The Blue Lagoon. 1980.

Cousins Richard and Emmeline are castaways on a deserted island and slowly discover life as they grow up.

Throught out the stuff I have put my other half through, seems fitting I gotta watch this and be happy about it. Elva Josephson and Glen Johan play the young children stranded on a island with the ship's cook Leo McKern who stands up to be the new guardian and teaches them survival and laughter.

Christopher Atkins and Brooke Sheilds play the near mature adult Richard and Emmeline who cross paths with each other and discovering about maturity and love. This did cause a controversity upon its release due to the ages of the actors and parts of nudity, can you imagine the uproar with today's standards. The cinematography is amazing with the underwater shots of the ocean mixed with a good background score by Basil Poledouris. A decent bit of early evening drama.
