I love The little princess. It's riches to rags and back to riches.

I agree. To train up a child is a bad one. I confiscated these from my parents so they wouldn't fall into naive hands again. I keep them for use in therapy to unlearn all the programming. It's basically Pavlov's kids enforced with violence starting at 6 months. They detail how to "break a child's will" as early as possible to mold them how you wish. They belong in a museum so we don't forget the outcomes of several adopted children being murdered by over zealous parents following this depravity. Just a few copies then burn the rest.

Hunted (2020) it is a cat and mouse chase cut with intense scenes. Those bits have stuck with me.

Shaun of the dead. Plans out the rest of the movie in one scene. Nothing goes according to plan.

Home Alone harry and marv have a foolproofed plan that backfires

Probably any heist movie

I would lean more DreamWorks films. I found when the villain threatens someone's life, that's when it got scary for me. So Darla and the explorer in up where both going to kill the main person. Like cruella she was literally going to kill all the puppies. Old Disney didn't pull punches. But kung fu panda it was a battle over a scroll. Over the hedge didn't have death as a stake. I think kids pick up on the gravity of situations really well. That being said my Only qualification is being a child myself once.

Last house on the left (remake) and the girl next door. I felt like I was a silent witness to a slow train wreck of glorified torture. One of those you just feel dirty after watching like you took part in the debasement of your own being. Definitely the girl next door because it's based on a true story. There was something to be gained or appreciated by watching hereditary, not so here.
