Watched poor things with my brother. Could have been more awkward but that movie was … weird…

One night I was re-watching Almodovar’s “Átame!” (“Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!” in English) and my older sister came in and sat to watch.
As I’d seen it before, I knew a very, very long and graphic sex scene was coming, so I got up and went to the bathroom.

When I returned, only after I was well and fully sure that scene was over, my sister said - “I’m so glad you walked out right when you did”, yeah no kidding, I did it on purpose.

Now for a friend of mine… his family are born-again Christians, it was his turn to pick a movie that night, and he’d chosen “Easy Rider”, yeah, this guy could be completely oblivious like that.
After an hour and change of uneasy watching with a palpable tension in the air… the acid kicked in… in the New Orleans raised cemetery. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back, that’s when the yelling started in my friend’s living room.

Extended cut of The Big Blue. I watched it with my dad and new girlfriend. My dad was a big time cave diver and so was she. I like Luc Besson movies. Seemed like a good first meeting activity. I wasn’t aware the extended had a fair number of sex scenes.

In my early teens I got into scifi movies, so as a family we rented Barbarella. My mum had to check the vhs cover, she thought the video store had given us an adult film by mistake.

Everything Everywhere All At Once. I was hoping for some form of bonding. Nothing. I can’t even talk about this without getting frustrated. So I’m not going to.

My mom and I would rent movies when my dad was on business trips. Go to blockbuster and pick out a movie, make popcorn, cozy blankets. One night my mom got a movie and about 5 minutes in she was like maybe we should turn it off, and I said nah, it’s already playing let’s watch it. So that’s how I ended up watching Pink Flamingos in 3rd grade.

Chasing Amy, for sure.

I watched kids with my mom when I was 17 or 18.

watched 8mm with my grandmother we thought it was just a genetic crime story.

Gangs of New York. Was on a date with my girlfriend at the time, and her parents joined us. You coulda cut the tension with a knife.

My step mom said she liked wonder woman, so I made us all watch Professor Marston and the Wonder Woman.

The bdsm scenes were a bit awkward, but no regrets. People should know their history.

A Clockwork Orange. When I was like 16.

HARK!

My parents took us to see The Passion of the Christ. That sucked a lot.

But, my actual answer to this is watching A History of Violence with my aunt and uncle at their house. It was their choice. I knew what was coming, and I didn’t strategically exit the room before the staircase scene.

The first Austin Powers movie, watched it with my mom when I was, like, 14. Super awkward at that age with all the sex jokes. We never spoke of it again.
