7 Movies You Watched as a Kid That Your Own Kids Do Not Need to See

Year: 1975

Rating: PG

Tagline: "Don't go in the water."

Reasons they shouldn’t see it as a kid: A giant great white shark rips apart a bunch of people innocently swimming in the ocean, so if your kids are like me, they will be afraid of bodies of water (even pools) for the foreseeable future — you just don’t come back from that.

When they should see it: This movie is truly gruesome, so I’d wait until you think they’re mature enough to handle something so scary and traumatizing. The fact that this movie isn’t based on a completely fictional premise, as sharks do exist, will not be missed on younger ones with vivid imaginations.
