People Debate Which Kids' Movies They'd Love To See An R-Rated Version Of
20th Century Fox

Those of you who have seen Home Alone – and honestly, who hasn't at this point – know that Kevin McCallister was sick in the head. I mean, he really went overboard, didn't he? His ideas were straight out of a horror film. He could have taught some tricks of the trade to Jigsaw, wouldn't you agree?

Next time you watch those films, consider why his awful parents didn't send his ass to a child psychologist.

But Home Alone isn't the only kids movie that would benefit from a more adult version. People shared their thoughts with us after Redditor Kevvv_Y asked the online community,

"If you could make one kids movie R rated which movie would you choose?"

Home Alone (1990)

"Home Alone would be pretty intense."

Jojo056123

Pretty sure an R-rated version of this film would just be called Saw.

Small Soldiers (1998)

"Small Soldiers. It would be a bloodbath!"

PissoffCoDfan

It was already pretty intense. The spliced Barbies they were mass producing in the last act was actual crazy sh*t.

Zootopia (2016)

"I feel like Zootopia was going down that path already. Not in a furry way per say, but more of a "drugged up predators are murdering people" way."

Yeah, if you really think about the plot of the movie, this perfectly breaks down how dark the film actually was.

Coraline (2009)

"Coraline. Let’s make it darker, by a lot."

[deleted]

Noooo please don't. It was already scary enough!

Antz (1998)

"Antz. Its already primed up for it with the violence it has. It's Starship Troopers for kids."

[deleted]

Ah yes, this movie was wilder than it had any right to be. A fine choice.

Scooby-Doo (2002)

"The live action Scooby Doo because it was originally written by James Gunn to be a Rated R film. Shaggy and Scooby were supposed to hotbox the Mystery Machine and Velma and Daphne would’ve made out. Would’ve been 10/10."

So basically that scene from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back?

Matilda (1996)

"Matilda. If it’s rated R it’s just Carrie."

PM_Me_Your_DownBlouse

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)

"Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. It would improve the film if the Phantasm got to kill people with blades rather than PGing everyone to death."

SYLOH

You wouldn't even need to be R for that.

You'd just need to not be an animated movie from the '90s that's technically for kids.

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

"The Nightmare Before Christmas. You could add 15-20 minutes of R-rated scenes to the original material, then it'd be a full hour and a half long!"

boomdart

A good choice! It's already an excellent candidate.

The Lion King (1994)

"The Lion King. Give me all of the brutality of animals fighting and ripping each other apart to slowly eat each other alive."

noshoes77

Oh, that's the reason?

Does Simba and Nala's relationship ring any bells?

Sorry to ruin your childhoods. Or... better yet, consider that we're improving them.

Scott Bessent Blasted Over His Bonkers Suggestion For How To Bring Your Own Inflation Rate Down

Continuing to follow the example of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Meet the Press Sunday to blame Democratic President Joe Biden for the financial downturn caused by Trump's tariff fiasco, then lied repeatedly about the state of the economy.

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker played a clip of MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance telling a conservative audience at a Breitbart News event that Americans owe the Trump administration "a little bit of patience"—apparently while they figure out what tariffs are and how they work since they're rolling back more of them to lower consumer prices despite claiming Trump's tariffs don't affect consumer prices.

Lindsay Lohan Is Now Sporting A New Accent—And Fans Aren't Sure What To Make Of It

In a twist freakier than a sequel to Freaky Friday, Lindsay Lohan has debuted yet another new accent—this time at the Fashion Trust Arabia Awards in Doha, Qatar.

Draped in a maroon, jewel-trimmed gown by The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel and accompanied by her husband, Bader Shammas, and their 2-year-old son, Luai, the actress looked serene, elegant, and completely unbothered by the collective whiplash she was about to inflict on the internet.

Trump Is Now Using His Presidential Sway To Pressure Studio Into Making 'Rush Hour 4'—And, Huh?

President Trump has reportedly pressured Paramount head Larry Ellison to make another sequel to Rush Hour, his favorite buddy-cop movie, as the company looks to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.

The first Rush Hour film, starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, was released in 1998, received positive reviews, and made $245 million worldwide. Chan and Tucker returned for two sequels released in 2001 and 2007 respectively.
