My brother being older than me got to see some X cert movies.
He saw ALIEN (1979). The film broke down just as Ripley blew the Nostromo up. Everyone thought it was the end of the film because it stopped in just the right place. Then the film started again and people came back in!
He saw THE EXORCIST (1973). It scared him afterward. He kept thinking he could see the possessed face and hear the voice in the bedroom.
He also saw DAMIEN OMEN II (1978), ENTER THE DRAGON (1973) and SCANNERS (1981). I remember the awesome SCANNERS poster lit up at the cinema. |
I vividly remember being in Seattle around 71/72 with my mum and a small cinema had this poster on display, I looked at my mum and she said "I'm not taking you to see that and that's final so don't even ask"
at 11 or 12 she already knew me too well.
