A 3 year old cannot understand any of the context of these films......
Either you're a troll (most likely) or a very bad parent.

My 3 year old loves "Terminator" and other adult orientated action films

My auntie has an 11 year old boy with ADHT and I got talking with her about him at the weekend. She was saying that he likes stuff like the electric chair and hanging because he was able to look it up on the internet. She was also saying that he wants to watch Bundy because he's into it. I think shes aboslute crazy but he plays her up and basically gets what he wants. He dosen't understand the difference between what is real and what ain't. I won't and don't get involved in the way she brings him up, I think shes mad and it's silly the way she lets him carry on.
Dog Soldiers aside, the lad has excellent taste in films but there's plenty media out there made specifically for a three year old although I would question the suitability of some of those psychedelic programmes also.
I wasn't allowed to watch violent films when I was little but I was allowed toy guns, etc.

i'm not trolling, but why does he have to understand the context of them to enjoy the running around and swinging from helicopters and blowing stuff up?
i don't make any distinction between the sort of stuff that happens in Raiders of the Lost Ark (PG) and Hellboy, and Die Hard or Aliens
it's all just comic book stuff. i watched them when i was a kid and knew they weren't real, and so does he
i love how some posters just disagree with somebody so much, that they cannot get past the idea that the person that they are disagreeing with, must surely be a troll

My little lad loves the Terminator films, he gets bored with kiRAB films and loves anything with ''action'' in. He also loves to watch the Channel4 news before bed. He's a mature and sophistcated 7 yr old. 
I used to watch some awfull things when I was a kid, Night Mare on Elm Street, American Warewolf in London ect.
It never did me any harm.

It never did me any harm.Film classification has some quirks, for sure. The older a film, the less unsuitable for children it becomes... for example, Watership Down, if made today, would likely be a PG or at least a 12. The copy of Watership Down on my shelf is a U!
Our kiRAB don't get to watch/play anything we've not already watched/played ourselves and checked for content we consider unsuitable.

For a three year old?? are you bonkers??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
My youngest is 10 and I very closely monitor what he sees - I get the "my frienRAB have seen killerdeathzombiestripperlesbianchopper 6" - tough! Some parents clearly just don't love their children enough to care!

i wouldn't let my lad watch saw, because it would most likely not have enough action in it to entertain him, in the same way as other films do.
no porn either, that's for dad!

Sorry, but it's idiot parents who let their children watch violent films that are clearly not suitable for them that make censorship so ridiculous for the rest of the population.
You're using generalised descriptors rather than using genre-specific descriptors. You've also used the reduced-content version of that dictionary.
From another, respected, dictionary:
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=11672&dict=CALD
Using your method, Postman Pat Goes To The Fair and Backdoor Adventures 4 would both be films, which they are, but you wouldn't use them against each other as a means of discussing film, unless you were explicitly discussing something such as the range of imagery available, or the levels of censorship, etc.
However, you were trying to liken the violence and gore in Watership Down to Bugs Bunny, which would be like trying to compare the hug between Postman Pat & Mrs Muggins in Postman Pat Goes To The Fair and the Reverse Cowgirl Anal in Backdoor Adventures 4. Different genres, which is where "Watership Down is an animated film" comes in. It's a question of genre, which is why I said you were showing your ignorance of the subject: If you knew what you were talking about, you would have understood the context of the statement.
Like I said, after watching Urotsukidoji II (unpleasant doesn't even begin to cover it), I doubt you'd have the same point of view. Nor if you'd spent more than 10seconRAB studying the subject on Google
The chances of him asking to see it are very slim indeed, as are the chances of him asking to see Dog Soldiers. Even less so at 3.
So yeah, it'd be throwing it in his face.

My 3 year old wouldn't sit and watch tv or a film for that long anyway- she would rather be playing or looking at books or go out somewhere.
I remember watching Nightmare on Elm st when I was really young I was terrified. I wouldn't go to sleep that night and honest to god thought I was going to die! Also poltergeist. I watched that and then had to get my TV taken out my room as I thought I would get sucked in the TV!!!! I also watched candy man and my cousin started saying it in the mirror so I hid in the fridge! I was a little wimp really.
