Watch The Blue Lagoon For Free

the audience applauded

Great Film overall

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I saw this film in 1955.It was marvelous!I am 73 year old now and I still remember this Movie.Releas this film again pleas.Jean Simmons has to be remembered with this great nice film. A great fan!I think that when the war was over in Europe we needed a film like the blue Lagoon to dream away in dreams.Blue sea white sand green palm trees.Love and tenderness.We needed it all.To overcome hunger and sadness.There must be something strange not to release this film while so many fans are waiting.I don't know the producer of this great film.I think there are fans who can give this information.I can't remember the music but I know that it was a beautyfull melody.Sorry if my English is not correct. Thank you a great FAN.

I'd really like to see this version. I must admit, I loved the 1980 film when I first saw it as a kid and in its edited version as well. I've seen it again recently, and it is pretty cheesy. But the fun kind of cheesy.I was really curious about the original source for the movie, because I read that it was originally based on a book written at the turn of the 20th century. So I went to amazon and lo and behold, you can actually download the book for $2.99. (It's funny to read it on the computer because at one point the author talks about Emmeline holding a package about the same size as the book you are holding now.)The characters of the book are much more subdued and introspective than the 80s characters. There was one lovely section of the book where Emmeline is wanting to go back to the other side of the island. She has been scared of it since they found Paddy dead, but she decides she wants to return because she's not afraid anymore. She had a child and now knows that death may be a void, but life comes out of that void as well.I don't know how the 40s movie ends, but the 80s movie ends exactly how the book does. I don't think it is necessarily a happy ending. The sailor says "they're sleeping" but Paddy says those were the "never-wake-up berries" and you've got to wonder if this time he was right. Also, in the book the Uncle starts to have the some doubt about whether "rescuing" the children from paradise is something that is necessarily good for them.

When i saw the movie, it was the "B" movie, i.e. it had second billing of a two-movie presentation. But I loved the story, and the children, and I've always loved the name "Michael" because of this movie. I still love to hear the neighborhood children calling for their friend, "Michael"The best part was when they discovered each other on the beach after he rescued her---when she (or he) says, "You're trembling."I'm sorry to hear the movie is no longer available. I was wondering why there were no longer any re-runs.

I saw this movie years ago (on a snowy b/w portable before cable).The remake is true to this original with the exception of the ending. The fate of the trio was left in the air, unlike the promise of a "happy ending" of the remake. Nudity was not as blatant in this version. It was natural and more innocent than the remake.I loved it. A true classic original that I would love to see again! I was disappointed when I wrote to England to find out that this movie is indefinitely withdrawal from future viewing.
