In 1975 my father took me, a 6 yr old, to see JAWS in the theater. He also took me to see ALIEN IN '79 because I loved Star Wars. And he then mocked me being afraid of the dark and deep water. Parents can be clueless....

I turned down all 3 they got mad. Turns out their plan was to use it as a rental once my wife divorced me, sticking me with the cost.
