I was just remembering the movies I NEVER should have watched with my parents. While there were several movies involving uncomfortable sex scenes, I think the worst for my Dad would be when we watched Highlander. Not for the sex, just that I was 7, and a girl, and asked "Dad, what's a b**w j*b?" (the word comes up when McCloud is being interrogated by police). Thinking back my father must have been mortified, and I know understand why my older brother got beat for laughing about it.
My oldest recently spent the summer with his father, who let all, ALL the kids watch Watchmen, because he is an idiot. The kids range in age from 3-13. Yet another example.
This is why I watch nothing with my kids without watching it first. People. please share......

The first R-rated movie I ever saw was "Porky's 2", which I saw on HBO at my uncle's house at a family gathering. My mother was outside talking with my aunts and grandmother, and I remember her coming inside just as one of the incredibly-talented young actresses in the movie was exposing her breasts, looking at my uncle (her younger brother) and asking "Do you really think this is an appropriate movie for the boys (me and my cousins, all of us under 14)?" She walked back out of the room, leaving my uncle with his jaw on the floor, at which point he promptly turned the channel to a baseball game.
The other horrible experience was when my father rented "The Toxic Avenger". Ten minutes in, after some pretty graphic violence and a naked woman riding a guy while yelling "F*ck me! F*ck me!" while my mother was walking through the room, the VCR went off and we were back in the car to the video store to rent something a little more appropriate for family viewing.

My husband had pretty much the same experience with Porky's and his mom. I did not see Toxic Avenget until a few years ago. Fabulous story. Thanks for sharing!!!!
I was also wondering, for those out there hitting around 30, was everyone's first breasts Beastmaster or Porky's? It seems to be the popular answer with those I know.

Years ago, my dad took me to see STREET FIGHTER when it first came out.
Over 10 years later, in some conversation with my mom about me doing something for my dad (I think I was a little ambivalent about doing whatever it was that needed to be done), she said "Well, he took you to see that Street Fighter movie, and he hated that movie....but he still did it for you."
The very fact that both of them remembered that (including the name of the movie) SO many years later immediately earned that particular task my utmost attention. :biggrin:

My mother and stepfather used to force me to watch horror movies at a very young age (3-4-5). Then they would laugh at me if I cried (not so much in an insulting way, but a dismissive way). That got old quick, so I learned to stop crying. But I also learned not to be scared by horror movies. So, it all worked out well in the end.
For some reason, though, Andromeda Strain affected me worse than the horror movies. It's the first movie that made me scared to go to sleep, not Rosemary's Baby, Exorcist, Carrie, etc.
Don't recall any others.

I think it was Beastmaster for me, or possibly Clash of the Titans. I seem to recall that the princess showed something in that. For that matter, how many people had to see Doc Hollywood after their friends told them about a certain scene?
Early on in the movie Repossed, a woman whips out her endowments. My mother glared at my dad and said something about its appropriateness. My dad's reaction "Well, it's a comedy, how was I suppossed to know." Mom ended up leaving the room and I watched the rest with dad.
I remember watching the end of Lethal Weapon 2 on video with my folks. My mother took some issue with all the dying and cursing, and my dad defended it "but they're police officers, honey."

I hate watching Bad Boys with my mother.
We both love the movie, but in between the parts she likes, it's the parts I like, and the things I like are the kind of things she believes should not exist in this world.
Suffice to say, I have to stifle a smile at my favorite bits, and then hear her keeling over in laughter or swooning at Will Smith's chest.
I saw Akira when I was four.
The 1976 King Kong. I was two years old. I was still living in Puerto Rico and my mom tells me that I started screaming 'Maricon' every time Kong came on scream. So, at 2, I knew homophobic curses and felt it was appropriate to scream them at a giant screen ape.
Excalibur - I was 7. Nothing like a rape scene and a sister seducing her brother to teach you about the birds and the bees.

I am so damn glad I did not read this at work. I laughed so hard it hurt. I'm cutting and pasting this in my book of random statements. My god that is funny. I had to explain what Maricon meant to my poor husband.
I was about that age when I saw Excalibur as well.
Thanks for making my day.

i rented 'Leeches' from the video store and watched it with my mother. you'd have to see it to understand my embarrassment but it's as homoerotic as it gets without guys boning other guys. scene after scene of those giant leeches trying to force themselves into someone's mouth or butt. the main characters are part of a male swimteam. so they spend all of the time unclothed; in and out of the locker room. throw in their homely nagging always fully clothed "girlfriends."

I saw Chasing Amy with my mom in the theatre. I was 14, and it was a mistake. Also, watching The Secret of My Success at 4 was awesome, because I always loved Michael J. Fox movies. That was something I don't regret, but it is worth mentioning that although I didn't know what it meant at the time, I knew from the context of the movie and the implications therein that Michael J. Fox having sex with his aunt was weird as hell.

I'm not sure if a magical disguise counts a rape or not. But the actress in that scene was the director's daughter, so it counts for extra creepy.

Aliens 3- I saw this when it came on video with my parents. It was during an argument between the prisoners dropping the F-Bomb like crazy that I yelled out "Well Fuck you too." at the television.......good things did not follow that. That was when I was about 8 or so.
Superbad My parents said they wanted to watch this, so I when I was at there house for a weekend I spent the most uncomfortable two hours of my life; as I am laughing at everything while my mom has a look of disgust on her face the entire time.

When I was about 12 I went camping with my family, as we did most summers. As usual, we went withfamily friends, and I brought a friend as well. 1 night we went to the nearby drive-in; my mother and the mother from the other family took me and my friend.
We watched Boyz in the Hood and Poison Ivy.

Years ago, there was this crappy softcore, Euro-Porn, atrocity that came on the Movie Channel fairly early in the evening. It was on, mainly because I was doing something else, and my Dad came in and started watching it. It was just graphic enough that I became uneasy, more so, because he didn't want me to change the channel. :confused:
A good friend of mine went to the movies with his Mom, years ago. They were too late to see the film they'd intended, and saw the only one that hadn't started instead.
The film was Spanking the Monkey (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111252/)! :eek:

I remember once in High Shcool, we were in Literature class having just finished reading the Scarlet Letter. The teacher rented the movie for us to watch one day when he had paperwork to do. So the kids in class ranging from 14 to 17 got to see Demi Moore going at it like a whore.
The teacher tried holding his hands in front of the screen for a minute, but then decides screw it and went back to his papers. That was a great class. Almost everything we read or watched had whores in it. Classic literature is dirty.

Maybe senior year of high school I had rented a bunch of movies with the intention of watching them alone that weekend. They were South Park The Movie, Requiem for A Dream, and Chasing Amy. Then my parents said they wanted to watch one of them too one night. So therein I had to figure out the lesser of the three to watch with the folks. It ended up being Chasing Amy and I had to pretend not to react to half the jokes. Though my dad didn't seem to care. Then again I would watch Benny Hill with him on PBS as a toddler and growing up.
Meanwhile, Clerks I saw at my Catholic High School. Somehow the Greek and Latin Club showed it and my friend in it invited me. Hadn't seen it before. Plus my friend hijacked the Sci Fi club to show anime, as in all of Evangelion including a VHS bootleg of the movie in which a teen female character is naked throughout the film in a godlike form and then grows large enough to hold the moon as the world ends and everyone dies with their souls flowing into her and then her hea... Actually, I can't describe it. Thankfully the faculty head of the club didn't stick around for that final showing, but he did walk in on some of the 'fanservice' during the show and never caught all the random philosophy and sociology bits.

I had a math teacher in high school that would let us get our final done the Tuesday before Christmas break, then let the class watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. With but one caveat: "No Sir Galahad scene".
It still is a great movie, even without the discussion of spankings and oral sex, of course, and parents couldn't complain too much.
Worst movie I ever saw with my parents was probably John Carpenter's "The Thing" when I was 8. Don't know why they didn't realize it was pure nightmare fuel.
And, I must confess, I saw parents with kids as young as four or five walking in alongside me to see Watchmen. I was thinking, "This ain't the kind of superhero movie they think it is."

I had the same thing happen when we went to see Freddy vs. Jason, and Saw. People were taking their 3-year-olds. Let me tell you, as a person who worked with children, and was party to taking down an 8-year-old who attacked a 10-year-old in the shower with a butcher knife (no lie), becuase she saw Jason do it. Watch what you let your f***ing kids watch. I also had two friends in 4th grade who saw Clan of the Cave Bear and would act out the doggie style scene at recess. They were both girls. It was pretty damn uncomfortable.

Ignorance is no excuse (not that I feel that is what you are saying :smile: ). All the press surrounding the thing had to do with Mr. Manhattan's shlong. You'd think they would have gotten a clue. That and it being R. My son watched it with his dad, and before they even started my 13-year-old was saying "Dad, I really don't think this is okay for the kids." Didn't stop them from watching it. It wasn't so much the nudity since if ya ain't seen it yet, maybe you should. It was scenes like the little girl underwear in the stove and the dogs fighting over her leg. I don't think that is okay for kids. Hell it disturbed me.

My parents let my baby sitter show me Child's Play 2 when I was 4. I was pretty much screwed up for life. Of course, by 'screwed up' I mean addicted. I started reading Stephen King when I was 6. I've yet to stab anyone. Jaws did keep me from learning to swim.
Of course, I had to cause a scene in a theater lobby to get them to let me in to Bride of Chucky. My mom wasn't happy about that. Lucky I didn't get killed over that. Good movie though.

I remember in high school 1 teacher polled the class about watching "Coming Home". We never ended up watching it, but not because any one objected. The only issue any one had was 2 girls who said it was kind of gross that they kissed right after the oral sex scene.

You were watching the ALF TV movie? :tongue:
When I was 10 and really into comics, my Dad tried to relate by sharing his childhood hero, Flash Gordon. So he went to the video store to see about renting a movie and somehow came back with Flesh Gordon. He started it and went off to prepare popcorn and drinks, so I got a good 20 minutes into the movie before he realized what was happening.
Needless to say, I crept back out in the middle of the night and smuggled it into my room to finish...the movie.
