I was WAY too young when I watched that movie.

I can’t remember the name of the movie but Long Dong Silver was in it and I was @ 10.  My feelings of inadequacy lasted a lifetime. 
 

I pretty much learned how to properly use curse words after sneaking into Every Which Way But Loose.

My old man took me at 7 years old to see Sudden Impact at the dollar theatre.  

The gang rape scene that opens the movie was bad but a worse scene was the front seat of his Caprice after i threw up orange soda, popcorn and hot tamales on the way home.

At what age will you or did you let your kids start watching R rated movies?  I posted earlier that I saw Porky's around 8.  For horror, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, and Friday the 13th were all seen at various spots before I turned 12, nobodies parents really cared what we rented at sleepovers.  I let me kids watch Army of Darkness really early, but I have no idea how that movie is R rated.  My daughter has no desire to watch a scary movie, but I let my son watch pre selected R rated horror movies at around 10

HBO in the mid 70s as a ninth grader.  Besides Clockwork Orange, watched this French movie.

Took French sophomore year and that worked out well.

when I was 12, I babysat for the neighbors two boys who were like 5 and 8.  Their base housing was less than a 2.5 minute walk from my house, but it involved walking over a small creek bridge to get to. so, close, but far enough away that anything I saw or witnessed in the housing wasnt going to be reported to my parents ( unless I royally fucked up).

  all I can remember is they were PITA kids to deal with, and their parents never fucking came home on time.  Mom let them know I could stay till 9p on a weekend ( not uncommon back then, I would guess they always went to dinner).  I remember having to call mom a few times at 9 telling her the "Smiths" werent home yet, and to report when I was finally OTW home.

anyway, turns out the Captain was a huge fan of horror movies on VHS, its how I first saw Red Dawn (kickass!!!), and a few other movies.   But one time the Smiths were like hyper late enough that they had already called saying they wouldnt be home till 10ish and the kids were already in bed by 730.

so I saw a VHS  titled My Bloody Valentine.  put it in... and was fascinated by the gratuitous nekkid sex scene... right up until Harry Walden skewers them with a pickax, and then guts them.

whole movie involved Harry tracking down and killing teens who are fucking with a pickax - with his signature move being him skewering the guys back through the girls stomach and then ripping their guts out of their chest.

uh......

yeah......

watched the whole thing, put it away, got home around 1015 and I didnt sleep until 10p the next night.... tried sleeping stayed up the entire night, was a zombie in church and the rest of Sunday, until I fell asleep from pure exhaustion... complete with pickax murder dreams.

I hate all horror films now as a result.

I saw A Clockwork Orange and Tommy (the rock opera by The Who) when I was 9.  My dad rented them for my older brother but didn't care that I watched them, too.  ACO was too weird to make much sense to me.  But the scene in Tommy where the boyfriend kills the presumed KIA father when he comes back from the war really fucked with my head for a few years, considering that my parents had separated the year before.

Parents took me to see Jaws at the old drive in on Ben White, which was near the intersection with I-35, iirc. Movie came out in 75(I think?) so I was probably about 9. The Towering Inferno was the second movie, which actually scared me more for some reason. I remember a scene where an elevator opens and the fire bursts in and burns up all the people in the elevator. 

 

Also saw Smokey and the Bandit for the first time at that drive in. 

 

Any of you old timers remember that drive in? @Armybrat ?

I was 10 years old and on a cruise with my folks back in 77.  My brother and I were going to watch Blazzing Saddles for a matinee l, but the cruise staff fucked up and was showing this violent porno flick called "Clay Pigeons " instead. We stayed for the whole thing and BS the next day. Good times.

My son has started seeing  R horror movies over the past couple of years or so and we let it slide, probably around 9sih. I've seen most of the ones he's watching anyway, so know when to skip over, or divert his attention. 

Return of the Living Dead is the big one I remember catching me and the wife off guard with him, but that movie made us laugh so much it didn't even register. He's 11 now but has seen a bunch of R stuff - exorcists series, Texas chainsaw series, just started the scream movies, etc.
