The Big Country (1958)
A New Englander arrives in the Old West, where he becomes embroiled in a feud between two families over a valuable patch of land.
Big-scale epic Western with great scenic cinematography and some memorable performances and scenes, although the proto-pacifist message is quite dated by now.
Halliwell***: "Big-scale Western with a few pretensions to say something about the Cold War. All very fluent, star-laden and easy to watch."
Maltin***: "Overblown Western...Heston as quick-tempered ranch foreman and Ives...as burly patriarch stand out in energetic cast."

The Blue Lagoon (1949)
Two children are shipwrecked on a desert-island and fall in love while growing up together.
Colorful exotic adventure of the Robinson Crusoe kind with a more erotic twist to the tale.
I saw this film as a kid about 30 years ago, it's one of my all-time favourites, mainly based on Jean Simmons' appeal, of course.

Until They Sail (1957)
Four sisters in New Zealand fall for four U.S. soldiers en route to the Pacific theater in WWII.
Solid woman's picture with a great cast. The fates of the people are involved are a bit too calculated, but made plausible by the excellent production.
