LOL I was just thinking about this some more... When I tried showing my oldest the movie "Signs" which is mainly very creepy, lots of suspenseful moments, he actually asked me to stop the film at one point and said he didn't want to watch the rest.  He had some bad dreams after that, was a bit too intense for him.
Then I remember showing the kids "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" which was hilarious. But my middle son had bad dreams about "Large Marge." That part scared him even though it is cartoony! I guess my biggest reservation is people getting shot, which happens alot in Raiders. Makes me feel like a paranoid mom. You know that I've actually sent along the message to parents my kids are visiting that they are not allowed to play M-rated video games, and the movie thing has been a point of contention too. I mean my sons know 8-9 year old kids that are being allowed to play M-rated games!! ARRGH! (In our house, the joke is M stands for 'Mommy', they know they aren't allowed to play those games.) I did take the oldest to see "Superman Returns" which he thought was OK. My middle son wants to see it too, and I'll probably take him. I can't wait to share movies like Alien, Blade Runner, The Matrix, Dark City, Ghost Busters etc. But I am definitely struggling with what the right age is. *sigh* So any input you experienced moms of older kids have on how you decided what the boundaries were, example movies and what age you decided was OK would be great to hear.
