re: Movies Your Parents Took You To See

Every Which Way But Loose - Pasqua Theater

I can still hear my dad laughing his arse off at that "gaaaahd daaaam ape"

My dad took my sister and I to see Mars Attacks! Think I was about 6 years old. Remember screaming when they took the head off the dog and put a human head on it. Good times.

Scarface. I was like 9 years old. It taught me proper chainsaw technique.

Not taken too but my grandparents bought us our first vcr. Along with the vcr the gave us, Laurel and Hardy, Shirley Temple, night of the living dead and Beverly Hills cop. We were 7, 4 & 3. They had no idea.Night of the living dead scarred us and Beverley hill cops got me in trouble at school a lot.

My mom would rent us movies on fridays, as did most parents, but she never watched them with us. She rented us faces of death because it was in the documentary section. We watched that while eating doggironi(hot dogs cut up and mixed with Mac and cheese - our favorite meal as kids) when the guys started hitting the monkey in the head with the little hammers and eating it’s brain my 5 yo brother and 6 yo sister nearly vomited.

Patton - I was in first grade and the very next morning I am trying to tie my shoe in the car on the way to school with my Mom and I say "Goddamn it can't tie my shoe". My parents warned me there was language in the movie I should not repeat. They just didn't tell me which language.

I remember going see Halloween in the 70's with my parents. We were freaking out and loving it at the same time.

The 1st Star Wars as my generation likes to call it. (A New Hope). (Bon Marche Twin)
Rocky (Bon Marche Twin)
Gone with the wind (Bon Marche Twin)
American Graffiti (Showtown Drive In)
Bambi (The Gordon)
Bed knobs and broomsticks (The Gordon)
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (The Gordon)
Song of the South (The Gordon)
Pinocchio (The Gordon)
Lady and the Tramp (The Gordon)
Creature from the black lagoon in 3D (Varsity)
Corvette Summer (some theatre in LaPlace)
Patton (LaPlace)


I’m sure there’s plenty more, but that’s all I can remember off hand.

My mom and sister went shopping at Cortana so my dad took me to see a fun little movie called Aliens when I was 8. I think I stared at my shoes for the first 30 minutes I was so scared. Then the action started and I was hooked. It was my favorite movie growing up.

Since I handled that well he took me to see pretty much all the R rated heavy hitters of the late 80's before I was a teen.
Robocop,Predator,Die Hard, etc...

I was 19 when I watched the Breaking Bad pilot handjob scene with my mother in the room. I still cringe about it

my dad took my two brothers and me to a Drive Inn to see "The War Wagon" a friend of his was the guy who ran the projector so we got to go up in that room to watch the movie, it was cool, there were film cuttings all over the floor from, I guess, the film breaking and having to be re-spliced, I still have a little frame of Elvis that was laying on the floor
