A bit of ambiguity in that subject, as “swashbucklers” could refer either to the films or to the characters. Still, interpret it as you will…  Pirates, Robin Hood, Zorro, et al., all count. Captain Blood
Adventures of Robin Hood
The Black Swan (more for Laird Cregar than for Tyrone Power, though Power is fine… Cregar is superb, though, one of the greatest cinematic pirates.) The Man in the Iron Mask ’39 Moonfleet
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
The Count of Monte Cristo ‘34 The Count of Monte Cristo 2002 (excellent film… Why isn’t this one better known?) The Prisoner of Zenda ‘37 The Princess Bride
The Mask of Zorro ‘98 Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
I’d love to see that film adaptation Spielberg planned of Michael Crichton’s excellent Pirate Latitudes, but I’m not sure if that’s still in the works… OK, off to you!
