Favorite Secluded Movies On An Island/Water?

Last Day of Summer (1958) -- considered an "experimental auteur" flick, but don't let that scare you. It's about a man who meets a woman, and there's no one else in the movie (which I like, too)..

"Hell in the Pacific" is a really cool movie with only two characters (Toshiro Mifune, Lee Marvin), but its a lot of jungle.

A ton of Bergman movies. "Persona" is probably the best movie out of the bunch.

Unfortunately if you google this, you see nothing but stranded movies.

Castaway and Jaws
I watched Hell In The Pacific on your suggestion, it was really good

Castaway ! Real original. Your best friend is a volleyball !

[–] actionkamen (23176) 5 years ago

Cast Away is basically modern version of Robinson Crusoe. Not very original, but still memorable.

I'm very honored that you would heed a suggestion of mine and glad you liked it.

Hell in the Pacific is a solid film. I believe Kowalski likes it as well.

[–] BillHicksFan (10716) 5 years ago

I'd love to see more 2 character movies like that.

Shock Waves (1977) /tt0076704. Nazi zombie soldiers on an island.

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21717) 5 years ago

I like that one too! I think all you have to do to kill those zombies is pull off their goggles. 😀

the noah - weird post-apocalypse film that i'm pretty sure took place on an island.

Robinson Crusoe (1954)

The original.

The best.

Good luck finding it.

Way to unPC for today's audience.

Had the "White man's burden" philosophy working hard in this one.

Civilized man meets cannibal savage.

As a history buff, this movie (and book!)is best that I know of at explaining the mindset of explorers of Western civilization in the 17th-early 20th century encountering new 'uncivilized' tribes.

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

I love how Leo’s hair always looks perfect even when he gets out of gross water

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

🤔 I hadn’t noticed. I’ll pay closer attention next time.

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

I will not die today !!

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Dammit capn’ is this a movie quote? I’m a stoner, I never remember that shit. But... neither will I!

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

It’s when Leo fought the shark in the beach

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

That was badass. Dude made a shark his bitch!

Someone gave me that book before the movie ever came out. ‘‘Twas good.

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

‘‘Twas it ? ‘‘Twas it really ?

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

‘‘Twas my friend.😁

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

My friend it’s funny because I have a book copy of the beach and it has Leo on the cover “ now a major motion picture “

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

How does his hair look?

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

Perfect
