Under the Lighthouse Dancing.......2006-02-23

My wife and I have watched this movie several times. We enjoy the story and acting very much. A very uplifting movie for anyone that has ever lost a loved one.

Loved The Lighthouse.......2006-02-18

We loved this touching Movie, filmed on Rottnest Island off Perth, Western Australia. Have searched for many months and were so grateful that Amazon had the DVD. All our friends love it as well. A romantic comedy with a good portion of humour and an uplifting message at the end as Australian singer John Farnham sings "Lifted up by Angels". If you don't crack a tear, better check your pulse!

Top Ten of All Time.......2006-01-08

This is movie is on my top ten movies of all time list. This is a movie about true love and friendship and the ability of love to surpass even the largest of barriers.
Everything about the movie from the actors, the words, to the music, the sounds, the color, and the setting made this movie. It is a packaged set that is so complete...dare I say perfect.
Please take an opportunity to see this movie. When you do you will make it a part of your movie collection.
The Special features on the DVD are fun as well.
Please feel free to e-mail me with specific questions!

touching movie about friendship and relationships.......2005-01-02

I did not feel the movie at all sugary and "sentimental". One of the friends reveals she's dying. If the characters did not express sentiment, they'd be sociopaths. The movie was slow-paced, but not painfully so, and the scenery was beautiful. The film contains a wedding to end all weddings, certain to please many people. My only quibble with the movie is the music played at the wedding. It needed to be joyful and I'm sure the filmmaker thought this music was, but to me it was determined, abandoned, maybe defiant. I would have preferred something more emotionally in tune with the rest of the music of the film. Watching this movie a second time last night, I was reminded of the novel "Last Things, First Things." Both are set largely on a beautiful island, both deal with death, both involve love and relationships, yet both manage to be upbeat with satisfying endings.

Too syrupy for us........2004-11-18

My girlfriend and I were looking forward to seeing this, after what we had read about it - it was on TV, here, and we had also read the comments on Amazon, before seeing it.

After watching about 3/4 of it, we both felt it was getting too sugary and sentimental, and we started to fast forward the video, just to see how it ended.

Some of the acting is good, (not all of it, though), but we both felt that we couldn't take any more of the film, at one point. (We both do like films about relationships, romance, etc., but felt this was a disappointment.) Sorry.

Not "R" rated copy MAYBE "PG".......2006-08-18

Information on this item shows it as being rated-R. However the box shows R rating with this addition. "Some scenes of violence and language have been edited" This also includes all nudity. To watch this copy is like watching a "edited for television" cut. I returned my copy....

TERMINAL ISLAND.......2006-01-10

PURCHASING THIS DVD WAS A BIG DISAPOINTMENT! I WISH I HAD READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE BUYING IT!
I SAW THIS MOVIE BACK IN THE MID-1970'S,AND I HAPPEND TO BE A LOVER OF B-MOVIES BUT,THIS MOVIE WAS EDITED FOR TELEVISION SO THE BAD WORDS AND THE NUDITY WAS CUT OUT OF THE MOVIE! I WAS A FAN OF MISS PHYLISS DAVIS AND TO SEE HER SCENES OF NUDITY CUT OUT PISSED ME OFF!
IF ANYBODY HAS A VERSION THATS UNEDITED,PLEASE EMAIL ME!

Yes, I was duped with the editing too.......2006-01-03

I was fully expecting to replace my VHS tape from the 70's. Our cult following this movie was severely disappointed to find it was edited and still contained the R rating.

disappointed.......2005-09-16

there are two versions of this movie - one is edited and one is not - do not buy the edited one - it is not worth it.

Edited Down Terminal Island.......2005-04-07

This is a good movie in it's original form. The movie for sale is edited down and not worth buying. Back of package shows R rating and then in small print tells you they have edited it. Putting R on package is fraudulent. Do not buy this DVD until they get unedited version.

These pioneers of the fishing industry prospered for several decades until 1941, when World War II triggered the tragic end to their tight-knit village. The Lost Village of Terminal Island is the story of this unique place as told by its original inhabitants, the American-born nisei who spent their childhood there. From its formation nearly 100 years ago to the ongoing struggle to keep the community alive, these nisei will always consider Terminal Island their Furusato - Home Sweet Home.
