Films for a six year old boy to watch

[Minnie_the_Minx]

when I was scared of something in a movie as a kid, I would watch it from behind the couch, or hide behind a pillow.
when I watched The Exorcist for the first time in my early 20's, I was so scared I went and watched it outside through the big picture window in the living room.

I think I watched that when I was 17 and then watched it a few more times to try to figure out why it was meant to be scary

 

[Orang Utan]

shoulda watched thunderpants, by the way.

He would have loved that. Dunno why, but he finds 'pumping' hilarious

Only Catholics find The Exorcist scary. If you're not religious, it just looks silly.

that's because it's hilarious.

totally, farting unites humanity more than workers' solidarity

if i were at the gallows and the hangman farted loudly, for a moment we would be united in our laughter. then i would remember he was going to kill me, cry like a baby and soil myself.

The Princess Bride if it's not already been mentioned.

you'd probably be farting as you soiled yourself, bringing hilarity to the hangman AND the crowd.
oh god! <parp> oh no <frrrrttt> please no <wappawappawapppa>

The Princess Bride if it's not already been mentioned.

It's been mentioned at least twice.

BTW seeing as the boy finds farting so funny, try the BFG next time.

 

[Orang Utan]

thunderpants is the one though. it's ace.

Awww yeh, the BFG was actually my favourite film as a wee child. My dad used to pretend he was the Bone Cruncher, scared the shit right out of me!

I found it terrifying and was raised very far from Catholic.

 

[discokermit]

thunderpants is way better than the bfg.

you're just a wimp then

 

[N_igma]

I was 12 when The Exorcist was unbanned and watched it at this age, I thought it was funny as fuck to be honest.

 

[Miss Caphat]

you're just a wimp then

this is true.
but there are different types of wimps though. I was never scared of the dark or the woods or bears or ax murderers etc. Probably because I didn't watch enough horror movies.

 

[Orang Utan]

indeed, i was never scared of things that i should be, just irrational weird stuff. fat fingers still make me quake.

what is fat fingers?

 

[Orang Utan]

what is fat fingers?

fingers that are fat.

 

[Miss Caphat]

fingers that are fat.

ok.

I was scared of both actual noses and the word nose (actually they made me feel nauseous more than scared) so I suppose I can't judge

 

[Orang Utan]

 

[Miss Caphat]

aaaaaaaaahhhhhh! wtf!

*takes bite*

oh well, they're delicious anyway.

what is wrong with his thumb?

 

[Orang Utan]

it's not a sausage

 

[Miss Caphat]

it's not a sausage

well what is it then?

 

[Orang Utan]

well what is it then?

a thumb

 

[Miss Caphat]

no, but it has a weird droopy under-layer.

 

[Iguana]

I found it terrifying and was raised very far from Catholic.

Whereas I was raised Catholic and found it boring apart from the parts where it was unintentionally hilarious. I saw it at the cinema for the 90s re-release, the Fuck Jesus with the Crucifix scene had the whole place pissing themselves with laughter.

 

[Reno]

My first watching of The Exorcist was similar. Saw it at a re-release in the late 70s and everybody found the swearing hilarious.

The Exorcist III however scared me like no film I'd seen before, especially the scene in the hospital corridor.
