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

This film was such taboo when it was released, and it still is today when you think about it. I remember when I was younger my parents flipped when they caught me watching this on cable television, like it was an adult film or something.

The Blue Lagoon DVD
In 1980, when this film was released, there was quite a bit of controversy, most of it ill-founded. There were complaints about incest, but the two children are not brother and sister: Emmeline clearly addresses Arthur Lestrange as Uncle, while Richard calls him Father, so the closest they could be is cousins, and the use of Uncle may have been conventional (indicating guardianship) rather than literal. There were complaints about showing a 14-year-old actress ... Read More

The Blue Lagoon (Special Edition)
Amazon gives me the best quality product for the DVD i had ordered.
Rating:  -
I didn't read all the reviews but noticed on the ones I read everyone talks about the nudity ( I know, they're doubles ) of Brooke.
What about Chris? That's why I originally saw this movie and enjoyed watching. Very few films show male frontal nudity and it got more sterile as the years have gone on. Treated as complete taboo.
Maybe I'm alone in this?
Cheers to Chris! He fueled many a fantasy for me and was sorry his career didn't take off.
