Now, there is a thread for favourite childhood films - this isn't a duplicate thread I wanted to start something slightly different.

So how does it differ? I want to know what your favourite films were when you were a child that weren't films for children. I know this is only a slight variation but there were a few films that I considered to be my favourites that I watched over and over that just weren't for children and I can't even see why a child would want to watch them. I mean I also watched a lot of classic sci-fi but what child wouldn't like that?

Three films I adored and watched over and over were,

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle - I rented this when I was about 10 for a sleepover with friends and became obsessed with it after that.

The Blue Lagoon - mum had recorded this when it was on the telly and I swear I wore out the part where you can see a glimpse of penis with the amount of pausing I did.

The Color Purple - another favourite, I think I first watched it when I was 6 and just loved it, I watched it over and over.


Now none of these I can imagine being exciting for a child.
