unlabelledView post →"The Blue Lagoon"... I know the story, and probably watched the remake... I know Atkins from a film I happened to watch few years ago, "A Night in Heaven"
unlabelledView post →I saw Animal House in the theater. I was 4. One particularly funny story is my sisters wanted to see “The Blue Lagoon.” Their ages: 17, 12, and 11. Problem was I was with them and I was 6. They convinced the box office manager my oldest was my guardian. This was a fucked-up movie.

unlabelledView post →Watched The Pirate Movie So what the kids of 1982 want, according to our research, is the Bloke From the Blue Lagoon in a slapstick bawdlerisation of The Pirates Of Penzance, framed as a dream with Star Wars and Closeau jokes. Lots of gay panic and my mate Terry will zhuzh up the Major General song

unlabelledView post →She was 14 when she starred in "The Blue Lagoon". A 'romantic' movie where two children are stranded on an island and she eventually has a baby.
unlabelledView post →To the extent that people watched this movie at the time, the comparison with its much more popular counterpart THE BLUE LAGOON, which we also talked about, is instructive: because while certain aspects of that plot description are parallel, the Brooke Shields movie then descends into gauzy myth,

unlabelledView post →2 August 1991 Return to the Blue Lagoon opened. Milla Jovovich landed her first starring feature-film role as Lilli after beginning her career as a successful child model. #History #HistoryMatters
unlabelledView post →Why this movie slightly fails as a drama and a romance, despite coming so close to succeeding: Return to the Blue Lagoon has the same problem Cutthroat Island has, which is it starts out pretty smart, then gets dumber and dumber as it goes, dialogue quality dwindling in a frustrating downward arc.
unlabelledView post →Return to the Blue Lagoon: Lilli's mum, Mrs. Hargrave, is the best character with the most interesting arc. The film doesn't fully succeed as drama, romance, or (mercifully, considering Milla Jovovich's age in '91) ubersoftcore porn. ...but the movie *almost* succeeds at the first two. Verdict: ⭐️⭐️ ½
unlabelledView post →🎬 Unpopular 80s movie opinion time… I know it has fans, but The Blue Lagoon might be my pick for the worst movie of the 80s. Beautiful scenery… but that’s about where my compliments end. 😂 #80s #movies Alright your turn — what’s YOUR worst 80s movie ever? 👇
unlabelledView post →I saw The Blue Lagoon at the movies when I was 8. When Brooke Shields became of age in the water and started freaking out over it... that got me. Horrifying! 😆😂🤣 Saw The Evil Dead the next year or something? You COULD count that as my first actual horror movie?

unlabelledView post →Total TV Guide gives this a measly 1 star, but I really like this film. So much so I bought it on DVD, & the 2nd one, Return to the Blue Lagoon, with Milla Jovavich.

unlabelledView post →Great episode. Maybe i missed it but i didnt hear you guys mentioned that the deserted island where Hillary is with Nigel is a clear spoof of the Blue Lagoon. Nigel even has the same curly blonde hair of Richard (in that movie).
unlabelledView post →1. Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991): This years-late cash-in on the first movie actually has a few things happen, which is a good change. There's not as much time spent on the underwater photography and Fiji vibes I enjoyed in the original, but most of the nonsense moved along noticeably faster.
