No mention of Lolita. Sue Lyon was 14 when she played the role.

Or Pretty Baby. How Brooke turned out as normal as she is defies logic. I knew her dad - played a lot of golf w/ him and taught him. I think her Mom was the problem there.

Also, no mention of the movie “Kids”, which was a theatre release that caused an uproar in 1995.

That’s because:

A) Sue Lyon was actually 16, though she was playing a 14-year-old (which is an adaptive age-up from the book).

B) “A little child nudity, a child’s having a precocious crush on an adult, or even a crime story involving child rape and/or prostitution do not make the movie all about kiddie sex.” (Arguably, it’s a crime story about statutory child rape.)

C) “We’re not talking about trashy movies in which teens played by twenty-somethings or even by actual teens get all wildly promiscuous on-screen, we’re talking about tweens and kids in the single digits doing the four-legged frolic.” (i.e. The child characters in question had to be under 13 for the movie to end up on the list.)
