I just happened to stumble upon the Lord of the Flies film on IFC one night at the perfect age of a kid. Was like, "oh wow cool bunch of kids trying to survive on an island this looks like a cool movie!" ... an hour later and I grew up real fast.

Same here. I was the age of the kids in the movie or a little younger. Learned some things that day.

Funny thing is I've heard of a study where they did something similar (safer and more controlled I'm sure), and the boys all cooperated with each other and got along very nicely.
