Any good serious Mermaid movies?
For Mermaid, I thought "creature" was very good. Sure it's a horror movie but it's a nice change from cartoons and comedy. I can't remember if Fantasy Island episode with a mermaid was good or not, but that's the only serious one I can think of. Russian cinama has "The Little Mermaid". It's fairly old and cheesy gears toward young children but the mermaid was hot 
.
Anyway, anyone know of other available ones out there, let me know. There's something about mermaids that just get me excited. Sexual aside, there's something mystical out it that I find a movie of it interesting along the same line as medusa/snake woman and fairies.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but The Secret of Roan Inish might interest you.

Secret of Roan Inish is an absolutely fantastic movie. Not exactly a mermaid, but a "selke"----a seal that can live part of her life as a woman---but along the same lines. One of my all-time favorite movies---a very warm, human, well-crafted example of magical realism.

Oh yes, that's the name and not "creature" as I've stated originally. Always wondered why they called it part 1.

I'm sure it's not out on DVD or even on VHS, but sometimes it shows up on cable - MIRANDA with Glynnis Johns showing off her tail.
Another one is MR PEABODY AND THE MERMAID which is easier to track down.
But both of these are in the "lovable mermaid" category.

Really? Was she already legal in this one? I have to get that!
(at any rate, avoid the reissued version that did a bad job of replacing Traci's scenes ie. inserting new scenes shot on video into a feature that was originally shot on film)
