POTC Vs. Last Temptation
Gibson's POTC vs Scorsese's Last Temptation?
Which did you find was a more powerful, better film?
Why has everyone forgotten about Last Temptation?

Actually, to me POTC="Pirates of the Carribbean".
It was released first after all.
That being said, I gotta go with POTC, because there really just wasn't enough pirate action in LT (Last Temptation? Lost in Translation? Lady and the Tramp? lite tuna? legal tender? Lawrence Taylor?) for my liking.

Although I was intrigued by Last Temptation, and I'm a big Martin Scorsese fan, I'm gonna have to go with Pirates on this one. Johnny Depp was AWESOME in Pirates, and embodied the role of Jack Sparrow more convincingly than Willem Dafoe did the role of Jesus Christ. Pirates of the Carribean all the way.
Can't wait for the sequel!

But yeah, I'm with everybody else. Although Harvey Keitel was hilarious as Judas Iscariot, he can't beat Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow. Depp brings the funny.

In a thread on another forum I saw people abbreviating Big Fish as BF!! My god, if your time is that valuable, maybe you should just start billing people for reading your posts. I am going to start abbreviating 21 Grams as 21G and maybe Mystic River as just M, because that extra R is just too time consuming for me.
I don't know what to do about the Peter Lorre/Fritz Lang film M after that though.

As entertainment, I prefer Pirates to Last Temptation. As a dramatic piece, I'd put Last Temptation ahead of Pirates. I'd also say Passion of the Christ is better, as a dramatic work than both Last Temptation and Pirates. Depp's work in Pirates, however, is pretty inventive. I'd like to see him play Jesus. In general, portraying Jesus doesn't have a lot of room for work and variety in ability, it's pretty strict.

Depp is too old to play Jesus, although I suppose he might pull it off but he'll have to hurry. Since he's already done "Keith Richards as Captain Jack" perhaps he could try "Mick Jaggar as Jesus" ???

Definately Pirates of the Carribean! 
Have to agree with CKRB (CitizenKaneRBud... sorry I couldn't be bothered typing the whole thing out) that Jesus is just a role you don't mess with. People expect a certain dignity and restraint from anyone portraying the J-man (Jesus, again, I M 2 layZ 2 spell it).
N E Way got 2 go!
JD 4 EVA! (That's Johnny Depp, not Jesus... or James Dean... sorry 4 all the confusion)

I would have understood the thread title better if it had been "POTC vs. LTOC."
ESBA (everything should be abbreviated.)

Wait, which are we talking about? Because I really think the thread title should be changed so that people don't get confused between Pirates and Passion. IN any case, my vote goes to:
Passion of the Carribean
Passion of the Carribean
