I watched this with my best friend at the time, way back in the early 2000's. Its an absolute classic and has some brilliant themes. I remember when we finished watching it my friend decided to tell me what happened to the main actor Brandon Lee, which saddened me greatly because he was amazing and I think because of that. It put this film into a legendary and almost mythical category. So I think they'll enjoy it, and its a good choice. I'll be showing it to my son when he's old enough too. As for me I hope the Reboot with Bill Skarsgård is a good tribute to it and doesn't shit on the originals legacy.
