Yeah the Labyrinth he's a child abuser!! The BFG the original is so weird (used to love it as a child) watched as an adult with my dd and I thought it was horrid a grown man/giant stealing a little girl from and orphan taking her home then watches her bath. The wiz pop bit also freaks me out when he tells her to fart to after consuming some liquid it’s all just weird.

I don't know the name of this film, someone might know. It was very distressing though. It was set at a school for deaf children. Or possibly the main character was deaf. He was being bullied. Someone stole a toy from him - a 70s style snake, the ones that are lots of wooden ovals screwed on together. I think at the end he gets his snake back and either he or the bully runs away down the train tracks. Because he's deaf he can't hear the train coming. People are screaming to warn him but he is killed. Horrific

First time I watched Pinocchio I was 4 or 5 and I was terrified! Kept watching though because I wanted to check to see if the donkey boys got rescued. They didn’t and I was distraught! Was good as gold for days after in case my mum got the idea to send me away and have me turned into a donkey Grin

Round the twist is amazing! Showed it to my daughter when she was about 8 and she laughed a lot at the weirdness. And even now whenever anyone utters the words “have you ever...?” Someone in our house will start singing the theme tune.

My sadistic ex made DD then aged 7 watch Watership Down about a fortnight after we got her pet rabbits (I was out with her little brother) DD got about 10 minutes into it before she ran away and hid. She’s never seen more than the first 10 minutes of it and was in a state when I got home. Apparently there’s a river of bunny blood in those first 10 minutes? (I never watched it as my mum told me it was vile and all the rabbits die so we swerved it). Ex thought it would be “funny” because he is a cunt.

I think it’s a PG but labyrinth is dodgy as fuck.
Stealing a baby so you can get with some 13 year old girl. Weird.

Labyrinth is a u!
We watched it with our 5 year old recently and were both a bit wtf!

UnderTheIroningBoard · 21/04/2020 22:17

Labyrinth is a U?! I thought it was at least a 12. I wouldn't let a child watch it that's for sure.

Pressed send too soon: Bowie's trousers should be R rated anyway.

Parques, my grandson loved Frankenweenie, he's 3 but has been brought up on Tim Burton films.

Round the Twist is on Amazon not Netflix.

Polar Express scared my DD when we tried to watch it at Christmas, I think it's the faces lots of the main chard tor's just look weird.

The child catcher in Chittychitty Bang Bang have me nightmares for weeks when I watched it as a child and Cruella DeVille in the cartoon version of 101 Dalmatians.

Don't look under the bed... it's a disney channel original and scared the life out of me as a kid!

Living Daylights is now my least favourite Bond film. I’ve started watching a Bond a day with DS (12) and I was fucking horrified at the RAPE scene where he convinces the virgin tarot reader to have sex with him by using a deck of all “lover” cards. Horrible references to how her boss/master would have shagged her when he no longer had any use for her psychic abilities

That's Live and Let Die with Roger Moore. The Living Daylights was the first of Timothy Dalton's two Bond films. Ironically enough the latter is noteable for the fact Bond only sleeps with one woman in the film.

A bit harsh on Labrynth, the girl character in it is supposed to be 16 so although she’s young she’s not under age of consent.

Weirdly I used to love Watership Down as a child, watched it many times and had a pet rabbit. Tried to rewatch it a few years ago and struggled to with all the violence and cruelty.

Yes to the Witches and also Robin Hood Prince of thieves. Saw that at the cinema age 11 and found the witch terrifying as well as the forced marriage scene where he is attempting to strip and rape Marian.

Labyrinth gets a pass because in the plot David Bowie represents the scary world of adult sexuality, so of course he is a slightly sexually-threatening adult. I will admit that the muppets are creepy as fuck though.

@JanMeyer Thank you, you’re right. I’ve seen that many JB films recently, they’re all blurring together.
