Movies from when we were kids

Dad, Mom, Sis and I went to the movie theater with nothing in particular in mind to see. Reflecting now, I’ve no idea how Mom convinced Dad to go, he was NOT a movie goer…

Anyways, I see this cool looking promo poster and that was it, I wanted us to see Swampthing (or something like that)… somehow it came up that Sis might get too scared with the monsters, mind you I was about 7yrs old and she was about 5 at the time. Anyways, Sis liked horses and thought the new horse movie would be good to see. I do recall Mom and Dad having some sort of discussion but it was soon finalized and we went on to watch the horse movie…. Honestly, I don’t remember watching it though I do remember Mom and Dad being a little uncomfortable at times during the show… I can’t imagine what their conversation was like when we were back home.. that little horse movie was Blazing Saddles.. hahaha.
Not quite like that but somewhat related, I begged dad to take me to see The Jerk - he didn’t say anything at the time but later he would talk about much he dreaded taking me to see it - he’d only seen bits and pieces of Steve Martin and was NOT a fan
But he did take me and of course was howling with laughter throughout
