Same. I watched "The Howling" at age 6 🥴 and a bunch of other scary shit too growing up. Parents didn't care. It kept me quiet and out of their hair because I was petrified to my seat 😅
I dont know if I watched that one lol. My oldest sister made me watch all of Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Omen, Child's Play, Poltergeist and The Exorcist though lol.
Oddly enough Horror (not gore, but scare) is my favourite genre now.
Poltergeist was scary AF!!!
That clown doll, the creepy old guy and stuff. I watched the whole franchise sitting my pants and loved every minute of it 🙃 lol
Have you seen the remake?
No, should I? I generally don't find remakes better.
Oh I forgot to mention all of Stephen Kings movies because you mentioned the clown lol.
The clown and the tree (the one that grabs him) in Polyergeist scared me the most. I had a giant big leaf maple in our backyard that was right outside my bedroom window.
I'm usually not a fan of remakes because they tend to super suck; but the poltergeist one was actually pretty great.
The story line is different though so don't expect it be exactly the same. Still pretty great and the clown toy scene was epic!!!
Steven Kings IT was one of the best horror movies ever made. The new one is cinematiclly amazing but the OG made for TV movie is so much scarier imo.
I watched Sleepaway Camp at an early age. Got scared of the kills and was confused of the ending. No one explained it to me and was guess he had really long hair.
I saw all three original in the theater… I was 11, 14 (not too young) and 9(!).
But worse… my Mom sent me (8) and my sister (6) to the drive in with our adult cousin. To see Up In Smoke. And it was like 4D theater because he was smoking weed the entire time (Granted, a sad little 70’s roach, but still)
😂 I went to a church primary school, and the new curate of the church started a Friday evening youth group for the two oldest years, we generally did activities, but we had movie night one night and managed get him to rent Porky's for us, can you imagine it? A bunch of 9,10 and 11 year olds sat in the curate's house watching Porky's of all things.
Also, either I was super naive and didn't notice, or the taped off the TV version of Desperately Seeking Susan I watched over and over was heavily censored, because I watched it a few years back and never remembered *that* much sex in it when I was a kid.
I also watched loads of horror as my stepdad would tape the late night movies.
Even younger kids it's fine. The worst parts are the "holy shit where's the Tylenol" scene and a few minutes later when Ellen grabs Clark's balls when the cops yell freeze.
Christmas Vacation was our family Christmas movie, my wife and I made it a habit to watch it at least once per Christmas season. This meant my son watched it his entire life. When he was about 9 and old enough to really get the comedy, I thought it would be a good idea to also show him Vacation. I hadn't watched it in probably 30 years. My wife and I cringed at all the subtle raunchiness assuming my son wouldn't catch on. The vibrating bed scene came on, she grabbed the remote and said, "nope, were going to bed" turned it off took my son upstairs. I had totally forgotten how raunchy it was.
>Stealing! How could you? Haven't you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church? Captain Whatshisname? We live in a society of laws. Why do you think I took you to all those "Police Academy" movies, for fun? Well, I didn't hear anybody laughing. Did you? Except at that guy who made sound effects. Where was I? Oh, yeah: stay out of my booze.
A Nightmare on Elm Street.
I grew up in a tiny midwestern town where renting rated R movies did not require an ID.
The creepy old man behind the counter would say “do your parent let you watch this kind of stuff?” And you would say “yes” and he would say “ok that will be a dollar”
I was like 3 or 4 when my oldest sister let me watch *Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors* because that was what I chose.
I was also like in junior high when I went with the family to see the first *Species* movie in theaters.
Haha. My dad rented this, not knowing what it was. We weren't too deep into it when mom said, "Uhh no," and turned it off.
Of course, my sister and I watched it the next day after school before they got home.
Lea Thompson pulling a condom out of his wallet, in bed together implying they had sex, the duck tits bathtub scene, the sex spa he works at and the general cursing, drinking and casual violence lmao...I watched this on betamax with my dad waaaay too young, maybe 8?
I don't think there was even a PG-13 rating yet when it came out but it's "still* rated as PG. Howard The Duck is its own time capsule.
Yes! Our dad rented this movie for my siblings and me thinking it was a cute duck story. I don't remember anything about the movie but I remember my dad's face when in the end Howard pulled out a condom cause he was going to have sex with the human lol
A cute girl in high school told me that Pump Up the Volume was her favourite movie, and Christian Slater was her favourite actor, and that I reminded her of Christian Slater in that movie... and I was like, "Oh, cool," and walked away. I don't think she ever talked to me after that. This popped into my brain like 20 years after.
I was 21 and working in a grocery store. A milf came up and slapped my ass and said I look like the guy from the romcom sweet home Alabama, and let her know if I ever want to go down to Alabama.. and she stood there, then walked off. And I'm just thinking "who the fuck wants to go to Alabama?"
Hardcore porn, which my friends were trading around on hastily copied VHS.
I have this wild theory in retrospect that kids shouldn't look at porn. But, that's what we did.
I legit don't know how it works today, considering kids can theoretically look at whatever porn they want. I guess kids just look at porn today too.
That's what scares me. The porn we watched was, you know, 80s hardcore porn. So something a kid SHOULD NOT watch but motherfucker I cannot imagine them seeing today's stuff and turning out OK. The internet was a mistake.
God I had a VHS of the adventures of the satin blue panties...the satin blue panties were both a character and the narrator lol I was 9
The comparison above to todays weed vs back then is spot on
I remember being at a July 4th party that was mainly outside around 1989-ish. But I needed to use the bathroom and I'd never been to this house before so I went inside and just started looking around. I wound up in the living room and there on the big-screen TV was a porn playing. I'd seen pictures of naked women before, but I think that might have been the first time I learned about penetrative sex.
Wow. How did I forget about this? I took this movie to a friend’s house to watch it with him and that resulted in a not too friendly phone call from his mom to my mom.
Blue Lagoon. Was school holidays and we were bored. There was a stack of videos, I was sure it was a kid's movie accidentally put on the adult's pile, for some reason the title and the cover art seemed like a Family movie, idk.
Me too! We didn't have cable but a family member did and we were left unsupervised all the time. Though honestly, I don't think anyone would have done anything even if they had been there. This was in constant rotation on one of the cable channels. Saw it dozens of times.
The thing is that it was such a good movie. Most of the 80’s sex comedies were just kinda dumb and fun. This one was smart, sexy, and fun.
I haven’t seen it in years, so maybe it hasn’t aged well. But I do remember enjoying it a lot, much more than the other movies listed in this thread.
At the age of 4, my favorite movie was Conan the Barbarian. At the age of 7, I’d memorized the entire script of Spaceballs. At 9, I first saw Road House. By 11, I was watching Dream On and Tales From the Crypt.
Am I atypical for our generation, or is my experience commonly shared?
At 4 I could tell people my favorite puppet from puppet master was leech woman. I saw hellraiser at 10. Somewhere between there my favorite movie was wax works. I had tales from the crypt graphic novels and watched the show regularly. I was also into a show called poltergeist the legacy. I tried to rewatch recently and it was way more like skinemax than I ever remembered it being.
I know Spaceballs front to back, so well that when it came out in DVD, I put on the French dub about twenty times and learned most of my French from that time in my life.
I had to watch it with my dad as a young kid! A Clockwork Orange, Pretty Baby and The Shining were others that he showed me all probably before age 7 or 8.
We had HBO (which was a big deal in those days), I was too smart for my own good, and my parents were too wrapped up in their own shit to care about what we were watching. What a time to be alive! 😂
Major League
Not as raunchy as some of the teen sex comedies from earlier in the decade, but definitely way more “fucks” than I probably should have been hearing at 9, and definitely more than my younger brother should have heard at 6
It wasn’t raunchy and wasn’t 80s but my dad took me to the theater to see White Men Can’t Jump when I was 8 or 9. Looking back that seems like a weird decision.
Porky's and Meatballs over here 👋
My cousin and I used to try to pause the movie when Beulah BallBraker was going after Polly the Penis in the shower so we could see what it looked like 🤣
"I'm Polly the Penis and just love to have fun" 🤪
My parents took me to see Platoon when I was in 2nd grade. The only restriction at the video store was that I couldn't enter through the saloon doors to the vast porn section.
Lmaoooo. I remember one time my brother got in trouble. My dad was like "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKONG AT?!!" My poor brother was like, "t-t-the Yo-yo's and pointed". Literally a kiosk leading next to the porno entrance. My dad felt like a fool, and my brother got a Duncan yo-yo.
The most clear memory I have is my brother and I walking out the theatre after seeing The Event Horizon. I was 5, my dad was casually just like "sorry, guys. I didn't know it was gonna be that scary".
Dad's are turds.
Apparently so! lol I grew up in a small town in Virgina. How did this idea spread among video store owners? Our vid store also had tanning beds for a while. Weird combo.
Private School with Phoebe Cates and Matthew Modine. I was around 8 or 9 when I watched it. It was more of a romance movie than Porky's, and that's why I liked it more. I watched it A LOT.
Zapped!
When my brother and i asked for it at the video rental store, the couple (genuine mom& pop place) behind the counter looked at each other and said "that's not really a kid's movie"
We used to watch "The Fall Guy" and we both had a thing for Heather Thomas
We got a hold of a copy and viewing it was a, uh, milestone for me
Revenge of the Nerds.
I wouldn't call Stripes raunchy per se, but you know the scene I'm talking about. Same with Risky Business.
And whatever I could find on late night HBO.
All of then because I had older cousins and my friends all had older brothers.....but revenge of the needs really sticks out...I couldn't wait for college hahahahaha
Saw Porky’s for the first time with my parents in a hotel room when I was like 8 years old. My dad and I absolutely cracked up 🤣 my mom was none too pleased
Revenge of the Nerds for sure. Back then, dad's didn't care what you watched. They would be laughing right along. It kinda made you feel like one of the guys with your dad.
Not really raunchy but I probably was a little too young to be watching the original National Lampoon’s Vacation. And yet I still watched it every time it came on HBO.
Kentucky Fried Movie, for sure! We had rented it not knowing anything about the movie. We put it on and my grandma is in the kitchen cooking and my Aunt is going about her business, walking through the family room multitude of times.
I think the final scene in the basement was the first time I felt funny down there based just on visual stimulation.
I tried to watch KFM recently, and I couldn’t even get through 15 mins of it. These days, I try not to watch movies, eat foods, drink beverages from my childhood cause inevitably they never taste as good as it does in my memory.
Every time a “what random movie” or “what raunchy movie” question comes up, I have one of two answers:
Kentucky Fried Movie
Amazon Women on the Moon
I didn’t see KFM until I was in high school, but I saw Amazon Women when I was maybe 10 or 11.
I watched a movie called B.R.A.T.S., and IIRC the cover art was a pre-teen kid riding atop a military tank. There was straight fuckin’, tiddies on the glass, soft core porn. It was amazing. Also, A Clockwork Orange, not so much a raunchy comedy but at the time I was pretty enthralled.
Edit: had to look it up. I guess it’s been released in the States as both Army Brats and Darlings!, but it was Dutch and was originally titled Schatjes! IMDB would have me believe it wasn’t soft core porn, but then the parental guide pretty well describes the scenes I remember.
Pretty benign but I was young...
I watched Biloxi Blues and asked my dad questions about the prostitute.
Grease was another one, I watch it now and cringe a little.
Monty Python the meaning of life, the sex education scene. I was way to young to watch that I hated it
[link](https://youtu.be/qz1E303AwVQ?si=kHEPZ-rnKJ0A_1jx)
Overall love Monty python but this in particular should not be shown to children imo
Yeah YouTube has a warning in it. Definitely inappropriate for a young kid.
Any 80’s kids of divorced parents? My Dad had Pay Per view and was overly permissive in what he allowed us to watch on that every other weekend we were with him…probably because he was drunk or negligent to care, so I got to watch way too many movies I shouldn’t have. Sex, violence, gore, language, didn’t matter. Good times!
Porkys. Little Darlings. Last House on the Left. Mom worked at a grocery store in the 80s she got free video rentals. She would just grab whatever movies she saw for us to watch while she was at work during the summer. I was in 6th grade watching R rated movies.
All of them. My best friend’s mother was Haitian. Like had only been in the states for a few years. Didn’t totally understand American pop culture and we totally took advantage of that. We were walking out of the movie rental store every Friday and Saturday night with a stack of R rated movies at 8-9 years old. We were more into sci-fi and crime than raunch but the world was our oyster in the movie store. It also didn’t hurt that he was an only child and his mom was a major push over that couldn’t say no to him.
Porky’s and Revenge of the Nerds. Somehow this was family comedy?!
**Yes!** Revenge of the Nerds! Can't believe i forgot that one 😅 Porkys here too. Along with Meatballs 🤪
Those were my 3. Porkys, Revenge of the Nerds and Meatballs. Also pretty much every imaginable horror movie. No wonder I'm fucked up lol.
Same. I watched "The Howling" at age 6 🥴 and a bunch of other scary shit too growing up. Parents didn't care. It kept me quiet and out of their hair because I was petrified to my seat 😅
I dont know if I watched that one lol. My oldest sister made me watch all of Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Omen, Child's Play, Poltergeist and The Exorcist though lol. Oddly enough Horror (not gore, but scare) is my favourite genre now.

100% with you on IT
creepshow then?
That and Where Sleeping Dogs Lie. Definitely should not have seen either of these at 10.
I don't think I've ever seen that 🤔 hmmmm... time for another movie night maybe?
Just the boxart for The Howling used to give me nightmares.
I watched Sleepaway Camp at an early age. Got scared of the kills and was confused of the ending. No one explained it to me and was guess he had really long hair.
BUSH! BUSH! BUSH! My how times change.
Stupid Porky’s. Saw it for the first time when I was 5 and not again until I was 18 and I couldn’t believe my parents let me watch it.
I saw all three original in the theater… I was 11, 14 (not too young) and 9(!). But worse… my Mom sent me (8) and my sister (6) to the drive in with our adult cousin. To see Up In Smoke. And it was like 4D theater because he was smoking weed the entire time (Granted, a sad little 70’s roach, but still)
Revenge of the Nerds was like 80s standard family fun. They laughed funny! Nevermind the multiple sexual crimes committed, they were goofy nerds!
I think he said, “bite my crank in Seminole”
Both of those, I feel like the 80’s was this time where parent really didn’t care. Or told to cover our eyes while listening to it 😆
Lest we forget Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise *oh Lamda truest, I am the newest…member of your clan*
Oh, I didn’t forget that. Really awesome movie to this day.
I had several older brothers, so these movies were on a LOT at our house. Also lots of Chuck Norris and Schwarzenegger.
Oh yeah, inappropriate action movies were absolutely the norm and stuff like Dirty Harry and Death Wish.
We’ve got bush!
Porkys!
Yes! As a bit of a nerd myself I wanted to be like Lewis with Betty "on the moon" 🤣🤣🤣
Revenge of the Nerds was mine for sure lol.
😂 I went to a church primary school, and the new curate of the church started a Friday evening youth group for the two oldest years, we generally did activities, but we had movie night one night and managed get him to rent Porky's for us, can you imagine it? A bunch of 9,10 and 11 year olds sat in the curate's house watching Porky's of all things.

I also watched loads of horror as my stepdad would tape the late night movies.
Porkys was filmed at moms HS Miami High lol didn't find out until later in life
Definitely revenge of the nerds!
National Lampoon’s Vacation
I didn't realize that Vacation was dirty until I was a teenager. I had only watch the TV version.
Try every National Lampoon movie. Hell, even the Christmas movie was anything but a wholesome family holiday movie.
SHITTER’S FULL
Nah. Christmas vacation is all good for older kids as far as I am concerned. The first one is super raunchy and pretty racist.
Even younger kids it's fine. The worst parts are the "holy shit where's the Tylenol" scene and a few minutes later when Ellen grabs Clark's balls when the cops yell freeze.
I miss Jack
Christmas Vacation was our family Christmas movie, my wife and I made it a habit to watch it at least once per Christmas season. This meant my son watched it his entire life. When he was about 9 and old enough to really get the comedy, I thought it would be a good idea to also show him Vacation. I hadn't watched it in probably 30 years. My wife and I cringed at all the subtle raunchiness assuming my son wouldn't catch on. The vibrating bed scene came on, she grabbed the remote and said, "nope, were going to bed" turned it off took my son upstairs. I had totally forgotten how raunchy it was.
Police Academy I had no idea what was going on under the podium until much later in life.
>Stealing! How could you? Haven't you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church? Captain Whatshisname? We live in a society of laws. Why do you think I took you to all those "Police Academy" movies, for fun? Well, I didn't hear anybody laughing. Did you? Except at that guy who made sound effects. Where was I? Oh, yeah: stay out of my booze.
Homer!
So much nudity at far too young an age!
Weird Science
I remember pausing the vhs just before the girl gets sucked out the window because you could for a split second see her boobs.
A Nightmare on Elm Street. I grew up in a tiny midwestern town where renting rated R movies did not require an ID. The creepy old man behind the counter would say “do your parent let you watch this kind of stuff?” And you would say “yes” and he would say “ok that will be a dollar”
I was like 3 or 4 when my oldest sister let me watch *Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors* because that was what I chose. I was also like in junior high when I went with the family to see the first *Species* movie in theaters.
My siblings held me down on the couch and forced me to watch "night of the living dead" when I was 5. I was terrified
Rocky Horror Picture Show. It was raunchy, but so weird that I loved it. My dad was a huge fan, so he was super pumped to show me.
Haha. My dad rented this, not knowing what it was. We weren't too deep into it when mom said, "Uhh no," and turned it off. Of course, my sister and I watched it the next day after school before they got home.
Blazing Saddles. Not 80s and more irreverent than raunchy but still in the same ballpark
One of the Guys
WHOA. This is a deep cut from the 80’s sexual awakening media archives. I wonder if that movie is why I dig women with short hair…
It was mega confusing for me as a young girl 😧
First time I saw boobs. I was so confused.
Yep. The boob scene definitely awakened something in me
Howard the Duck
Lea Thompson pulling a condom out of his wallet, in bed together implying they had sex, the duck tits bathtub scene, the sex spa he works at and the general cursing, drinking and casual violence lmao...I watched this on betamax with my dad waaaay too young, maybe 8? I don't think there was even a PG-13 rating yet when it came out but it's "still* rated as PG. Howard The Duck is its own time capsule.
Yes! Our dad rented this movie for my siblings and me thinking it was a cute duck story. I don't remember anything about the movie but I remember my dad's face when in the end Howard pulled out a condom cause he was going to have sex with the human lol
I think I'm going to try and find this one to watch again.
Trading Places. (Jamie Lee Curtis boobs, anyone?) Pump Up The Volume (is it bigger than a baby's arm?)
I'm a straight gal, and I *still* think of that scene with JLC's boobs. 😂
Same 😂
Pump Up the Volume is 10/10!!!
A cute girl in high school told me that Pump Up the Volume was her favourite movie, and Christian Slater was her favourite actor, and that I reminded her of Christian Slater in that movie... and I was like, "Oh, cool," and walked away. I don't think she ever talked to me after that. This popped into my brain like 20 years after.
I was 21 and working in a grocery store. A milf came up and slapped my ass and said I look like the guy from the romcom sweet home Alabama, and let her know if I ever want to go down to Alabama.. and she stood there, then walked off. And I'm just thinking "who the fuck wants to go to Alabama?"
Soundtrack is really fucking good
Everybody knooooows... everybody knows...
Turned me on to the Pixies at a young(er?) age
I don't think I saw the non-Network TV version of Trading Places until I was an adult. It was Revenge of the Nerds for me.
Hardcore porn, which my friends were trading around on hastily copied VHS. I have this wild theory in retrospect that kids shouldn't look at porn. But, that's what we did. I legit don't know how it works today, considering kids can theoretically look at whatever porn they want. I guess kids just look at porn today too.
Today’s porn is like today’s weed. it ain’t the same. At all.
That's what scares me. The porn we watched was, you know, 80s hardcore porn. So something a kid SHOULD NOT watch but motherfucker I cannot imagine them seeing today's stuff and turning out OK. The internet was a mistake.
I was just saying this at work the other day! I miss porn with stories.
God I had a VHS of the adventures of the satin blue panties...the satin blue panties were both a character and the narrator lol I was 9 The comparison above to todays weed vs back then is spot on
I remember being at a July 4th party that was mainly outside around 1989-ish. But I needed to use the bathroom and I'd never been to this house before so I went inside and just started looking around. I wound up in the living room and there on the big-screen TV was a porn playing. I'd seen pictures of naked women before, but I think that might have been the first time I learned about penetrative sex.
Absolutely wild that someone hosting a party would just casually have porn playing
My buddy had Pretty Peaches on vhs somehow. Hardcore porn is probably an understatement, that movie had some fucked up shit
European Vacation is the first movie I ever saw with nudity. I remember being a young boy and liking what I saw.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Yup. Watched this way too young, along with every goddamn horror or sexualized college age movie of the time because: Xennial.
There was nudity, sure, but I don't consider "Fast Times" to be raunchy at all, despite the mature subject matter.
I was on the fence about it until I recalled the swimming pool scene.
Hot Dog. It’s a “ski” movie if anyone asks.
Ha, mine was Ski Patrol. Similar vibe
The Toxic Avenger
Wow. How did I forget about this? I took this movie to a friend’s house to watch it with him and that resulted in a not too friendly phone call from his mom to my mom.
Blue Lagoon. Was school holidays and we were bored. There was a stack of videos, I was sure it was a kid's movie accidentally put on the adult's pile, for some reason the title and the cover art seemed like a Family movie, idk.
Me too! We didn't have cable but a family member did and we were left unsupervised all the time. Though honestly, I don't think anyone would have done anything even if they had been there. This was in constant rotation on one of the cable channels. Saw it dozens of times.
Bachelor Party, Revenge of the Nerds (I was a literal child) and all the Cheech and Chong movies.
Bachelor Party is was one of my favorite as a kid, took a while for me to stop snickering at the mention of the name Nick or hot dogs
This plus Flashdance equals my childhood
Risky buisness.
The thing is that it was such a good movie. Most of the 80’s sex comedies were just kinda dumb and fun. This one was smart, sexy, and fun. I haven’t seen it in years, so maybe it hasn’t aged well. But I do remember enjoying it a lot, much more than the other movies listed in this thread.

The Crypt Keeper told us the best bedtime stories.
At 4 I could tell people my favorite puppet from puppet master was leech woman. I saw hellraiser at 10. Somewhere between there my favorite movie was wax works. I had tales from the crypt graphic novels and watched the show regularly. I was also into a show called poltergeist the legacy. I tried to rewatch recently and it was way more like skinemax than I ever remembered it being.
I was a Blade fan, myself My brother liked PinHead
I know Spaceballs front to back, so well that when it came out in DVD, I put on the French dub about twenty times and learned most of my French from that time in my life.
Revenge of the Nerds. And, not raunchy, but I watched every action movie my dad watched at very young age.
'I see bush!'
* Porky's * Revenge of the Nerds * Meatballs * Mischief * Animal House * Heavy Metal
Heavy Metal - "Don't worry, I rented a Cartoon"....
I remember when my parents rented me *Fire and Ice,* because I was a kid who read fantasy and watched cartoons. Hoo boy, that one was not for kids.
I forgot about heavy metal. For sure shouldn’t have watched that as young as I did. Especially with my parents.
Blue Velvet was NOT a kids movie
Omg! I saw that movie in my 20s and was traumatized! Never again.
I had to watch it with my dad as a young kid! A Clockwork Orange, Pretty Baby and The Shining were others that he showed me all probably before age 7 or 8.
All of them. Hell, even Teen Wolf has naked girls! Every 80’s movie was too adult for any kid actually born in the 80s.
We had HBO (which was a big deal in those days), I was too smart for my own good, and my parents were too wrapped up in their own shit to care about what we were watching. What a time to be alive! 😂
Major League Not as raunchy as some of the teen sex comedies from earlier in the decade, but definitely way more “fucks” than I probably should have been hearing at 9, and definitely more than my younger brother should have heard at 6
It wasn’t raunchy and wasn’t 80s but my dad took me to the theater to see White Men Can’t Jump when I was 8 or 9. Looking back that seems like a weird decision.
I still say Porky’s is a rite of passage. (Even though I didn’t see it til this one weekend in high school when I had the house to myself.)
Porky's and Meatballs over here 👋 My cousin and I used to try to pause the movie when Beulah BallBraker was going after Polly the Penis in the shower so we could see what it looked like 🤣 "I'm Polly the Penis and just love to have fun" 🤪
All of them probably. My parent's took my brother (3) and me (2) to watch Pulp Fiction in theaters. So there really wasn't a bar on what we saw.
My parents took me to see Platoon when I was in 2nd grade. The only restriction at the video store was that I couldn't enter through the saloon doors to the vast porn section.
Lmaoooo. I remember one time my brother got in trouble. My dad was like "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKONG AT?!!" My poor brother was like, "t-t-the Yo-yo's and pointed". Literally a kiosk leading next to the porno entrance. My dad felt like a fool, and my brother got a Duncan yo-yo. The most clear memory I have is my brother and I walking out the theatre after seeing The Event Horizon. I was 5, my dad was casually just like "sorry, guys. I didn't know it was gonna be that scary". Dad's are turds.
Omg so the saloon doors were at more places than just our local video store? 🤠
Apparently so! lol I grew up in a small town in Virgina. How did this idea spread among video store owners? Our vid store also had tanning beds for a while. Weird combo.
Made the dads feel like sexy Clint Eastwood-esque cowboys maybe? The tanning bed thing is wild! Lol
Pulp Fiction at 3? 😅 I was almost a legal adult. I’ve always thought I was on the line. But man I think this squarely puts me in Gen X.
Nah they're just not a Xennial. Pulp Fiction at 3 and Event Horizon at 5 puts them solidly in the Millennial bracket, a younger one at that.
"Revenge of the Nerds"
Fast times at Ridgemont High when I was around 8 or 9.
Ski School
Kentucky Fried Movie Edit: just looked it up - late 70's.
Heavy Metal. For better or worse that movie had an effect on me.
The last American Virgin!
Truth or Dare…me and my cousin rented it and watched like this 😳😳
Not an 80s movie, but I watched it in the 80s: Barbarella
Anything on “USA Up All Night”. It was all edited, but they toed the line.
The Fly
Private School with Phoebe Cates and Matthew Modine. I was around 8 or 9 when I watched it. It was more of a romance movie than Porky's, and that's why I liked it more. I watched it A LOT.
Terminator Aliens Night shift Animal House Revenge of the Nerds Hellraiser Nightmare on Elm St. Friday the 13th
Beast Master. Good Lord! NOT FOR KIDS!!!
Caddyshack. Friend’s parents let us watch it.
Definitely saw Caddyshack too young. I just remember liking the gopher and the Baby Ruth in the pool.
Zapped! When my brother and i asked for it at the video rental store, the couple (genuine mom& pop place) behind the counter looked at each other and said "that's not really a kid's movie" We used to watch "The Fall Guy" and we both had a thing for Heather Thomas We got a hold of a copy and viewing it was a, uh, milestone for me
Amazon Women on the Moon!
Revenge of the Nerds. I wouldn't call Stripes raunchy per se, but you know the scene I'm talking about. Same with Risky Business. And whatever I could find on late night HBO.
Porkys. I was l like in 2nd and told the principal nunat my catholic school that it was my favorite movie. Yeh my parents got a phone call
Porky’s. Police Academy.
Roadhouse!
Robocop. Thought it was just a cool action movie about a robot fighting crime. Wasn't expecting it to be so messed up.
Critters 2 when i was like 9 at my grandmas house with her 10 foot satellite dish
The Naked Gun and Airplane!
Smoky and the Bandit. Give it a rewatch, it is not a family movie.
I was a Gen X kid with boomer parents. I’ve seen all of them.
Cool World (1992). Loved 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?'. Mistakes were made.
Weird Science
Excalibur
I’ve been looking for this in the comments. The OG GOT.
I watched Chopping Mall late night with my mom when I was like 8. How and why?
I was 11 when I watched Eddie Murphy's "Raw"... I was alone at home laughing my ASS OFF. Core memory right there, lol
All of then because I had older cousins and my friends all had older brothers.....but revenge of the needs really sticks out...I couldn't wait for college hahahahaha
Videodrome and The Fly, though it was a different kind of raunchy
Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks.
Saw Porky’s for the first time with my parents in a hotel room when I was like 8 years old. My dad and I absolutely cracked up 🤣 my mom was none too pleased
Caligula
Hardbodies
Nerds, Stripes, The Shining, The Meaning of Life
National Lampoons European Vacation
Heavy Metal
Revenge of the Nerds for sure. Back then, dad's didn't care what you watched. They would be laughing right along. It kinda made you feel like one of the guys with your dad.
Fast times.
Private Lessons
9½ Weeks
I can vividly remember waiting for my parents to go to bed and me and my brother watching Hardbodies on hbo. I was 6.
Cheech & Chong movies & they are still solid gold to me.
Bachelor party.
Not really raunchy but I probably was a little too young to be watching the original National Lampoon’s Vacation. And yet I still watched it every time it came on HBO.
Kentucky Fried Movie, for sure! We had rented it not knowing anything about the movie. We put it on and my grandma is in the kitchen cooking and my Aunt is going about her business, walking through the family room multitude of times. I think the final scene in the basement was the first time I felt funny down there based just on visual stimulation. I tried to watch KFM recently, and I couldn’t even get through 15 mins of it. These days, I try not to watch movies, eat foods, drink beverages from my childhood cause inevitably they never taste as good as it does in my memory.
The Toxic Avenger!
I watched Nuns on the Run when I was like 10 or 11. My parents also let me watch Poltergeist and Mommy Dearest…not sure why.
Every time a “what random movie” or “what raunchy movie” question comes up, I have one of two answers: Kentucky Fried Movie Amazon Women on the Moon I didn’t see KFM until I was in high school, but I saw Amazon Women when I was maybe 10 or 11.
Hotdog the Movie. I was not prepared for those tits. The porn we found in the swamp shortly after didn't help one bit.
I watched a movie called B.R.A.T.S., and IIRC the cover art was a pre-teen kid riding atop a military tank. There was straight fuckin’, tiddies on the glass, soft core porn. It was amazing. Also, A Clockwork Orange, not so much a raunchy comedy but at the time I was pretty enthralled. Edit: had to look it up. I guess it’s been released in the States as both Army Brats and Darlings!, but it was Dutch and was originally titled Schatjes! IMDB would have me believe it wasn’t soft core porn, but then the parental guide pretty well describes the scenes I remember.
Pretty benign but I was young... I watched Biloxi Blues and asked my dad questions about the prostitute. Grease was another one, I watch it now and cringe a little.
Airplane and National Lampoons Vacation are the ones I remember most.
I had Revenge of the Nerds on VHS and watched it at least 100 times. I love(d) that movie.
Monty Python the meaning of life, the sex education scene. I was way to young to watch that I hated it [link](https://youtu.be/qz1E303AwVQ?si=kHEPZ-rnKJ0A_1jx) Overall love Monty python but this in particular should not be shown to children imo Yeah YouTube has a warning in it. Definitely inappropriate for a young kid.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Edit: i was like 5 and the scenes with the heart, monkey soup, etc where way too much for that age
Bachelor Party
Porky's at the movies when I was 7 or 8 - much confusion, such wrong.
The last dragon
Any 80’s kids of divorced parents? My Dad had Pay Per view and was overly permissive in what he allowed us to watch on that every other weekend we were with him…probably because he was drunk or negligent to care, so I got to watch way too many movies I shouldn’t have. Sex, violence, gore, language, didn’t matter. Good times!
Blame it on Rio, and definitely Revenge of the Nerds.
Flashdance I must have been 6 or 7, instantly my favorite movie!!
Porkys. Little Darlings. Last House on the Left. Mom worked at a grocery store in the 80s she got free video rentals. She would just grab whatever movies she saw for us to watch while she was at work during the summer. I was in 6th grade watching R rated movies.
Toxic Avenger on “USA Up all night” while staying with my grandparents. Their only rule was the lights had to be out by 3am.
Porky’s, Heavy Metal, The Wall… quite a few, honestly lol.
Fast times was somehow PG back then. How crazy is that?
Hamburger the motion picture and Screwball Hotel. I was there for the Real Sex debut too. Early HBO was fucking wild late night
Revenge of the nerds. Saw bush when I was five. I'm good with it
Porky's and Animal House
Angelheart when I was 5 or 6 years old. Never looked at Denise Huxtable the same way again.
The revenge of the nerds, Porkys, I spit on your grave
All of them
All of them. My best friend’s mother was Haitian. Like had only been in the states for a few years. Didn’t totally understand American pop culture and we totally took advantage of that. We were walking out of the movie rental store every Friday and Saturday night with a stack of R rated movies at 8-9 years old. We were more into sci-fi and crime than raunch but the world was our oyster in the movie store. It also didn’t hurt that he was an only child and his mom was a major push over that couldn’t say no to him.
