'Heart Of Gold'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Aliens is the first R-rated movie I can definitely remember seeing at the theater rather than on cable, but I've been a serious horror movie fan since middle school. I'm sure saw A Nightmare on Elm Street and other similar feel-good movies long before it was legal for me to do so.
ETA: Nope, I remembered going to see Silver Bullet with my mom in '85. Of course she, as the adult, was the one all jittery and nervous afterwards.
Vibraphone, darling.
See, that makes the whole thing even dirtier!
I watched Aimee & Jaguar last night. What a great movie! Even though I'd read the book it still broke me like a broken thing. I'm sure my current living situation had a lot to do with it but I started sobbing towards the end and could not stop until well after the credits were over. I had to crawl in bed with the (very confused) dog before I finally calmed down.
I also saw Screaming Mimi over the weekend, followed by Blair Witch Project.
Screaming Mimi is a hoot, all Freudian and things. Recommended for fans of the unusual. (And Philip Carey, the male lead, is gorgeous in a preppy male model way.) The vibraphonist is at least Red Norvo, who may not be one of the great jazzists but is at least more than competent. Plus Gypsy Rose Lee in a supporting role with lesbian overtones, singing "Put the Blame on Mame."
My first R-rate movie was a different Bo Derek movie, 10.

He's considered a major jazz vibes player.
Screaming Mimi doesn't seem to be available on DVD ::pout::
It being on TCM means it may be soon, though.
singing "Put the Blame on Mame."
But only the first verse. I guess they had to leave time to show the whole screwy dance routine again.

I thought his numbers were far better than the movie deserved.

It also wasn't Lee's finest hour. For that, I'd recommend Stage Door Canteen.
