Forbidden Movie(s)

Hey all,
So every seen a movie that your parents disapproved of? Was the movie worth seeing simply for the thrill of the forbidden?
For me it was Max Dugan Returns which has finally, finally made it onto DVD.
Early 80s movie starring Jason Robards, a younger Donald Sutherland and a very young Matthew Broderick. Written by Neil Simon it is a light hearted comedy that tells of a struggling teacher and her son leaving in LA. Struggling until Nora's (played by Marsha Mason) long lost father (Jason Robards)shows up.
Great lines. Saw it in the early 80s with my sibs. At the time we were living a lifestyle pretty close to the one lived by Nora and her son Michael in the movie. Not much money, appliances and cars giving out constantly.
It was the forbidden movie because literally everytime we watched it one of our appliances died: the dishwasher, the washer, the dryer, the refrigerator. Until mom said: "Enough!" We were not allowed to watch it for fear of more dead appliances and costly repairs.
Brings back many, many memories. If you haven't seen it, check it out. Well worth your time.
