The Blue Lagoon (Special Edition)

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

The lush beauty and splendor of a South Pacific paradise is vividly captures in this version of Henry DeVere Stacpoole's 1903 novel. Two small children and a ship's cook survive a shipwreck and find safety on an idyllic tropical island. Soon however the cook dies and the young boy and girl are left on their own. Days become years and Emmeline (Brooke Shields) and Richard (Christopher Atkins) make a home for themselves surrounded by exotic creatures and nature's beauty. They learn to cope with the bewildering variety of physical and emotional changes that come with adolescence. And as they begin to mature their childhood affections lead to a sensitive and more profound love and the birth of a child. But will they ever see civilization again?System Requirements:Starring: Brooke Shields Christopher Atkins Leo McKern and William Daniels. Directed By: Randal Kleiser. Running Time: 105 Min. Color.

It's My Party [Special Edition]

Director Randal Kleiser is so noted for featherweight fare like The Blue Lagoon and Grease that when It's My Party hit theaters in 1996, critics clapped while filmgoers turned fickle. But it's a potent and tear-jerking film if only because of the personal weight it bears. As Kleiser revealed in interviews at the time of the film's release, the event that made him sit down and write the film "was so powerful it became a turning point in my life," and this film is a fictionalized, heartfelt depiction of that event.

It's My Party is about Nick (Eric Roberts) a young gay man whose AIDS symptoms become life threatening. He decides to toss a final party before he ends his life and invites his friends and family to this most special of special occasions. But then the ex-love of his life--a Kleiser-like film director (Gregory Harrison) who bailed on him after he was diagnosed with AIDS--arrives.

Kleiser called in favors from his friends and they all worked for scale. He said he "never worked on a set that was so supportive." The result is a movie about AIDS that merits a second look not only because it is empathic and loving, but because it's also defined by Kleiser's honesty and self-critical desire for redemption. --Paula Nechak

Writer-director Randal Kleiser (Grease) creates "a genuine family feeling" (Roger Ebert) with this "brave funny and heartbreaking" (Rex Reed The New York Observer) film starring Margaret Cho Academy Award® winner* Lee Grant Gregory Harrison Academy Award® winner** Marlee Matlin Olivia Newton-John Bronson Pinchot Eric Roberts George Segal and Roddy McDowall.Roberts gives a "touching urgent performance" (San Francisco Chronicle) as Nick a man whose three-year battle with AIDS is about to come to a close. Rather than face debilitation he chooses to end his life but not before throwing the greatest farewell party of all time. As friends and family gather for a bittersweet celebration something incredible happens. It's a two-day long uplifting outrageous and life-affirming party that is ultimately Nick's everlasting legacy.*1975: Supporting Actress Shampoo**1986: Actress Children of a Lesser GodSystem Requirements:Running Time: 110 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: R UPC: 027616878892 Manufacturer No: M101863
