in Chit-Chat
So my husband I were talking about movies and such. He made the argument that movies like pet cemetery are out of my age range. I disagreed saying that it is an iconic movie and thus beyond an age barrier. Well apparently I'm a biased source since I'm a huge fan of price and karloff. He's 31 and has never seen psycho which I felt was more odd. So thoughts? Are movies that have become classics or iconic still bound by age?

    I'm 24 and I've seen Pet Sematary a ton of times. Growing up, it was one of the movies that I'd sit down to watch anytime I saw it on TV, like whelp, better cancel my plans for the next two hours, this is more important. It is definitely weirder that he hasn't seen Psyco; I honestly didn't realize it could be avoided (not that I would). But to your point, I would agree that iconic movies are not necessarily bound by age, at least not in terms of their cultural significance. I don't expect everyone to have seen them - I'm not surprised when I meet a fifteen year old who hasn't seen Gone With the Wind, whereas I'd be shocked if she didn't at least know what it was.

    28 here, seen and read both by the time I was 24. But I'm a biased source as well :smile:

    Why do you think Pet Sematary is iconic though?

    22, seen and read Pet Sematary. I don't know if I'd call it iconic though.

    We just watched Gremlins with our 13 yr old, and Princess Bride and ET before that. We have determined that he must be exposed to the iconic movies. However, Pet Cemetery probably wont be one of them. Too creepy for him.

    I know I am way out of the age range for this thread, but just throwing that out there. I did pull out Friday the 13th at my oldest daughter's birthday party, probably when she was around 12. Bad mistake. Had about 10 girls who were scared to turn out the lights!

    Now any of you under 30s who have seen Trilogy of Terror, get bonus points!

    Same reason someone else here has noted things like princess bride. Even if you haven't seen it you've most likely heard of it. It's one of those movies that hasn't really died with the decades since its come out.

    It just depends what you're exposed to growing up or what you take interest in later on. I'm 28 but had seen the Shining by the time I was 10. I also grew up on the Munsters, Sir Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, Abbot & Costello... non-horror outfits like Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers, Danny Kaye, etc etc... it's just what was around when I was a kid because it's what my (considerably older) parents were into. I'm glad though, because I still have a love and appreciation for the classics today that many people my age and younger haven't got a clue about and I almost feel sorry for them.

    My boyfriend is 33 and has never seen the Wizard of Oz and would look at me like I had a d**k on my forehead if I asked him if he'd like to listen to Billie Holiday with me, so go figure.

    i'm 36 but I had to jump in because it was filmed near me and I saw it in my 20s. I have a friend in the movie. Very small role but still cool. He plays the long blonde haired teen guy smoking a cigarette around the campfire lol. I also didn't watched psycho until I was around 32 or 33.
