I was super young when I saw Robocop. It was wildly more violent than anything I had seen in my life.

Watership Down.
I had to turn it off because it was too scary for me.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors at 8 or 9. I also watched a lot of Van Damme movies as a kid.
My parents didn't really stop me from watching much, and my grandfather would take me out to rent movies (5 movies for 5 days, for $5).
The only ones I was ever told to turn off or not watch were Casino and From Dusk 'Till Dawn. My Grandpa rented me both, but my parents walked in during the first part of FDTD and my Grandpa gave me a buck to rent Casino off me then told my parents I shouldn't watch it at 8 years old.

Hellraiser. Dad took me to see it when I was 6 years old.
I wept at the Jesus Wept scene.

ROBOCOP. The scene where he gets shot a million times. Nightmare fuel.

RoboCop for sure. Such an awesome fucking movie. Remember seeing Starship Troopers in theaters as well. I would have been 12 at the time. Also remember seeing T2 in theaters and I would have been 6, granted it's not really that violent outside of a couple quick moments.

That alex murphy scene was fucked up. My mom also took me to watch Blade (1998) which was a total blast but that scene with Wesley Snipes burning that one fat dude in the movie nearly terrified me as a kid.

Aliens probably. I was like 6 when that came out. I honestly think it's what made me afraid of the dark for a few years.

Going with Robocop as well.
It's still ranks in my top 3 greatest movies ever made. I lost count how many times I've watched it since.

Violent may not be the right word, but I saw The Shining when I was 5 or so and it really, really fucked with my fragile eggshell mind. Same with Pet Semetary.
Again, violent may not be the right word, but I saw Female Trouble when I was 10 or so and I... well. It was weird.

Princess Mononoke. Shit is fucked. Technically not the most violent movie I saw as a kid but the fact it was animated and I didn't really expect it made it more jarring.

Robocop then total recall. I remember having to sleep in my brothers room after watching robocop because of the toxic waste scene gave me nightmares. Watched total recall with my parents and all they said was,"make sure you don't use any nasty words you heard at school" The night I fell in love with boobs.

Faces of Death. It was all the rage in the 80's. I was around 10 or so. Watched it at a friend's house.

Might as well make this a Paul Verhoeven appreciation thread.
I clicked to post Starship Troopers but it was the OP choice. This is a good pick, tho I was in middle school when SPR came out. Saw SPR 7 times in the theatre (my record).

As with a bunch of other people, Robocop.

Yep.
I didn't watch it for a decade later. Shit was too intense for my 7 year old self.
What's crazy was that Robocop was being marketed to young boys with the toys and cartoon.
Also this is Paul Verhoeven the thread lol.

Halloween(the entire series)
Night of the Living Dead (the original), when I was around 6 . Had zombie nightmares periodically for the next 15 years. Despite how many zombie movies I had seen after, the Romero version really stuck with me. Maybe because it was in black and white, seemed more like a documentary to me.
