Clipper ships taking the shortest route between the Mississippi and the Atlantic often end up on the shoals of Key West in the 1840s. Salvaging the ships’ cargos has become a lucrative business for two companies - one headed by a feisty young woman. Then she falls in love with the captain of a wrecked ship while he recuperates at her home. She travels to Charleston and is charming to the man most likely to be head of the captain’s company, thinking she will be able to get the captain the position he wants on the company’s first steam ship.

This is such a bizarre genre hybrid, where it eventually comes down to a battle with a huge octopus, that it's simply impossible for me not to like "Pirates of the Caribbean". It's definitely not a perfect movie, it's occasionally too lighthearted, overall a bit over the top, and jumps from one storyline to another, even though it's kind of obvious how it ends, but it's still something worth seeing.
