what film?

i remember seeing a film when i was very young with a guy and a gal who are caught in a sand storm, take shelter in a cave and end up, yes of course, getting down to it. I remember this film as i was cringingly embarassed when watching with parents. Not much to go on, but does anyone recognise this?

Im not 100% sure but do you mean The English Patient? Only I think they are in a plane flying across the desert and they somehow crash and the lady is quite badly hurt i think!

That was the first title that came to my mind, wizard.

Its a really good film. Everyone is always saying how soppy it is etc but I think its a fantastic film. Id definately recommend it if your into that sort of thing?

i suspect, if you are old enough, that it was the tv miniseries "the far pavillions". The love scene was filmed in such loving detail, with a camera slowly panning around th couple, that it looked like they were inside a microwave.

and i must take issue- the english patient is soppy drivel. i spent the last hour of the film willing the deaths of the principle characters. It was done in flashback, we knew they were going to die and i wanted them to hurry up because i was rapidly losing feeling in my buttocks.

no this would have been an early 80s film, and if i remember correctly it is quite bad!

At first I thought of The Blue Lagoon but I don't know if you get sandstorms on tropical islands! So I looked at IMDB and it could be this Blue Lagoon rip-off - http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0084469/

Romancing the Stone?

Is this film set in Africa, where the girl's parents are killed in their home and she and this guy have to cross the Kalahari to get to a town or something? If so, it's A Far Off Place with a very young Reese Witherspoon.
