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

That was one of the movies that led to the creation of the PG13 rating, wasn't it?

Saving private ryan at 13 was a bit horrific. The slow knife scene....

[ourkaos@lemmy.today]

I swore off Tylenol for a bit after watching that...

[trijste@lemmy.world]

I think I was six and saw it in the theatre. Some adult themes for sure.

[friend_of_satan@lemmy.world]

I saw this one in my late teens, and it was good, but it was way better as an adult.

I'll always have a hard time watching the knife scene.

[lowtiercomputer@lemmy.world]

Fantastic movie though!!

Earlier that summer my father had made me clean a deer that had been shot in the gut and he did some hollywood style child abuse when I barfed about it, so I was pretty numb to the gore. What really bothered me was some of the dialog. I shudder 30 years later when I think about the line, "where we're going we don't need eyes to see."

My stepdad was horrified he'd taken his stepdaughter to see something so graphic and made me and my friends promise not to tell anyone what we saw and to downplay the gore.

Emmanuelle

The Blue Lagoon

Shit, that was a Brazilian afternoon staple for the whole 90s. No idea how much the tv channel censored/cut for the afternoon, but considering we had "banheira do gugu" during sunday afternoons... (if you don't wanna look for it on youtube, it was a piece where 2 celebrities, a man and a woman, would get in a bathtub and try to get as many soaps out. One of them would be tasked with getting the soap, the other was tasked with not letting the other do so. All of that live for the whole country, of course)

[lowtiercomputer@lemmy.world]

Is it any good?

[lowtiercomputer@lemmy.world]

Same. I thought it was some stupid art film hahaha

[qyron@sopuli.xyz]

Ei, quem não viu o Emmanuelle, tem de ver. É um clássico.

[trijste@lemmy.world]

Life long favourite!

[icastfist@programming.dev]

Mas hoje em dia não é que nem no início dos anos 2000, ter que ficar acordado 2, 3 da madrugada, na expectativa q passasse emanuelle e não uma merda de culto da fé

Em Portugal chegámos a ter uma rúbrica especial, num canal público, que tinha semanas temáticas de cinema. Começava às 22h. Teve uma semana dedicada ao cinema erótico.

Passaram a Emmanuelle, O Império dos Sentidos, A História de O (tenho de escrever o artigo em português), o Kamasutra (outro para escrever) e não me lembro do que falta.

Épico!
