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

Way of the Gun

Mean Guns

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.

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!"

OG Barbenheimer

[perogiboi@lemmy.ca]

Pink Flamingos.

What the fuck.

[bemorecareful@lemmy.world]

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.

[hugin@lemmy.world]

I wasn't old enough but am glad I saw it (kinda). What is old enough for that movie anyway? Has anybody lived that long?

[hamburgers@lemmy.world]

That's a good change. That's a gooood change.

[beliquititious@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I saw Event Horizon on my 13th birthday in theaters with some of my friends.

[trijste@lemmy.world]

A fish called Wanda

[tehbamski@lemmy.world]

Cheesus Ricest dude! I watched it as a 30 something year old and I felt disturbed with scenes in the third act.

Now you have to fill us in. Did you have nightmares and for how long?

[tehbamski@lemmy.world]

How old were you when you watched it?

[braininabox@lemmy.ml]

Damn, that would have been a hell of film at that age.

[braininabox@lemmy.ml]

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

[surp@lemmy.world]

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