	Battle Royale (2001)
The whole plot revolves around kids murdering each other. Awesome.
	Beware! Children at Play (1989)
Doesn't really pay off until the very end, but it's totally worth it.
	Pet Sematary (1989)
That creepy little kid from Full House gets hit by a truck.
	Funny Games (1997)			Not Rated
A child is murdered in front of his parents, followed by the most brilliant use of a long silence I've ever seen.
	Man Bites Dog (Criterion Collection) (1991)			Not Rated
The cover of this DVD makes it look like he shoots an infant, and although it's an awesome cover, it's misleading and no infants are actually killed. But there is a kid-killing, though, probably around 8 or 9 years old.
	Maximum Overdrive (1986)
This film gets a bad rap, but it really shouldn't. It's got little kids being killed by a vending machine shooting out sodas, how bad could it be?
	The Toxic Avenger (1985)
Kid on a bicycle gets run over.
	Jaws (1975)
Kid gets eaten by a shark.
	Eraserhead (1977)			Not Rated
According to Mary X, "they're still not sure it is a baby!", but it's close enough.
	Ichi the Killer (2001)			Not Rated
The kid being killed scene turns out to be imagined, but we still get to see Ichi holding the kid's scalp for a second.
	Mad Max (1979)
A mother and child are run over by a motorcycle? Nothing's shown, and I was a little unclear on how you could collide right into someone w/ a motorcycle and just keep going. Seems like the motorcycle would topple over or at least be slowed down a bit.
	Dogville (2003)
This is another one that only sort of counts, b/c the baby is imaginary.
	City of God (2002)
And not yet available on DVD: Andy Warhol's Bad - featuring a baby being thrown out a window. ----------------------------- The movies listed below are ones I've been told have child murders in them, but I've never actually seen them myself, yet.
	Dawn of the Dead (Unrated Director's Cut) (2004)			Not Rated
	The Beyond (1981)			Not Rated
	The Hunger (1983)
	Battle Royale II: Requiem (2003)			Not Rated
	Super Badass			Not Rated
