I saw "The Shining" when I was five. I remember it being a lot scarier than it really is.

Yeah, i saw it for the first time just recently. It really was quite tame wasnt it.

I cant remember. . .but I remember the first movie I ever saw with sex in it! It had Selma Heyak and Antonio Banderas [sp?]. Was it Desperado?

for me it was 'the best little whore houes in texas'. tee hee

the first r movie i have seen was gladiator and it will forever hold a place in my top five

Batman

Yeah, which Batman movie was that? Doesn't matter, as none of them have been R-rated.

Quick question: How old do you have to be to (legally) watch 'R' rated movies in cinemas in the US? And what does NC-17 rating mean? (Ok, that was 2 quick questions...)

An R rating means you have to be seventeen, unless you're accompanied by a parent or guardian. That's why when I was eleven my Dad was able to take me to any R-rated movie he thought was acceptable.

NC-17, which replaced the old X rating in America, means "No Children Seventeen and Under". Period.

Is NC-17 mainly for porn and few cinema releases actually get rated that?

I don't know what decade you think this is, but there aren't many porn theatres anymore...other than the booth kind that take quarters. Pornography is all about the internet and DVD.

But pornography isn't ever "rated", anyway. Not surprisingly the folks who make stuff like Buttmaster 12 don't submit their films to the MPAA for a rating. What would be the point? The X rating, when it was originally created in the late 1960s with the other ratings, was meant to signal "adult" material. But these were the days before Deep Throat and Behind the Green Door, so "adult" did NOT mean pronography. It was for movies such as Johnn Schlessinger's Midnight Cowboy and Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.

But after the success of Deep Throat and the explosion of the cinematic porn industry, they started advertising their officially un-rated movies as being rated XXX. The triple X was not a copyright infringement so the MPAA couldn't stop them from using it, but what it did was conflate the legitimate X rating and pornography.

After the rise of the XXX sex industry, many towns and theater chains banned any and all movies carrying an X rating from being shown, as a matter of either zoning or policy. What they were really banning were the un-rated sex films that branded themselves XXX, and not anything the MPAA thought should earn their X. But since so many theaters wouldn't run and newspapers wouldn't advertise anything with an X on it, legitimate movie producers stopped seeing it as an option by the late '70s and into the '80s. While Midnight Cowboy won the Oscar for Best Picture as an X in 1970, by 1980 there was no Studio that wanted to deal with it.

That's why the NC-17 was created in 1990, to give the MPAA another rating that meant exactly what their X used to mean, but without all the stigma of the so-called XXX pornography. Unfortunately many of the big theater chains and smaller towns still refuse to run or advertise NC-17 movies, meaning if a film is released with it that it has an automatically much more limited number of screens that can show it. Even if they wanted to, the fourteen-screen suburbian multiplex isn't generally allowed to screen an NC-17 movie, ever. Stupid.

Since 1990 a few films have gone ahead and been released with the rating anyway. The most successful, financially, was Showgirls, which made about $20-million in U.S. box office.

It's different here in Canada.

We have 14A, 18A, then R.

Suspect's Reviews

First R-rated film I saw on video was Lethal Weapon 2. Don't ask why or how, I just know it was this random film.

As for the theatre, probably the remake of Shaft.

Yeah, but mostly nothing is ever bad enough to even get the R. Running Scared with Paul Walker is the last one I remember getting it, and before then it was probably The Dreamers (the cut version) or Kill Bill Vol. 1.

Even the wildly unrated version of Egoyan's Where the Truth Lies got an 18A.

Weird how it gets 18A everywhere else in Canada but Ontario.

-Running Scared

Side note: I'm the proud owner of a limited V.I.P edition Showgirls.

But that's like everything with the provinces. They always give crazy ratings out.

Hell, most of the movies that are 14A-18A in Ontario and other provinces, are like rated G in Quebec.

my first r rated movie was hannibal. its about a man who ate humans. My mum and dad had bought it and were watching so i did as well
