Do you? It's about time I started a thread in here, eh?! So, do you know why Jack can't get his compass to point to the Dead Man's Chest? And Elizabeth can? I'll tell you my theory, but first I want to hear yours. The one who gets closest to what I think to be right, gets a prize! AYE!

This is my theory...well Theories.
One is that Jack needs to find the key and the chest and they are both in two seperate places. so he cant differ whiche one he wants more. because the compass always pointed to the same two directions...and when Liz got her hands on it it pointed in one of those two directions...so thats my first theory.
My second theory which isnt as sensible, is that hes torn between bad and good...he wants to be bad but deep down hes a sweety pie.

yeah I have a theory. Let me do some minor explaining first.
When Elizabeth has it, it almost always points somewhere. Other times it gets confused. I think it's because she wants Jack, and sometimes she's sure, other times she's sure she wants Will. Then there are these confused moments when it goes crazy because she has no clue what she wants, just like Jack.
Jack not knowing what he wants, here's my theory. He wants the chest and wants to save his own skin and blah blah all that jazz. But he also loves Elizabeth, so he wants her most too. So it gets confused all the time. And you can prove this because when they are on the island and Elizabeth has the compass and it points to Jack, the sets it down and Jack looks at it and it is pointing to where she is. Meaning it is not confused because both Elizabeth and the chest are there, so the two things he wants most are in the exact same spot so it points exactly to one spot.
I think I've got it figured out, but obviously room for alternate explanations.

wow thats a good theory...i never thought of jack loving elizabeth...maybe Wanting her..but not loving her. except when liz kisses will jack and norry both look away like theyre jealouse..so maybe jack does love liz. I dont know..but either way good theory.

well....not necissarily...because its what you really want..and if Jack is really Hot for Liz then it would point to her. Like Liz doesnt necisarily LOVE jack...because she loves will...but i can see her Wanting him...like physically. you know what im saying?

no i mean like, jack prolly wants a lot of things...but it would have to be an exceptional want...the thing he wants most...which I guess he wouldn't have to love her, but he'd have to have pretty good feelings for her. Like if he's hungry he'll want a big mac, but I don't know if the compass would point to mcdonalds....haha sorry couldn't resist the anology mate

To quote Jack, "My compass works just fine."

Hehe, I'm with Psnoo. His compass works fine, aye. Though, he is surely having trouble with what he wants. But I think I might have that down as well. Keep this in mind- With a normal north-pointing compass, where would it point if it were on the north pole?

Well, close. I think he already has the one thing he wants most in this world.

Ah! Good theory, CC. Certainly does fit. You're not Jack's Angel for nothing ;D

Are we talking about the Pearl? Because if we're talking about Lizzie then I must point out that Jack's compass was wiggy before that.
