In this classic 1963 adaptation of William Golding's novel, a planeload of schoolboys is stranded on a tropical island. They've got food and water; all that's left is to peacefully govern themselves until they're rescued. "After all," says choir leader Jack, "We're English. We're the best in the world at everything!" Unfortunately, living peacefully is not as easy as it seems. Though Ralph is named chief, Jack and the choristers quickly form a clique of their own, using the ever-effective political promise of fun rather than responsibility to draw converts. Director Peter Brook draws some excellent performances out of his young cast; the moment when Ralph realizes that even if he blows the conch for a meeting people might not come is an excruciating one. Well acted and faithfully executed, Lord of the Flies is as compelling today as when first released. --Ali Davis

I recently watched this. What a classic. I vividly remember reading this one in high school, probably more than any other book from that time. The audio/video quality is pretty weak, but it's still one heck of a story.

"We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English! And the English are best at everything!"

This movie is in my Top 10 list. When I was in school, before DVRs and cable and the like, I would develop the most horrendous cough if it was going to be shown on TV during the day because I simply had to stay home and watch it.

Sadly, James Aubrey, who played Ralph, recently passed away. He was only 62.

Ha, that's funny.
