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

My personal one was the shining. I ended up watching it over 20 times before I was 12.

I'm spending a lot of time babysitting my nieces (9 & 11). I'm cis male and I would love to hear what women would answer or suggest for me to show them in a cool uncle role.

Spaceballs! When I was maybe 8 or 9.

I asked my mom "What's a 'virgin alarm' and what does it mean that it is programmed to go off before you do?" and she said ask me again in thirty years.

Reminds me, I forgot to ask her.

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!

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