact.

Superior Robert Louis Stevenson book, fantastic adaptation to the screen. One of Robert Newton«s finest hours, to me the best Long John Silver yet

"Good evening to we all" , that's one of them lines. best pirate movie i ever saw.

Long John Silver: “Sometimes, them’s that’s quote the Bible have less Bible in their heart that’s them that don’t.” Love that line🤗🤣🤣🤣😂🎉🎊Loved this film🥳Thank you for uploading a gem💖💝🥰😘

Ar-r-men. That one kills me, lol Best Long John movie of them all.

I would say that Wallace Beery did a pretty job of it as well, the earlier Treasure Island Movie with Jackie Cooper. However, it was Robert Newton and his interpretation and especially his dialect that made the role his own. Also, honestly, doesn't every aspiring pirate actor try to imitate that dialect. Just as they do with Bela Lugosi's when doing Vampire stories.

Treasure Island was my favourite TV series when I was a little girl in the 50's (giving my age away now). Robert Newton was an amazing actor.

We've been stuck with the pan and scan version since they made little 1.3 to 1 tv screens 70years ago. Nice to finally have a 2.35 to 1 original theatre version.

I remember seeing this on the Disneyland tv program. Long John reminded me very much of my uncle Jack, who had been a professional prize fighter and a really scary guy.

Please forgive my indulgence..but this film has such a foreboding atmosphere in parts..it borderlines on terror! A True Pirate Classic shoulders above many of its American counterparts⛵

Best movie rendition in my opinion. Saw it years ago. Thank you for posting the gift of pleasure 😊

I've loved this movie from the first time I watched it. Thanks for showing it again.

The Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper movie was the first Treasure Island. It was great movie, but the Disney Version Followed up with the same action and the cast of characters far surpassed it. Walt: You Did Good! Thank You! Robert Newton has had an excellent career in the Pirate Tradition and makes a good rascally character!

Robert Newton did the best portrayal of Long John Silver ever. RIP Robert Newton.

Used to watch this when I was a young boy my best film

Thoroughly enjoyable. No one can better Robert Newton as LJS.

Mr3, Newton was beyond excellent in this film...

Iconic role indeed! Without this and Treasure Island, Captain Jack would be quite a different character altogether.

Classic . they don't make em like this anymore , aye !

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, the dialogue and the superb rendition of Long John Silver. I imagine this is how life was in the buccaneer Caribbean.

The audio is FANTASTIC! You can almost hear what they're saying!

Robert Newton is to Pirates what John Wayne and Clint Eastwood are to Cowboys.

loved this movie as a kid

My favorite pirate movie is the 1958 movie,"The Buccaneer" starring Yul Brynner and directed by Anthony Quinn. Charlton Heston as Andrew Jackson was just as good as his role as Moses in another Cecille B.Demille.movie,"The 10 Commandments" from 1956 which also starred Yul Brynner as well.

wonderful summary of a great actor and genius inventor of what a Pirate should be, he was also great in Around the world in eighty days, thanks for sharing this!

"Nothing but a patch of blood.....' what a great oldie I remember watching with a popcorn-greased facade in the midst of me peers during the times when a simple Saturday matinee were the finest of times, arrr!

A True Masterwork of Cinema..this and "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" are perfect Double Features🏴‍☠️⛵

Danke für das hochladen und deine Mühe

Always thought Kieth Moon would of been a great Pirate. What a great film.

Not seen this for a very long time, excellent upload too. Thank you!

I didn't know about Robert Newton doing this after Treasure Island. Thanks!

Johnny Depp couldn't have done it better - WITH all the modern tricks. ARRRRHHHHH!🏴‍☠

The ending is epic af with the music, for its time

1954 does date back now, my elderly parents were both just 8 years old back then, godbless em.

Fantastic Classic Movie 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Robert Newton, I matie, shiver me timbers, classic 😊👍. Best pirate ever to sail the seven seas. I

At least one movie of this kind which doesn't end with the ubiquitous great battle and after the victory the happy ending with him and her together.

Sir: this is an amazing print! I own (2) copies and they are nowhere near this clear!

Loving the intros with trivia and history. 👍

this is a real treat!! thanks so much 🍕🎥🤓

Robert Newtons accurate imitation of my accent was gained amongst the drinkers in the Llandogger Trow pub opposite the Bristol Old Vic theatre whilst he was playing there.

Beautiful movie for my leisure

I saw this ages ago. Thanks!

Thank you for this movie

I love watching Newton play this character. Armen.

You seem to forget that Robert Newton based his performance on Wallace Beery's interpretation of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island character, Long John Silver. Which is a shame really. Beery set a base for the character, and Robert Newton built on and embellished it, to what we know today.

Love this movie,I thought Walter Mathau did well in " Pirates" too.

1:39:15 I fainted along with Jim Hawkins. That was a brilliantly shocking moment! That guy was terrifying.

saw it being made Images stuck in mind for a life time

Great flick, thank you! Robert Newton was brilliant.

How could you overlook C.Laughton 1945 ??🤔 the TRUEST badass pirates EVER !!! 👍👍👍

Fantastisc movie. My young dream come true.

" The Thistle" from "Bristol", how curiously funny, & yet so quaint !

Thanx for this ...Great job

Thanks for the video. I love the background about the film and the actors. I'm currently reading the classic book Treasure Island.

It is Newton, of course, whom we are emulating when "talking like a pirate" today.

Very cool collection, and, I appreciate your input. His movie, "Oliver Twist" ( not sure of title, exactly - from Disney????), always brings him to mide, for me, as his most impressive. But, there are so many... Even his younger movie...Wow! Thanks.

My favorite pirate ever ☠👍👍🇺🇸

Timeless classic!!🙂👍❤️

Best pirate ever arrrr going to have to watch this on a proper screen tablet just don't give it justice

Robert Newton was an English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Legend

Another great golden oldie.

First relationship movie I ever understood as a little kid.

"The Lord has provided for one of his flock." "ARRRRR-men." 😄 brilliant

Very good!!
