To be shocked watching back kids movies from my childhood with DD

I went to find the lyrics to prove you wrong! Turned out you’re right and they don’t scream. 😂🤯

I remember writing my film review on Misery in primary school 😂😂 i bloody loved it. Could have only been about p6! My Personal reading review in p7 was on silence of the lambs 🙈.
So a film with the word bitch in it wouldnt have phased younger me at all i suppose.
Still a disney girl at heart though!

the goonies should be a safer one

You'd think so, but when I watched it the other day I cringed at the upskirting scenes

We recently watched Mrs Doubtfire and there are a lot of Bastards and Assholes in the first half hour

My 6 year old hasnt heard these words before

I loved robocop and the running man as a kid and I’m talking under age 10 were they in appropriate of course but I still love those movies and watch them whenever they are on. As adults we see the nostalgia in the movies we watched as kids we don’t remember the bad stuff or things we shouldn’t have been watching (not meaning the movies I’ve mentioned) it’s not u til we watch it back as an adult we’re like wtf were we watching. I will throw Addams family values In to the mix uncle fester and Debbie getting jiggy no idea as a kid as an adult I get it shouldn’t have been allowed but still love it and let me kids watch it because they don’t get it either like we never at that age.
we watch these films and love them for the story and adventures, give me an 80’s 90’s or early 2000 movie any day most movies made these days are shit

I loved Jim Carey in The Truman Show which he plays much straighter than his other characters. I can’t stand his gurning in pretty much anything else. Wish he had done more non-comedic/only light-touch comedy stuff.

Tried watching Liar Liar with my daughter but gave up after fifteen minutes.

You're correct. There was a section in a documentary a while back & it showed how the whistle sound matched the script - "sod it, the bloody thing's stuck again" 😆

There's other stuff too that comes up when you Google it 🙂

Only got this far. They both did

The Brave Little Toaster terrified my little ones some years ago!

Not a film but I hated Tracy Beaker when my kids were young. They got threatened that if they EVER spoke to me like that little shouty madam, I wouldn't be responsible for my actions..

Our local cinema up until quite recently would put an intermission into films to sell ice cream and cups of tea (with cups and saucers from a big teapot).

With the notable exception of the infamously rated U watership down, where the seagull tells one of the rabbits to "piss off" 😂

@Minimili Thelma and Louise: on the first night of their trip someone tries to rape Louise so Thelma shoots him, thus prompting the running away and the eventual drive into the canyon.

It's a great film, but not for kids.

The big cinemas in cities were not lax in my experience back then. It was small local cinemas that had a couple of teenagers or early twenties staff working there at night. Once the manager had gone home, they did not care who they let in.

Yes, our local cinema was as lax at the ticket booth as it was at its bar. Different times.

Well quiet but I remember watching it and thinking it was all about dancing. Only watching it years later I realised it wasn’t. Can’t remember how old I was the first time I saw it at the cinema definitely not 18.

I remember going to watch so many 18 movies from about 15 onwards. They'd just ask you your age at the ticket desk and you'd pipe up "I'm 18" and job done!

Saturday Night Fever was originally an art house movie and was meant to be gritty. But it was re released after the success off Grease.
Some small local cinemas back then were staffed by young adults who did not care much about age restrictions. I saw Midnight Express at 15 in the cinema and I looked about 12. The young guy in the box office did not care.

Just googled 1977 I was 13 so not sure how I managed to watch it at cinema.

Speaking of Eddie Murphy, another film I would recommend is "Trading Places" (1983) with Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis. A really great film.

One of my favourite films of all time, I seem to find something new every time I watch it.
All those people pearly clutching about various films, I wonder how many of you saw these films as young teens etc and noticed what you're now complaining about? An adult sees far more, especially if they're forensically looking for it, than a young viewer.

I vividly recall going to see a modern interpretation of the Canterbury Tales in Leeds, a school party arrived just as it was starting, accompanied by the Nuns from their school. In one story, can't recall which one, a couple are in bed, shown as a sheet held vertically with much action going on behind it. The school party all stood up, led by the Nuns, and left, as noisily as they'd arrived. The Nuns clearly didn't know the Canterbury Tales!

That was a product of its time though. It's one of my favourite ever films. I think the message in it goes over most people's heads, they just assume it's some disco dancing movie when it's so much more than that - it's about escapism from the dead end life and fucked up place New York was in the 70s, with its racism, sexism, homophobia, violence etc. It was always meant to be a dark movie, and definitely not for kids.

I remembered that when my dc asked to watch it and said no. It is a shame as I know the older would love it, but I am preserving that as long as possible.

Problem Child.

I loved it as a kid! Watched it with my two and was horrified when the the 'baddie' broke into the kid's house and raped his step mom...but she liked it, fell in love with him and they ran away together 🥴

I do actually love Greese ( though had forgotten about Danny also changing himself), just don't think it's appropriate for pre-teens.

Love LOB. The scene with Michael Palin as the ex leper is one of my favourite things in life.
