Description:

The cinematography by Néstor Almendros garnered him an Oscar nomination. Unfortunately, the performance by then child star Brooke Shields garnered her a nomination, too--for a Razzie Award. She won, he didn't.

This 1980 remake of a much classier, 1949 British version features Shields and Christopher Atkins as children shipwrecked on a lush tropical island. They grow to maturity and fall in love, with the script paying special attention to their burgeoning sexuality. Should you desire more trite dialogue, there is an even less satisfying sequel, 1991's Return to the Blue Lagoon. --Rochelle O'Gorman

5great  Jan 18, 2010
This is a great movie of love, romance,and how kids would act if never told what to expect when maturing into adulthood after their fifeboat washes up on an almost deserted island

5Great Movie!  Jun 30, 2009
The story line for Blue Lagoon is great and this movie also makes the viewer feel like they are gone back in time. Brooke Shields does an outstanding performance and keeps the viewers attention throughout the entire movie. I recommend this movie to everyone to watch.
In this special edition DVD, it would have been great if there was recent interviews done with the actors about their roles they played in this movie; which is made almost 30 years ago.

5I love this movie over and over again  Jun 18, 2009
This movie will take you away from your troubles and your own reality and bring you into another world of beauty, as the scenery is captivating and the story is incredible. If anyone has not seen this movie you are missing out on a great great movie.

5The Blue Lagoon  May 16, 2009
It took me forever to find this movie. I was so happy that I found it and I love it. It is so clear and the sound comes out so clear on my surround sound. So I reccomend this to anyone else who would like to buy this film.

4The Pathos....  May 07, 2009
I found this film most poignant. These poor children are all alone. They have no tribe, no collected wisdom, no relatives to help them. Plus they have been cruelly misled in their childhood. The setting is paradisial but the film does not gloss over the bewilderment the two kids feel. They are so ignorant, more ignorant than any native could be, and yet also "pre-programmed" with plenty of lies about sexuality and life. They are "clueless," helpless and pitiably vulnerable, in short, so alone. Loneliness is not a normal human condition. The two kids don't know what is happening to their bodies or to their feelings and intellects and both Shields and Atkins skilfully represent in acting their characters' troubles. I think that people are wrong to censure Shields's acting. The two kids bicker, not knowing why, and then feel sad. I could not help comparing the scenes of conflict here to the fictionalized sexual scenes in Robin Baker's *Sperm Wars,* which are less notable for sexual stuff as for the pathos of how men and women get along, or don't. This film is "soft porn," true. I don't speak moralizingly---I enjoy decent porn---and as soft porn, this film is as soft as a kitten by 2009 standards, and all in good taste. Skinny-dipping. That's as innocent as apple pie. But the characters' bewilderment, and Fate, combine to bring the film to a tragic ending which affected me. All the more so I think this film to be a serious comment on the human condition that is not to be contemned.
