A minor classic - not really worth watching

It was not as bad as the s... read more

" First Viewing Viewing Date: January 20th Via: Amazon Prime Video Plot: In the Victorian period, two children are shipwrecked on a tropical island in the South Pacific. With no adults to guide them, the two make a simple life together, unaware that sexual maturity will eventually intervene. Rating: 5.3/10 Why Did I Watch It? I was curious about it due to the recent controversy, and it was free with Paramount+ through Prime. It also felt like something I should watch from a historical standpo"

Tier Ranking: The Worst Films of 1980 - 1981 (35 movies items)

"For critics, it was a piece of lovely dreck, The Blue Lagoon is a naughty fantasy that's also too chaste to be truly entertaining. My thoughts: it’s a guilty pleasure of a film, and I have literally seen way worse films."
