Cutthroat Island (1995)

Listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest box office flop of all time, but don’t let that stop you watching Cutthroat Island. Geena Davis scalps her dead father for the final piece of a map leading to huge stash of hidden gold. Thar's plenty more blood and gore, too, as Davis races against the clock to complete her quest before her crew mutiny against her.
