Never officially released on DVD, there may be a region 0 out somewhere, George's Island was played to death on HBO when I was kid. It's the story of an outcast, George, with a kooky grandfather and a teacher who thinks he would be better off in foster care. And, there is that little bit about the treasure of Captain Kidd, on George's Island, that is protected by the ghosts of pirates. It may seem from it's synopsis like just another vapid kid's flick, but it manages to surprise with low budget charm and by not going where you might think it would. There isn't much pirate stuff in it, if that is what you are looking for, and the treasure is more of a lark than anything else. Ian Bannen, Braveheart, and Maury Chaykin, My Cousin Vinny, provide low watt star power. George's Island will never be a classic, but it is a decent movie that is far more enjoyable than a lot of the tripe made for younger audiences.
P.S. eBay usually has a couple of VHS copies up, most of the time.
