Gremlins
Lol, my parents for some completely out of character reason I'll never understand took me to see Gremlins 2 when I was 8. This was not a request from me, Im pretty sure I had never heard of Grenlins before. I loved it, but I'm not sure it didn't traumatize me.
The weirdest thing, I didn't find out that this and Poltergeist weren't kids movies until highschool. It's been a bit of a wild ride since because I keep running into movies that aren't as pg as I remember.
I recently showed this movie to someone and I didn’t remember it being that scary/gory! This is some crazy PG movie lol
Pretty sure Gremlins caused the creation of a new certification in the US. Too many complaints about it being PG.
Yep, it and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! The first PG-13 movie was Red Dawn, which would probably be R today.
You know those movies as a young kid that you watch over and over? This was mine. From like 7 to 12 I would have these recurring dreams of a school with a flag in front and then going the stairs into a basement. I wondered where the hell it was coming from, then I watched the intro to the movie again in my 20s.
