      I saw this the first time I actually got high, I was probably 15 or 16. I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard since, I was absolutely not prepared for Falcor going in.

      I disagree. More children’s movies need a good horror scene. Builds character.

      The boat scene from Willy Wonka is another good one.

      hahah same ! must have been 5 or so. I distinctly remember a woman entering the appartment/lab and Goldblum going “hi, whatsername” while all glued to the ceiling like a proto-fly. These two seconds have been chasing me for thirty years.

    The world premiere of the Michael Jackson’s Thriller video scared the fucking shit out of me. I ran out of the room screaming when MJ turned to his date and had yellow demon cat eyes. Man fuck that.

      This is what I was going to say too!

      I’m not sure if it was the premiere, but I do remember being called to come and see it - so it must have been some sort of event, or else they wouldn’t have called me in specially.

      Anyway, yeah, those eyes at the end. The rest didn’t bother me at all, but those eyes haunted me for years.

    Well I wasn’t too young, but Requiem For A Dream still haunts me as one of the most depressing movies ever made, it’s just…really sad and disturbing. I think I saw it when I was 18.

    Even Grave Of The Fireflies was more uplifting than that.

        I’m 50 and I’m still too young. That movie gives me the heebie jeebies every time, though Laurence Fishburne is the most cool-headed, logical character in any horror movie I’ve ever seen.

      One of my dad’s favorite movies. We would run through the den on the way to kitchen whenever he had it on. Definitely gave me nightmares at age 10 and for years afterwards.

        That guy spoke Latin before he went to Hell. You can hear him using it to make a pronouncement on the log just before things went bad.

      Sometimes I wonder if seeing the Masked Magician as a child was a stepping stone to my interest in women. I’ve rewatched clips of it as an adult. Why was it so horny? As a kid I remember cool magic tricks. But like… Why the industrial BDSM looking sets and constant comments about the women’s bodies? I guess that was just more “normal” then. But then again maybe it wasn’t, I remember hearing that Penn has a problem with that guy because he’s a creep? Who fucking knows.

    My dad was flicking through the movie channels and saw that “Pulp Fiction” was on, decided to watch it because he “heard it was pretty good”.

    It was already well underway, and I had the joy of watching the entire basement scene (iykyk) at 12 years old, beside my dad. Not sure why he didn’t turn it off sooner 🤷🏻

        I hadn’t seen that one–funny. Seriously, though, Jaws is about human greed/unethical behavior and relationships. I consider it a drama more than a creature feature.
