JCC Movies babysitters or parents shouldn't show kids

What kind of movies that despite being forty or fifty years old would still be off limits to kids. The stuff that gives them nightmares.

Darkness Falls

Let a little kid see that movie before their first tooth falls out and they will certainly be afraid of losing a tooth.

 

Deep Throat, although obviously it depends on the age of the child.

 

Is this a beezel announces he's going to be a father thread?

congrats?

 

why isn't this a senate thread?

 

Bambi. They killed his mom!!!

 

Beez, I'm not really on board with the mass bullying you get, or the mob mentality to derail every one of your threads with the same tired jokes, but this one is just weird.

 

I'm of the belief that there's virtually nothing off-limits, so long as the parent is in tune with their own child and knows how to properly explain things that may be upsetting / confusing / etc. if need be.

I could handle Conan the Barbarian at six and my nephew can't even do Star Wars at 10...

It all depends on the parents, the child and I generally trust the parents to know what's fine and what's not, so long as they don't bring that child to an R-rated movie at the theater where they will bother me and I have to kill them all.

 

My son's favorite movie at 4 was Terminator 3... I am a bad mom.

 

Bad... like a fox!!!

 

That is pretty bad. Tell him T2 is the last one, surely.

 

my parents took me to see quest for fire when i was 7. it was so boring. i spent the entire time in the lobby watching kids who had quarters play donkey kong. i could have easily been kidnapped. just the worst.

 

Yeah.



Night of the Living Dead.

 

Your nephew is a wimp.

 

I think it might have been T2. It was the one with the liquid guy that stuck his sharp arm thingy through the guys mouth when he was drinking milk. I, on the other hand, can't watch anything with serial killers. At all.

 

Yes, that was T2. I didn't think your son was thta young

 

At 3 my dad showed me The Excorcist. Didn't bother me at all. But Kiss and the Phantasm well that scared the crap out of me. It was a tv movie way back when.

 

Would Jaws affect a kid especially if you lived in and around Cape cod or the ocean itself?

 

Would 2012 affect a kid in the year 2012?

 

Passion of the Christ

 

I wouldn't recommend any kid seeing any R-rated film at all until they're at least 16, and that's with a parent. Sadly, though, many films now granted a PG-13 are equal in content to what R movies were just ten years ago.

 

Your kids are going to love the Harry Potter films.

 

Most people I've heard complain about that film do so not because of the blood, but the identity of the victim. Guess what, folks: crucifixion was a horrible, barbaric way to die. As intense as the film gets, it still doesn't equal the historical reality of the practice. If you want to stand against gore, prevent your kids from watching films about axe-murderers and such.

 

The main thing that freaks me out about that series is the snakes, especially Voldemort's pet Nagini and the cobra from Harry's duel with Draco in "Chamber of Secrets". The baselisk from that film was really creepy, but the others I mentioned were worse for me. The zombies in "Half-Blood Prince" and spiders in "Chamber" never bothered me too much.
