If you can't sleep some night, I recommend this flick from 1988 starring pretty Aidan Quinn and the beautiful Seychelle Islands. Very loosely based on "Robinson Crusoe", the story is switched to 1808 America at the beginning with Quinn as a cocky young slave trader who hires a boat to take him to Africa for more human booty. The ship founders on an idyllic unsettled island in a storm and Crusoe and the ship's dog (with a name out of a 50's sitcom) are the only survivors. Crusoe quickly learns to fend for himself and eventually acquires the companionship on an equally-snotty Friday with whom he experiences several life-affirming moments, all exquisitely shot by major cinematographer/minor director Caleb Deschanel. A snore for most adults, this picture might appeal to youngster bookworms on a rainy day.
