[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The movies I can't wait to introduce to my little one are the Back to the Future trilogy.  The first one came out when I was 8 and I saw it in a packed movie theater.

Oh, and I want to show her Ghostbusters, but she's a fraidy cat.[/quote]

Ok, I would not let my 8 year watch this! The thing about pretty much all the PG movies from the 80's and 90's is that they are what we would call an intense PG-13 now. And the PG-13s from back then are like R-rated movies now--so off the table for any but the most mature thinking teen. I wouldn't want to sit through that scene of Sigourney Weaver writhing around orgasmically with my 8 yo DD, thanks, AWKWARD.[/quote]

I'm the PP - I said I [i]personally[/i] saw the first Back to the Future at 8.  I saw Ghostbusters in the theater at 7.  I also saw Return of the Jedi when I was 6.

Somehow, I came out the other side as a normal, well adjusted human being.

My daughter who is 6 probably cannot handle these movies right now.  I had her watch a couple minutes of Return of the Jedi with me when it was on TV a few months back and she HATED it.  And no way in HELL would I take her to see the current crop of super hero movies that some people think are OK for their kids.

But, I think we underestimate what our kids can handle sometimes...
