My personal one was the shining. I ended up watching it over 20 times before I was 12.

I'm spending a lot of time babysitting my nieces (9 & 11). I'm cis male and I would love to hear what women would answer or suggest for me to show them in a cool uncle role.

Spaceballs, The Matrix trilogy (I was born in 1996), What Dreams May Come (possibly; I was too young to realize that he was dead and in the afterlife for the entire thing)

Honestly I can't think of any from my childhood other than those that might have been "bad" for a kid, other than shows that went right over my head like Family Guy and the like. I know I wasn't allowed to watch South Park until I just decided to start watching it when I was around 13.

Other movies that I really liked as a kid (other than Spaceballs cause it was kinda like Star Wars, and The Matrix) that may be kinda suggestive were Mystery Men, Galaxy Quest, and Titan A.E. They may like Lord of The Rings (Arwen and Eowyn + magic and swords) and possibly Star Wars (Padmรฉ and Princess Leia, plus Ahsoka from Clone Wars and Hera from Rebels). Although I'm a man and had an older brother that liked a lot of this stuff, so I ended up liking a lot of it too, you may get better results from other people.

Fire in the Sky. Oh wait, maybe I shouldn't have. I haven't watched it again since because I was so traumatized as a kid watching it. Maybe I have the guts to watch it now decades later.

How old were you when you watched it?

[โ€“] trijste@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think I was six and saw it in the theatre. Some adult themes for sure.

Life long favourite!

I saw Midnight Cowboy when I was a little kid at the drive in theater with my parents. Didn't really understand it and I was unsettling, but I lived the song and Dustin Hoffman's "I'm walking here!"

Kiss of the Spider Woman. Back I the 80s our parents left us to fend for ourselves. I was around 10 years old and my parents were at a job site in northern Canada where the only channel was CBC. Definitely an intense movie, I'd say more than the Exorcism which aired another night. My brother missed the first, but had serious nightmares from the Exorcism.
