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

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.

Gremlins! Loved that movie as a kid haha 😂

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

I second this. It’s lightly gory and morbid but mostly a comedy. And a cult classic that will help them feel “in” when it’s referenced. But not too inappropriate for kids that age, in my opinion.

Oh they're way beyond that lmao. They both watched it 5 years ago and like it but they LOVE gremlins 2.

They've seen It and the newer Halloween movies. I want to show them stuff that will challenge them intellectually, without being too far over their heads. With minimal sexual content.
