"An American Werewolf In London" was rated R? I never saw that film, but I didn't know it got an R-rating.

Well, since I'm old enough, it doesn't much matter to me. [Smile]

gizmo-- i have a twin sister as well. I think NOES 3 was the only one we owned. I wouldn't be suprised if that was my first R movie. Just thought that was strange. It was either that or Aliens. My older sister wanted to be Newt. She got the movie one Christmas... supposedly it was from Santa.

My parents were never strict about what we watched as kids, I pretty much saw everything. The first R rated that really had a effect on me was "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". This movie taught me what sex was. My parents taped it off showtime and it quickly became my brother and mine's favorite movie.

I'm not sure if i saw them before Fast times but also Conan (I dressed up as him for halloween), American Werewolf, and Amityville Horror I saw very young as well. Also a little horror movie called "curtains". Not sure if any of you have seen it.

Hey Wizard,

This is the same as me.
I had a birthday sleepover when I was about 10/11 and me and all my mates watched this before going outside in the garden to sleep in tents.
About 4 of the girls woke up having nightmares, one girl was totally in floods of tears and wanted to go home, one ended up top and tailing with my sister in the house because she was too scared to sleep outside.

Ruined my birthday:(

Well kiddies Im going to really REALLY date myself now.
While Im not certian whether it was R rated or not, going by todays standards it would be. The first R rated movie I seen was when I was 5 or 6. It was at the Drive In and it was the 1968 classic "Night Of The Living Dead" I wasnt supposed to be watching it, I was supposed to be asleep in the back seat of the car while my folks were watching it. The scene that Ill never forget was when they were taking the truck to get gas and it exploded and the zombies were eating the people. I still think that is the most horrifying piece of cinematography ever.

I can't remember which one was first- I think Silent Scream and The Legacy and He Knows Your Alone, I was in 7th grade when HBO came out, and we used to set the alarm clock and sneek downstairs to watch Rated R movies..I remember seeing Looking For Mr. GoodBar, 10 to Midnight and Silent Rage. One movie that I haven't haerd mentioned yet on here, but we watched in high school, was Monty Python's The Meaning of Life- that was a whacked out movie. I have never seen Night of the Living Dead, it was filmed the year I was born, in my home state- and I saw pictures in a horror magazine that my Uncle had-and that alone scared me so bad, that there was no way I could watch the movie. My Uncle was into horror movies, and had this creepy mask and he would come to our house-and wore this railroad conductor's jumpsuit, and would knock on the door, and scare the heck out of me and my friends. But it was all fun!!

Yeah thanks RP4L for making me feel just a little older by naming a movie that was just released a mere 8 years ago.  -

Devolution here,

Isis, is that Silent Rage with Chuck Norris that you are talking about???

As for my first R rated movie.

Trading Places and Conan the Barbarian in the same night.

Poltergeist isn't that far off.

We are DEVO and Chuck rules.

Devo- Silent Rage with Chuck Norris, yep-that was a scary movie, that murderer was like one of the creepiest killers from a movie- he looked the part.

Wasn't Poltergiest PG or Pg-13? I swear I saw somewhere that Jobeth Williams said they used "real" skeletons in the pool scene she's in-where she slides back down the mud- would that be even legal? It didn't sound like it could be possible. I can never watch the part where the steak slides across the counter, or where the guy pulls the hunks of skin off his face, yucky!

In the UK we have an easy set of ratings for films, U (Universal, for all), PG (Parental Guidance), 12, 15, 18.
But Wizard, before 1982, the certificates were U, A, AA, X (showing my age here). I grew up in Ireland and we pretty much followed the UK's categorisation. So I guess the equivalent would have been an 'X' - no under 18s.

So to get to the point it was either 'Mad Max' or 'Alien' (but the projectionist mislaid the 3rd or 4th reel so I never got to see the chest-burster sequence until about 1987 - True Story). And their effects well I'm still watching movies...

Oh, yes..."Carnal Knowledge" (1971), with Jack Nicholson, Art Garfunkel, Ann-Margaret, and a then-unknown Candice Bergen. Perhaps you probably needed the...um, "therapy" what Rita Moreno gave to Jack Nicholson at the end of that movie? [Smile]

In all seriousness, that movie was kinda disturbing to watch, especially for guys!

Yet, it seems that guys haven't changed much since that movie came out. There have, there is, and there will always be male "pigs" such as the Jonathan character (played by Nicholson).

I highly recommended it, but only if you have the stomach for it. But it's definitely NOT a "feel good" movie!

I don't quite recall. Funny story though, I convinced my grandparents to take me to see Risky business in the theatre when it was first released. I had never seen them squirm so much!!!! This was hot on the trails of a discussion of old movies from the '40's and there is Tom Cruise in his Hanes doing the 'old time rock-n-roll'....I don't know if they ever told my parents or not but it sure was funny to watch them....somewhat more than the movie!!!

Hey McFly, mine was Purple Rain, too, at least, the first I paid on my own to see. I was 14 and armed with Aqua Net and eye liner and no one even questioned how old me and my friend, Jennifer, were.

Was Jaws rated R? My mom took me with her on a date to the drive in, and I fell asleep in the back seat, and when I woke up, she was kissing the guy in the front seat and on the movie screen were bloody bits and pieces of the shark sinking in the water. I went back to sleep. I think I was about five.

Once, my parents threw all four of us kids in the Ranchero and we all went to the drive in (I'm starting to see a pattern here!) to see Nice Dreams. I remember that even though I got the humour, I wasn't that interested in it at the time, you know, not being a crack whore and all! LOL

"Jaws" was rated PG. You probably would've been more scared if you saw it inside a theater! [Wink]

I do love drive-ins, but some films simply aren't meant to be enjoyed there.

...........when I got older...Junior High I had a best friend whose Aunt only spoke Spanish. We would get her to take us to "dirty" movies and she would fall asleep (mostly because she couldnt understand what the people were saying!). The two I most clearly remember going to see with "Auntie" chaperoning were "A Night In Heaven"(Christopher Atkins as a male stripper) and REVENGE OF THE NERDS. oh wait...think we saw BACHELOR PARTY with her too!
