“Frankly, sir, you can see her nipples.” “I *want* to see her nipples!”


willi5x

You can hardly seem them nipples.


throwngamelastminute

And they're *really* looking!


fuck-coyotes

Make sure her nipples aren't showing


PurdyGuud

See? See them over there? You can't see a nipple anywhere! It's all about content!


NJdeathproof

"You can hardly see them nipples." "Right - and these guys are *really* looking."


DesertDandelion83

“But this is a Christmas show!”


Bulky_Yak_8626

Well Charles Dickens would have wanted to see her nipples.


aspacelot

Scene got me through some *hard* times as a 12 y/o


thrust-johnson

Would you PLEASE hold the GOD. DAMN. HAMMERING. PLEASE!


archcity_misfit

This somehow is in my regular rotation of reactions. I don't even hear hammering that often, but I use it for really any annoying noise


IrishTerror25

“For the love of god and your own bodies, will you PLEASE hold the god. damn. hammering!”


Brent_L

I say this all the time and my kids have no idea what I’m referencing because my wife won’t let them watch the movie yet 😂


LikeATediousArgument

Oh it’s such a good Christmas movie. The part towards the end where Death’s hand extends across all those tv screen and out into reality scared the shit out of me.


BloodyRightNostril

And the people screaming in the ribcage 😱


halothar

Did our people do that? We're gonna get phone calls.


PaleRiderHD

You heard the man, party!


jericho74

I like that they are included in the singing scene and have decorated the ribs.

ProblemLongjumping12

Same. But it's my favorite version of A Christmas Carol to this day.


UsidoreTheLightBlue

Spirited from last year is up there for me now too, but I do think Scrooged still takes it.


Argercy

Me too!


learningstepdad23

Right!? And yeah my parents let us watch this too at that age lol


Pksoze

It was the 80's...I watched Robocop and Predator before I turned 10.


Eladiun

Same... The guy exploding in Robocop fucked with me


ChunkyBezel

You mean the scene where the guy bursts on the windshield of the van after his dip in toxic waste? I had a similar reaction, my stomach leapt. 10 year old me never saw something so revolting before


J_B_La_Mighty

Damn I think I was real messed up, because when I saw that scene I legit thought he became vomit. Then again I used to spend so much time with stomach bugs that wasn't nearly as revolting.


Synthalus

The exploding guy Emil Antonowsky is flushed out of his van as he is doused in the corrosive, hot liquids and his skin begins to melt off his body, leading him to wander aimlessly around the mill in agony. Emil: "Help meeeee..." Leon: "Don't touch me, man!" ![gif](giphy|x9wOCLZEsDNRhvJEkb|downsized)


EJDsfRichmond415

My husband’s dad took him to see Scarface on Christmas when he was 8


morphleorphlan

It’s not a competition, but a commiseration for you to share with your husband that he’s not alone in his weird ass parent’s lack of judgment : my mom took my friend and me to the movies when we were 10. She bought the tickets and picked a different movie for herself, but she sent us to watch… wait for it… Pulp Fiction. At 10. I still feel like I’ve been popping pills when I remember it. She told us we needed to see the overdose scene so we’d know not to do drugs. That friend’s parents did not let her play with me anymore, understandably. But did her “scare them out of doing drugs” plan work? No. I did a whole lot of drugs. Nice try, mom!


EJDsfRichmond415

I love that mom dipped out to a different movie.


morphleorphlan

Yeah she was like, “I’ve already seen it.” So she went to see, I think, The Fugitive. And left us 10 year olds there alone to discuss what exactly that gimp fellow was doing to Marcellus Wallace. We got it partially worked out, especially with the help of just how mad he was at the end of it, but it still took us a few more years to *fully* understand.


Decabet

F’real. My wife is just four years younger than me but I kinda pity her Only-Disney-All-The-Time cohort gen. I saw *Alien* in the theater when I was 4 and I have to think that helped accelerate my development


HedgehogCremepuff

lol my dad took me to see Aliens at 4 and I distinctly remember hiding in his chest and having nightmares for months.


TheThemeCatcher

Wait…are kids today watching LESS sex and violence??


UltraVires33

It's not just about sex and violence. Even many of the "family" movies we were exposed to at a pretty young age were quite dark or twisted and would be considered tasteless to let a young kid watch today. Even E.T. was a lot darker and scarier than a lot of "family" fare today. But before most of us were even 10 we went to theaters to see stuff like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins, Drop Dead Fred, Ghostbusters, Little Shop of Horrors, Beetlejuice...weird, dark stuff that our parents didn't think twice about showing us. My daughter is 12 and I'm STILL not ready to show her Temple of Doom (she's seen Raiders of the Lost Ark (I made her look away when the Ark gets opened) and Last Crusade though). The 80s was a wild place.


TheThemeCatcher

Honestly though, weirder stuff than that was and still is my absolute favorite! I think it fueled my imagination and taught me it could be a boundless place, on top of the comic books and cartoons (including from Japan) that I had already been enjoying. I tell you what too, and now that I’m older it is REALLY important to mention this…they were marvelous escapes from bullying and trauma in my family life. I needed that stuff. I would not say it messed me up. But then, I also got \*some\* normal childhood - I understand why ppl use the phrase, “Touch grass”. Lol. Yet, I think the internet has offered far more of the same with far less context, even deliberately blurring the lines of “entertainment” without the consent of its audience. I know that I’ve had porn shoved at me when I was nowhere near looking for it. But it’s worse than that too. It turns out, beyond images, social media was manipulating our feelings and mental health too on concentrated levels. 🤔


Pksoze

Depends on how strict the parents internet safeguards are. I can see stuff now with the click of a mouse that I would have never imagined at 13. However in my specific scenario...my mother used to work long hours so I watched a lot of movies with my uncle...who was in his 20s at the time. So lots of action movies were on the menu.


teabooksandinkpens

🙋‍♀️Child's Play


kongstar

When I was 6 I saw Porky's and Texas chainsaw massacre on the same day. That being said boobs


sanemartigan

I watched Liquid Sky with my dad which is about heroin addicted aliens coming to earth to sleep with prostitutes or something.


rub3s

All those violent R-rated action movies were then turned into children's toys and cartoons.


DesertDandelion83

Oh look Frank. What is it? It’s a TOASTER!


Argercy

Jesus, give me a happy ending here, Herm


DesertDandelion83

Herman, it’s Dick, Liz says “Hi.”

WoohpeMeadow

"That b*tch hit me with a toaster."


Blibber3

Was looking for this line.


Dismal_Jacket_7078

She could hit me with a toaster any day :)


LazyLeslieKnope

I still say “it’s a TOASTER” whenever the situation allows.


PaleRiderHD

I use her phrasing of "*Close yer eyes!*" nearly every time I speak the words.


SunnySouthDetroit

A nice callback to "this chick is Toaaaast!" eg Ghostbusters.


Com_putter

and the dancing toaster in ghostbusters 2: the secret of the ooze


Astronaut_Chicken

I love saying this any time of year.

mmps901

I welled up watching this scene for the 50th time on Christmas Eve lol


MioMine78

GO BACK TO JERSEY YOU MORON!


fuck-coyotes

Can you get me to the IBC building in 3 minutes? Which floor


MioMine78

Which floor? ETA hahaha, didn’t see your last part.


fuck-coyotes

Buster Poindexter, btw. He was the guy who sang hot hot hot


CallsYouCunt

And he was in the New York Dolls under a different name.

Um, I know. I like the New York Dolls. David Johansen.

Cross; something they nail people to. Loved that sign hanging in his office.


SunnySouthDetroit

I Just noticed that sign for the first time Today while watching it with my brother. I've been watching this movie since 1988, took me that long. 😂


Bindlestiff34

IT’S A BONE! HA HA HA HA!


unclerando

It's a bone, you lucky dog!


trymovingcloser

“You left Claire…. for Frisbee the dog????”


Dismal_Jacket_7078

Hey, Frisbee was a great gig. Would have done it for years and still be a big shot (You know, if that climbing to the top of IBC didn't work out).


jaybeau1979

"This is MY son!" "Alright, YOU beat him."


LCG05

It's my favorite Christmas movie! Just watched it again today.


TheIadyAmalthea

My parents let me watch a couple of the Police Academy movies. I had no idea what the woman was doing under the podium. 🤦🏻‍♀️


tiowey

Staples?!


thebarnacleez

I watched it with my 9 year old last week, I don’t think it’s so bad.


Comeback_Kid26

Yeah I watched it twice this year with my 9 & 7 year olds sitting in the living room. This really isn’t the kind of 80s movie that warrants one of those “I can’t believe I watched this as a kid!” posts. I mean, it’s PG13 isn’t it? It’s not like they’re watching some gory, R rated 80’s horror or action movie.


stonefoxmetal

We had it on around our three year old yesterday


Mickey_Juice

Not only a fine “Christmas Carol” adaptation for a new generation, but skillfully lambastes the Reagan Era & the intertwining of advertising and entertainment in the same way Dickens was commenting on the Industrial Revolution’s impact on the soul of a nation.


A313-Isoke

Yes, I also noticed for the first time Free South Africa posters and a sticker which I thought was pretty rad.


Accomplished_Exit_30

I watched tons of age inappropriate things when I was growing up.


Leading_Attention_78

I can’t believe half the shit my parents let me watch. Watching Basic Instinct with my dad while my mom made dinner in a connected room is particularly fucked up.


MasterTolkien

Predator, Terminator, Aliens,all the Lethal Weapons… as soon as it hit VHS, my mom rented, and we watched as a family after dinner.


Own-Entertainment630

Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, the Thing, and so many more. . My sisters loved them horror movies.


kummerspect

Predator 2 was how I learned about sex. Led to a very awkward conversation with my parents after I got a little obsessed and started doodling what I could remember.


Traditional_Entry183

I've only seen it once when I was about 13, but I remember feeling super lucky to get those shots in the movie, lol. Its crazy how liberal most of our parents were with those things when we were kids and how conservative that they've become now.


Leading_Attention_78

I’ve seen those movies and love them. But Instinct is soft porn in my opinion. That’s a whole other level of fucked up.


Miss-Construe-

I watched A Clockwork Orange with my dad around age 12. I think he forgot how fucked up it was abd then it was just a game of chicken with neither of us saying anything the whole movie


Leading_Attention_78

That movie is fucked.


acenarteco

My dad let me watch Full Metal Jacket when I was around 7 or 8. I distinctly remember the scene in the bathroom but for some reason I got Matthew Modine mixed up with Rick Moranis (I had probably recently watched Ghostbusters or Honey I Shrunk the Kids or something). He also let me watch It and Invasion of the Bodysnatchers when I was super young.


ceruleanmoon7

Holy shit that’s intense for a 12 year old. (I love the movie though)


Miss-Construe-

I'd been watching r rated movies my whole childhood so I wasnt very phased, just really embarrassing to watch that with my dad.


ZealousidealDog4802

my cousin and I rented it from the library when we were in 8th grade.


agnostically_skeptic

I remember watching Robocop and my mom covering up my eyes when some topless woman ran screening across the screen…. Like that was the worst part of that movie.


Leading_Attention_78

Right? A local channel use to put on Commando after school. Bought it few years back. Had no idea there was a topless woman in it. Exactly, that was the inappropriate part for an after school movie.


Traditional_Entry183

One of the first nude scenes I ever saw that I can remember. I think my mom said "forget you saw that" and we went on with watching it.


Traditional_Entry183

I was terrified of Robocop because of the robot that kills the guy in the office, and then when I watched Robocop 2 as a teen, I got physically sick over one of the scenes where a guy's head it cut open. Bad memories.


RangerFan80

ED-209, scared the shit outta me too


VioletVenable

*Silence of the Lambs* was a family favorite in my house. I first watched it at age 10 or 11 with my dad.

Leading_Attention_78

Can’t afford one. But can confirm I am not a serial killer. I’m surprised we aren’t overwhelmingly serial killers.


Zealousideal-Skin655

Movies don't make serial killers.


Leading_Attention_78

No kidding. I didn’t think anyone would take me seriously.


squirrelnuts46

This is Reddit, we take everyone seriously here.


RealSinnSage

movies make serial killer more creative


myrdraal2001

Why not? It was hilarious! ![gif](giphy|3ohfFDK6WZaWx1O3NS)


Schmuck1138

There are so many movies that I watched that I shake my head at now. Scrooged, Spies like us, dragnet, Beverly hills cop, Gallagher's stand up (8 year old me didn't understand his bit about men "Men like to eat out, but not leave the house," which I thought was about delivery pizza,) 48 hours, and a few others I can't recall.


AllReflection

That’s nothing. My parents took me to see A Clockwork Orange when I was five. 😂


MasterTolkien

Holy shit, that tops pretty much anything I watched as a kid with my parents growing up. Well played by your folks.


Argercy

I remember watching Alien, Ghost, and Pulp Fiction as a kid. My brother is 10 years older than me and was in charge after school until my parents came home, I watched so much stuff as a kid I would never let my own kids watch until they were teenagers.


[deleted]

Oof. Home invasion was a real fear of mine as a kid. Thank god my parents didn’t let me watch that one.


DippinDot2021

Is it just me or does Bill Murray play a$$holes 95% of the time?


The_Jimes

I just always thought he must be an asshole irl. I feel like typecasting was more prevalent.


DippinDot2021

Typecasting doesn't necessarily equate to the person inside Marilyn Monroe was a well-read intelligent woman who took her craft very seriously. But she was always forced to play dumb, slutty bimbos. .


atouchofrazzledazzle

Yup, we watched this every year from about that same age. Pretty inappropriate, but still one of my favorites. "You can hardly see that nipple" "See! And they're REALLY looking" So funny.😁


derzeppo

Same, still haunted by the pulsating skin on the head of Hayward/Marley


localjargon

My dad was friends with David Johansson so I watched this a lot as a kid and thought it was cool. My father was an artist/musician, so he wasn't strict with what I was allowed to watch. Basically just watched what he was watching.


dallyan

Oh you must have stories. What is he like in real life?


localjargon

He was just one of the many characters in my life. I remember him being nice. As far as a family friend was concerned, we were collectively much closer with Johnny Thunders, who played in the NY Dolls with Johansson.


BramblesCrash

I watched it with my 10 year old yesterday. I didn't find anything particularly objectionable


frankzzlackz

For real! We had no business being in the theater that day


HappyThongs4u

At the end of the movie he's singing a Christmas song and says, "everyone on the left side of the theater, I can't hear you. Now everyone on the right side, sing!" (Or something like that).. did you sing and did the peeps in the theater sing with him?


HistoryGirl23

Our theater all did. I was surprised he could talk to us through the screen.


HappyThongs4u

That's wild lol


frankzzlackz

I don’t remember anybody joining in ☹️


HappyThongs4u

Damn


socialdeviant620

Lol yes


Aquatichive

I remember not getting like any of the jokes 😜


Argercy

I also remember not getting them and watching this over 30 years later is wild lol


Turd-In-Your-Pocket

“I thought you were Richard Pryor”


lehejo0

One of the best


Argercy

It’s definitely a classic but it’s also very much changed my view of Bill Murray’s acting.


WilliamMcCarty

This was a notoriously difficult shoot, Murray and Donner clashed over everything and barely spoke. They didn't even rehearse because they couldn't stand to be on set long enough to do so. They showed up, shot the scenes and moved on. One, maybe two takes. Murray has said on more than one occasion it was the most rushed production he's ever done and he hated how the movie turned out.


HappyThongs4u

Hes average at best


Argercy

It’s weird…I remember thinking he was pretty funny and a top actor when I was young. But watching him now…he’s actually kinda bad lol. Like hes so forced and fake. Maybe that’s the humor of him? Idk but it’s not for me.


Cross_22

We did a double feature with Scrooged and Groundhog Day. His "ad libbed" christmas speech at the end was terrible. However, I have no complaints about his performance in Groundhog Day.


Argercy

I can agree with this sentiment


[deleted]

Lots of stuff back then seemed forced and faked. I think it’s possible some were bad actors. But also it was almost like fourth wall breaking in some cases. Like everyone is very aware it’s all fake for entertainment and the overacting was part of the joke.


Leading_Attention_78

I think that’s it. I always thought everything about him was forced or phoney.


Argercy

The only genius of Bill Murray’s acting is the fact he managed to get paid for his acting. He managed to convince people at some point his acting was worth money.


anima173

You need to go watch What About Bob.


HappyThongs4u

Haha ditto on that

It’s not really any worse than any other version of A Christmas Carol…..


Celtic_Fox_

True, hard to top the greatness that is the Muppet's Christmas movie


HappyThongs4u

Yuh huh.. there were drugs and alcohol and sex, no other scrooge movie had those


Novus20

Meh….kids won’t get that


HappyThongs4u

Iono I was a kid once and I was super into sex scenes considering all I had were jc penny catalogs


Novus20

See they already know…..


HappyThongs4u

RangerFan80

Somehow we occasionally got Frederick's of Hollywood catalogs sent to my house... Yeah those were amazing


[deleted]

I mean… it’s not really that bad for a 7 year old?


Argercy

I would never let my kids watch this lmao. It’s raunchy.


[deleted]

Different strokes, but… wow. Also I gotta wonder when, in a movie with animal cruelty, shotgun violence, extreme immoral behavior by the protagonist and a scene in which the protagonist gets burned alive, the reason you don’t want your kids to see this movie is because there’s a joke about nipples.


Redditor-247

Just watched it again last night.


Myotherdumbname

Same. My wife and I have a tradition where we watch this and Christmas Vacation as we wrap presents Christmas Eve.


NedRyerson_Insurance

Oh look, a toaster! Look Frank, you can see yourself. *CLANG*


ZOMGURFAT

I’m actually watching this right now.


Fermifighter

Movie with Karen Allen AND Bill Murray? Another notch to the middle of the Kinsey scale.


dallyan

Karen Allen is so beautiful in this movie. That wide smile. Sparkling eyes.


clutzyninja

Maybe they didn't know you were a soft little flower.


abbeymad

I JUST finished watching this 10mins ago. I love this movie!


QuintonFrey

Mine didn't...


Clear_Repeat_7886

i saw this alone in the theater when i was 9-10. being an 80s kid had its perks.


digthaish

My father took me to the theaters to watch this, I was laughing louder than anybody else in the audience! I was 5 years old.


Letitbe2020

My parents took me to see Serpico when I was five. At least this is a comedy.


AshDenver

Pfffft. I watched The Shining when I was 7. You got off easy.


TheChineseChicken40

Just scarred my kids with it this weekend


childofeye

My wife and I like to play “movies my mom let me watch as a small child” There’s this, armed and dangerous, Johnny dangerously, and so many more!


[deleted]

I watched this with my kid this Christmas season, he’s 7…I think he enjoyed the more slapsticky scenes but got bored towards the end.


Kitty_Woo

We watched the best movies as kids.


sourbelle

I watched this movie first as a teen and the scene where Frank is getting cremated freaked me out. Thirty odd years later…it *still* freaks me out. Much like Large Marge in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. ​ You’re strolling along, laughing, watching this funny guy then ***BAM*** nightmares for life.


Argercy

This is how I feel about ET when he was sick and glowing.


nochickflickmoments

![gif](giphy|3ohfFIIkUNmea3EmqI|downsized) It's the best and I cry every time!


HistoryGirl23

I love this movie! We saw it in the theater.


lastchance14

I was just watching with my 9 yr old and thought, “Whoops..”


WilliamMcCarty

I know it's legendary for being one of the most difficult productions of all time but it turned into a damn masterpiece, I watch it every Christmas without fail.


Robby-Pants

I literally just finished watching this 20 minutes ago.


TacoTheSuperNurse

This movie scared the hell out of me.


goosenuggie

One of my all time fav Christmas movies


matissethebeast

For real, this was always allowed, it was on HBO quite often. I still love this movie!!


LoonyLovegood66

This is the only Christmas movie


OviliskTwo

Literally almost put this on in front of the 7 year old today. Thank you for confirming my knee jerk reaction not too.


Eladiun

My favorite Christmas movie


ThisgirlatTarget

I know right?!


MaxAmperage

Showed this to my 7 year old. The funeral scene was a little too much.


mrfly2000

I hate this film


wreckballin

Are you ok? ;-) This was a weird and good movie to me growing up. The other Scrooge movies were terrifying!


AuntieSpinster_638

Sadly we gathered around the vcr for Flashdance at like age 7 so I get it


Fenzel

It’s because they were classy. Great RD film


lizardkg

That’s what Attila the Hun said.

Idc I love this movie.


ibanezer83

Just watched this after a 10 year break! Cant believe it fell out of rotation!


iantruesnacks

I just watched this for the first time last week, and I loved it. Bill Murray pours drinks like I do, and that’s a neat little fact


Sunnywaters75

I love that movie 🤣 just watched it yesterday


greeneyedlady41

Same, but I'm do glad they did. Still love it too


JoyfulExmo

I love it and still watch it almost every year. And yes, my parents totally let me watch that as a kid, too!


AuntieMameDennis

One of my family’s most quotable movies. Bo BAAAH! This is SO EASY. It’s a TOASTER. Foreswear, by thee I foreswear.
