Yep. We rented it before knowing what it was, we just heard a lot of buzz around it. I straight up watched it with my mom and my big sister.
My soul left my body for pretty much the entire runtime.
Not a movie but my Dad likes to listen to audio books on long trips so I got some action/adventure ones from the library to bring along. Imagine my face when the explicitly described explicit sex scene rolled out. I was on the floor in the back seat by the time it was 1/4 over. 😂
Bound, when I was 17, with my dad. We both thought it was a mafia high-jinks film with two female leads. About 20 minutes in, explicit lesbian sex scene. He fast forwarded through it. Late that night I snuck into the lounge and kept rewinding to that scene, over and over.
Bruh, we sat in stunned silence. When it was over we returned it to Video World and never spoke of it. I think we all wanted to pretend like it never happened.
God I hated that movie. Basically about my exact demographic and age cohort, and it felt like Larry Clark was sleazing all over people I knew. Great soundtrack though.
Flesh Gordon, which was accidentally (?) in the box for Flash Gordon. I was 12 or 13. Watching porn with my mom, stepdad, and older brothers was not my plan that night
My grandma took me to Pulp Fiction in the theater. I was 17. It was about an hour longer than I told her, so she ducked out to pick up my younger cousin from some errand...before the Gimp scene. She picked me afterwards and said, "it was nice to see John Travolta dance again."
not me personally but there was a mother / daughter sitting near us during Poor Things & the mother kept apologizing to her daughter "I'm so sorry, I didn't know!"
It was easily one of the most uncomfortable moments of our lives. We just sat there not knowing how to handle the situation we were all too embarrassed. Nobody had the guts to just press the 'stop' button and say "a swing and a miss."
Watched "Her" in the theater with my 85 y/o dad, a retired psychiatrist and amateur roboticist. We then of course never talked about it beyond "huh, interesting movie eh".
I did some quote-post magic with my own answer, and it occurred to me too late that this was probably not the most communally-minded way of doing things. After all, surely someone out there has the same answer as me, and finding each other could be therapeutic?
I used to take my mom to our local art house cinema, a tradition established years after she took me to see 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘰 there in its initial re-release. So then, there's some context for how we ended up at 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘺 together 🙈. We'd seen Clouzot's 𝘞𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘍𝘦𝘢𝘳 there on Mother's Day that year.
Monty Python's "Holy Grail," back in the early '80s with my confused grandparents (that was back when Python was a late-evening staple on most PBS stations) #FilmSky
My dad would basically always take my brother & me along to see any movie he was interested in seeing, so we got to watch both of these in the theater sometime between the ages of 8 & 11
