But then, I also wouldn't sit them down in front of a mind-numbing teen comedy, either. They'd much prefer Abbott and Costello. Is that more to do with the copus nudity? C'mon gfanikf. There's no more impressionable thing on this planet than the mind of a five year old; they all need to have their imaginations stimulated whether they know it or not, not bludgeoned numb with representations of explicit violence and adult situations. All due respect to your parents, if the films are good enough to last until the kids are of age to see them, great. If not, then pfffttt, oh well ........

Pfft Compared to the news today, an American Werewolf in London is a fairy tale. Besides how many of us saw R rated movies as kids and turned out fine. I think Commando and Invasion USA are essential parts of a child's development. Actually I saw very little horror films as kid and mostly action films. It's also the 1980s a very odd and unique time in America's history
Also of course its MD's decision and I'm sure his kids will be fine for it...just a little deprived I'm just needling him a little with the good old CHFB charm I think it's very cool watching Uni flicks with your kids and getting them into the movies. It's like when my cousins son feel in love with the Godzilla trailer comp I had from VDK.
Though I am interested in my Uni as R-rated movies of the time thought. I think I'll do a separate thread on it
