TV, Swallows and Amazons (film, 1974)
Add an extra star if you're under eleven, as this is a child's dream. It's like the Famous Five, where they go off and have a jolly exciting time camping on an island. It's set in 1929, but you have to say that child acting has come along a bit since the 70's as they are a little too unreal, especially Roger who keeps saying stupid things. You can't imagine children these days having the knowledge to survive with parents (or TV!), knowing sea knots, cooking skills and camping! Fun, but a bit inconsequential, and I remembered it as a bit more exciting when I watched it as a child on a Bank Holiday.
