It’s interesting. My mother-in-law isn’t what I’d call prudish, but she definitely restricted what her children could watch in terms of things like R-rated movies.
My father, on the other hand, was a film historian who, despite that, didn’t really understand what movies were and were not appropriate for kids, which is why I saw Aliens in the theater when I was 9 years old.
We spent a long time butting heads over how far I wanted to go with my own daughter in terms of age appropriateness vs. how far she wanted to go. I eventually won that battle when my daughter turned 12 and my wife realized that there was no way to hide the world of R-rated things from a 12-year-old with YouTube anyway.
And that’s why my daughter’s favorite movie is now Forbidden Zone.

Haha, haven’t met many that know that movie.
She loves cult movies and so do I, so we watch a lot of them together.
I love the class room scene.
