Nope and ET definitely scarred me, I had trouble falling asleep for years and still feel bad for my kid self. Op knows her kid best. I know mine and they would not get scared of any of those movies.[/quote]

Yes, I was just going to post about ET and the Goonies. I was the only second grader who didn’t want to watch E.T., which was meant to be a treat. After ten minutes of hiding my face with my hands, my teachers let me sit in some office with a book. I was so much happier.

I would call to confirm the arrangements for students who don’t want to go to the movie.[/quote]

My dad let me watch Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom with him when I was 7 because it was PG. jeeeeesus, I had nightmares for a full year![/quote]

Omg, I was just coming into this thread to chime in with a similar story. I was 7, at a summer camp while my parents were traveling and I was staying with my grandmother. They showed us a movie at the camp, on the stage area of the Rec Hall where they closed the curtains and made it dark. It was Indiana Jones and the Temple of zdoom and I was petrified. I tried to leave, to go sit outside of the stage area but they wouldn’t let me. It was awful. I went home and had horrible nightmares and my grandmother yelled at me for being “bad” because I was crying and couldn’t sleep. It really did scar me and even now I don’t enjoy scary movies.

We took our sensitive 5yo to the Lion asking and he was freaked out and we left the theater during the very scary moments. A friend said Aladdin is even more intense. [/quote]
