Films that you loved as a child but view slightly differently now! (Light hearted)

[fastingmum123]

Was watching Mrs Doubtfire a film I've always loved with my dcs the other day and looking at it now it's pretty creepy. Maybe I'm just looking into it to much.

I also never realised that grease was about teenage pregnancy ect.

Joffrey Its a bit moodier and darker than Grease which is all fun and light. The kids are the next year I think, although Frenchie is in it. It's got a young Michelle Pfeifer in it. Give it a watch.

Big!
Although I still love it and watch it, the fact he is a boy having sex is a bit weird even if he is in an adults body.

Big - a 13 year old boy inside the body of a man. He had an adult relationship and sex. I love love love the film but it does make me cringe now.

I've not seen Grease 2. Is it good?

No. It is terrible. But in the best possible way

Disclaimer: haven't seen it since I was about 12, when I was obsessed with it. I still know all the words to Cool Rider though

Jinx Hellsbells!

I watched Breakfast Club recently and while I still loved them all I did find myself sympathising with the poor teacher who had to come in on Saturday and deal with all that. Bleddy kids.

Spooky

Oh I forgot about big that is pretty wrong, even if he is in an adults body!

It's the song about the Sabine women

I had to go look it up as I thought that was to do with abducting them, which I admit is no better.

It seems they don't use the word rape for this like we do now but use it for the abduction.

Wasn't it lucky in Seven Brides that everyone fancied the one they were paired up with. There weren't any 'but I want THAT one' style huffs!

Defo Grease. If a boy disrespects you and basically sexually assaults you on the first date you can win him back by completely changing yourself and starting smoking!

Grease 2 is shit. It really is.

The start of Dumbo makes me a bit in fact, all of Dumbo really, with all its not-so-subtle racism.

Being bored just googled and found rape in Latin means to abduct. The Roman men used to abduct Sabine women to be their wives.

The beginning of dumbo is so sad. The pink elephant song used to really scare me.

The ones that sprung to my mind have already been mentioned: Big and The Parent Trap!

Home alone how on earth have they not had social services involved the amount of times they have left him.

The Wizard Of Oz. They didn't even bother to look for Dorothy, it's just like 'oh well, she's gone, shut the door'.

blues Brothers - always remembered this has a jolly musical. Therefore, allowed son to watch it with a friend years ago. Didn't realise how much swearing etc there was in it.

The point about the last scene in Grease is that they've both tried to change their image - Danny is dressed as a sporty "jock" and Sandy is in her leather gear!

I watched seven brides for seven brothers for the very first time at Christmas because my DH loved it as a child. I'm 35. I was so shocked that it was seemingly 'OK' to abduct a bunch of women and hold them hostage because you were a bit horny!

The pink elephant song in dumbo. Is that the psychedelic scene? I was really scared of that too (thought I was the only one) and still don't really watch Dumbo now if my daughter has it on.
Pinocchios really quite shocking when you watch it as an adult.

Not making excuses for them but the idea was to marry the girls,but they forgot to bring the parson as I remember! They weren't holding them hostage.

I know it's not a movie but The Thorn Birds.
Remember my mum used to watch it and I loved it. My sister gave me the dvd last year, and just yuck! 'Father Ralph' perving over a really young Meggie.

Heavenscent yes that's the one I really didn't like it but I was quite an easily scared child I have never seen the whole of labyrinth as it scared me so much.

Funnily enough I didn't get scared of labyrinth or the child catcher in Chitty Chitty bang bang which I probably should have been. But I was scared of ET for some reason.
