What's a movie that you were probably "too young" to see, when you first watched it, but you're glad you did?

What the fuck, that had to be a trip! Either watch order would suck: ruin your mood before Totoro or get blindsided by the second feature.

Interesting note. Thanks for this!

I miss the days when silly slapstick was mixed with subtle adult humor to make a family film for all ages.

My youngest introduction to Mel Brooks was Robin Hood: Men in Tights. I never fully understood the chastity belt bits at first. Call the locksmith!

The dynamic of Murray and Martin as the masochist and the sadist was fucking brilliant!

I'm gonna get a candy bar I'm gonna get a candy bar!

Trainspotting. I do feel like it kept me away from drugs though.

What's in the box?

I thought Nancy was so hot!

Your family's name is Latrine. We changed it, it used to be shithouse!

Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DSY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?

I think I was 7 when I first watched it. I also thought it was really cool then. Still one of my favorites.

[w3dd1e@lemm.ee]

Probably not what you had in mind but West Side Story. I didn’t care about musicals or romance. My dad made me watch it. He was a tough guy who liked kung fu movies and football. But he wasn’t afraid to be soft either. He liked musicals as much as he liked Bruce Lee. Glad we watched it together though. I appreciate that stuff now.

[thequickben@lemm.ee]

This was a tough one to watch.

[bunkyprewster@lemmy.world]

I saw Midnight Cowboy when I was a little kid at the drive in theater with my parents. Didn't really understand it and I was unsettling, but I lived the song and Dustin Hoffman's "I'm walking here!"

Pink Flamingos.

What the fuck.

Lol, you're glad about it?

"It's shite being Scottish. We're the lowest of the low. Some people hate the English. The English are just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonised by wankers. We can't even find a decent civilization to be colonised by. It's a shite state of affairs and all the fresh air isn't going to change any of that, Tommy."

That was from memory, let's see how I did!

"It's shite being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low! The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash, that was shat into civilisation! Some people hate the English, I don't! They're just wankers! We, on the other hand, are colonised by wankers! Can't even find a decent culture to be colonised by!
We're ruled by effete assholes! It's a shite state of affairs to be in Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference!"

Not too bad after a few decades.

[stringere@sh.itjust.works]

It wasn't too early for me to see it but Requiem for a Dream is also an excellent cautionary movie about heroin, addiction, and mental health.

[maiq@lemy.lol]

Defiantly not bad from memory.

Mine was a cut and paste, I tried from memory but got so much wrong, mostly out of order and forgot a few lines.
