11-year-olds are young enough to get terrible nightmares from films like Aliens - if it was my child who wanted to watch something age-appropriate and got shouted down, I'd be pretty furious.
Which one? That lovely children's classic "The Wizard of Oz".
That witch was scary!!
It only exists as a outtake (its on yahoo) as it was to upsetting.
Some of us weren't so lucky.
I saw plenty of much more graphic stuff that didn't phase me for a moment.
It was The Care Bears Movie.
No nightmares.
If anything, I was the weird kid at school, because everyone else was watching Nightmare on Elm Street when they were 8 and 9, and mom wouldn't let me.
