What movie do you regret watching with your parents/kids?

[jlmoor]

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.

Somewhat related:

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.

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.

I was an adult at the time when I watched Wild Things with my mother. Its really hard to enjoy the girl on girl scenes in front of your mom.
