Just discovered that Gremlins was rated a 15 in the UK on release 🙈 I realised the other day that our son hadn't seen it, so we popped to Cex to buy it on DVD (not available to stream free anywhere this Christmas it seems) Did any parents in the early 90s give AF about what their kids were watching? I swear we all had a toy Gizmo, and if you'd asked me yesterday, I'd have said it was a cosy family film 🙈🤣

一小時內	Adam Smith smithcgirender	I have gremlins 1 & 2 to watch every Chrimbo as it is never streamed. I watched it as a kid and are 15 rating but it was more comedy horror than scary horror. But us kiids in the 80s watching terminator, robocop, predator and load of 15-18 rating, yet they released toy lines when the movies were out

19 小時內	Dom Tyler domtyler80	I remember being 10 or younger and my friend was terrified of Gremlins and The Fly but was fine with Aliens and Predator. My sister worked at a video shop when I was 11 or 12 and she'd let me take out Nightmare on Elm Street and Hellraiser lol
21 小時內	sally fraser sally_fraser.82	It's now been reclassified as an 18 in the UK. That was my thought exactly
一天內	Professor Waffles Johnson professor_waffles_johnson	I'm almost certain that the first film was originally rated 18 on video, later reduced to 15.
一天內	Professor Waffles Johnson professor_waffles_johnson	Also the ratings were very inconsistent. Star Wars got a U despite the violence because James Ferman head of the bbfc was a Lucas fan.
