"Movies you regret forcing your parents to take you to"
Let's talk about it.
Terrible, horrible-awful kiddie (or not so kiddie) pics that you begged and pleaded your parents to take you to see, that now looking back, you almost want to write home like "I'm sorry, Dad."
I've a list. Most of them are TV cartoon shows adapted to features:
The Secret of the Sword (1985) The Care Bears Movie (1985) Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation (1986) The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland (1987) GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords (1986) Masters of the Universe (1987) The Nutcracker Prince (1990 - I thought this one was awful even back then

Especially when you come from a household where the only family sanctioned theater trips were for shit like My Left Foot. Maybe if Mom even had a TV anymore, she could catch Gremlins 2 on cable and finally wrap her head around what makes for truly endearing art.

Jesus Christ was a fucking terrible movie. The only redeeming quality was that Forest Whitaker didn't die. I mean sure as a 7 year old it was cool to see a naked woman, but it didn't help that she immediately ate the muthafucker after she got done giving him a blow job. Talk about nightmares.
I don't know what the fuck my parents were thinking.
Also, I wasn't there for this, but my brother experienced my nephew's last kid movie. The boy begged him to go see the third Alvin and the Chimpmunks movie, and then my brother watched the boy slowly figure out the deviousness of Hollywood marketing schemes.

I didn't do that to my parents too much but had an older brother I got to take me instead
I recall my mom taking me to Superman III and she was not impressed. I thought it was awesome at the time, now tend to agree with her aside from junkyard scene which is still awesome
Mega Force maybe the worst movie I saw in the theater, with my bro. I don't remember it at all really, just thinking the vehicles looked cool at the time and I was into Knight Rider and stuff like that
On another note, I took my son to Green Lantern and I regret that completely lol
Me and my brother were amped for that movie. By the end, movie headaches for everyone. We both apologized to my dad for making him sit through it as we walked out the theatre.
