The First Movie I saw in the theatre was Return to Oz when I was three. I was also terrified of the dead soldiers in the Black Caldron. Full Metal Jacket when we got a VCR has to be up there too.

I had a pretty sheltered childhood. My parents wouldn't allow me to watch the Exorcist. But, I was already reading books on demon possession and crap like Amityville Horror long before the movie came out.

Jaws was a movie that probably had more of an impact on me. I am still scared of swimming or water skiing out on the open water and thinking that there are a big set of teeth just about to take a bite out of me, even on Lake Texoma.

That part in the Peter Benchley novel about sex while driving gave me some unfortunate ideas about sex and no teeth involved.

My mom would occasionally let me read some novels after she had read them and I was OMG they did what with what? My mom would say: "grow up and I don't think it was THAT bad."

ET when I was two in the theater I still to this day can not watch any movie with anything that resembles and animal.

The Fly my mom had cut herself on a cabinet and had stitches she proceeded to tell me that she was turning into a fly. FREAKED ME OUT but she is such a punk anyways.

ahem...did you purposedly get that backwards on Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry?

Is that the movie that Crazy Larry told Dirty Mary that he was goin' to braid her tits. Or am I thinking about another movie? Anyway me and my friend were using that punchline for years.

When I got older I realized that my mom allowed me to watch some messed up ****. Here is my short list...

Exorcist
Nightmare on Elm Street
Emmanuelle (on Cinemax)
Porky's
Police Academy
Friday the 13th

I could go on for hours

I didn't see it at the theater but I remember watching Friday the 13th at around 12. I probably shouldn't have watched that.

The movie that really scared me was Poltergeist. It seems funny now but I couldn't sleep the night I saw that movie.

I remember watching some good naked flicks at my friend's house. He had HBO and less puritanical parents.

That and Jaws. I think I went a whole month at age 7 without taking a bath because I was afraid jaws would jump out of the drain hole and bite my pee-pee.

This may be a bit off topic, but HBO got me with g string divas. When your 5 years old, it's just confusing.

But I would go with the movie "the thing."

My parents were the same way. They didn't believe in limiting what I was exposed to. Not to say they'd plop me down in front of a porno, but they always took me to the same R rated movies they watched and never monitored what I was watching on TV...that sort of thing. I saw all of those and more.

I think the biggest one I shouldn't have watched so young was probably that HBO movie called, "Howard the Duck." I watched that movie over and over and over again when I was a kid. A kid probably shouldn't watch it though...I mean it has a masturbating duck in it.

That wasn't an HBO movie. It was a major theatrical release.

I thought you'd been most screwed up from watching Civil War movies though.

I was in college when I first saw HBO at my apartment in Kingston. Quest for Fire was a movie that was memorable. I mean the male cavemen jumping on the females while they were bent over lapping up the water. I guess I was still a child when I was at the university.

I know today's kids prolly think Jaws is tame...but I recall back when I was 12...

I'll never forget pulling up to the shopping mall, I'd probably been grumbling all the way to Tulsa. Dad hand me a $5.00 bill, points toward the theater.."Why don't you go see Jaws, I hear that's pretty good."

Scared me silly. Jaws is one of my favorite movies now, but I still cringe a little when Brody and Hooper are checking out the adrift boat at night.

There's probably a lot of truth in that. They constantly had me watching Gone with the Wind and The North and South, etc.

I was always made to think of Southerners as white knights who epitomized virtue, honor, and all that is right in the world.

For a long time, I thought yankees were satan's legions sent to earth to kill, rape, and pillage. I still believe that though. ;)

She sounds like my sister. My sister has always had a fascination with sharks. For a very long time she tried to convince my parents to buy her a pet shark.

I was 7 yrs old when Texas Chainsaw Massacre came out. My brother took me to see it along with his date at the Purcell drive in. I **** my pant's. Then the bastard took me to see Jaw's at the same place when I was 8.:D

I was still in the Navy when Jaws came out. Me and my ex and another couple went to the drive in out in San Diego to see that moive.

Now I can't say for sure but some ganga may or may not have been involved but that movie scared the crap outta me and took me some time to be comfortable around the ocean again. And that is a bad thing for a sailor:D

That was a great movie when it came out I was living not all that far from there and we always had stories of things like that in the area we lived.

I couldnt imagine the trauma if I lived anywhere outside the OKC :eek:

I think it was an early 70s movie - I was at that perfect age this of this thread title.

That's my point. I watched Howard the Duck, but I didnt remember the bad parts. Most of the movies I go back and rewatch as an adult and try to show my children, I have to end up turning it off, because I never knew how bad they were.

Excaliber is another one off of the top of my head.

The Day After
We didn't watch The Day After at my house, but I did see The Man Who Saw Tomorrow. The war scene at the end with the defensive missiles trying in vain to save New York freaked me clean out. I didn't see The Day After until I was 25, and I wasn't right for a day or so afterward. I would hate to think what it would have done to me at nine.

Risky Business was one of the first R rated movies I ever saw. The part with what's his face tagging Rebecca Demornay on the subway was the subject of many pubescent fantasies when i was, er, enjoying my own company.

1/6/2010, 03:20 PM

When I was 10 my sister and I talked my mom into taking us to see The Exorcist at the drive in. I spent the majority of the movie huddled in the back seat closing my eyes and covering my ears.

I saw it again at a friend's house when I was 12. To this day it still bothers me to watch it.

When I was 12 we got our first movie channel, called Fanfare. They showed Big Bad Mama, and Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Both movies I shouldn't have seen.

I don't know that there was anything that I shouldn't have seen as a kid. Nothing has really affected me the way my parents thought TV and stuff does.

Well, okay... I do tend to curse a lot. :D

Alien and that promo "you can't scream in space". Unfortunately, I took my high school girlfriend to see this flick and she wasn't as affected by that whole "you can't scream in space" thing.

see, I loved Jaws. Saw it when I was 7.

Graphic movies that might've affected me a little bit at a young age: The Outlaw Josey Wales (loved it but the graphic death scenes were disturbing) and The Elephant Man...way too depressing for an 11 year old there, mom ;)
