I can't help but think back to the non-Disney movies that I grew up with, The Goonies, The NeverEnding Story. If you look at the movies of the 80s & compare them to today's kids movies, there's a world of difference. Did those movies scare me as a kid? Heck yeah. But I think that was a good thing. Kids need to face fantasy scares in order to deal with those of real-life. And saying that the violence in Up is graphic is just ludicrous.>> Completely agree. I just watched Ghostbusters last night. While it's not overtly scary there are moments in there that could be frightening to a child. Or take any Spielberg movie you grew up on. Willy Wonka? Parts of that film scared me as a kid.

63	Dabob2 Wed 6/3/2009 8:30a	I remember discussing with friends once "what's the scariest movie you ever saw?" People named a dozen different films - Alien, Silence of the Lambs, Halloween... Then someone asked "what movie scared you the most at the time?" Pretty much everyone said "The Wizard of Oz."
64	SoThisIsLove Wed 6/3/2009 8:33a	(Mine was "Wait Until Dark") Cannot wait to see UP again and I will definitely own the movie. I saw a couple of interviews (very short/raw)on You Tube with Jordan Nagai, voice of Russell. Such a cutie pie! Doesn't look/act like his character at all, so they did an *excellent* job of working with that young man.
65	DAR Wed 6/3/2009 8:43a	Mine wasn't so much a movie but a scene. In the Lost World, the scene of the T-Rex poking his head in the tent. Still gets me to this day.
66	DlandDug Wed 6/3/2009 11:23a	Scary movie moment in childhood for me? Laurel and Hardy's version of "Babes in Toyland" (!) The scene where the big furry critters come and carry off the children. Today, it is absurd looking, but at the time it gave me nightmares.
67	TMICHAEL Wed 6/3/2009 5:14p	Gosh, I was a teen not a child but JAWS scared the crap out of me and I doubly hated it because I lived at the beach. I was ok with everything until the dudes chewed up head popped out of the boat hull.....AAAAAHHHHH!!!!! And by the time the shark started chomping down on Quint, I had to just close my eyes and ride that scene out.
68	DyGDisney Wed 6/3/2009 8:36p	I don't think those from my generation were as coddled. People have mentioned some of the movies we watched growing up --- Wizard of Oz, Jaws, Alien, etc. Along with those, I'd mention the Original Star Wars trilogy, the Indian Jones movies, and some classics like Psycho and The Birds as being movies I saw as a kid.
69	ecdc Wed 6/3/2009 10:45p	Lame as it is, my scary moment as a kid was in Superman 3 when the computer sucks that lady into it and turns her into a robot. Scared me to death, the way she was screaming and then got silenced.
70	mele Wed 6/3/2009 11:05p	I saw the 70's version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" when I was in the 2nd grade. Scared the holy hell out of me.
