Amuse me internet: movie edition
May. 19th, 2011 10:22 amA post elsewhere brought this to mind and I need things to amuse me so that this day can be gotten through.
So people tell me, what movies were you either allowed to watch or watched without permission as a kid that you were waaaaaaaaaay too young for? (For whatever reason - too scary, nudity, what have you.)
My sisters took some kind of unholy delight in either letting me watch on video or taking me to wildly age-inappropriate (read: Rated R) movies. I don't really remember all of them at this point, but the four I do remember vividly were Do The Right Thing, National Lampoon's European Vacation, Stand By Me and Single White Female, which I suppose qualifies as Fisher Price My First Horror Movie. There was also that Halloween where they packed off my entire eighth grade class to a campground very close to the filming location of the original Friday the 13th, and someone had the fantastic idea of showing the entire class that movie the night we got there, lol. That was a fun week. It kinda saddens me that that sort of stunt would get a school/camp sued these days.
You?
