    When kill bill first showed up on TVy dad saw it and forbid me to watch it because of how violent it was

    Like a year later he told me he found a really good movie I should watch with him and it was kill bill and he emphatically refused ever banning me from seeing it

    the first r-rated movie I ever saw in theaters was eraser

    but like, I watched terminator with my mom when I was like...jeez, I dunno, I guess I must have been like ten, since eraser came out in '96 and I'd definitely seen it before then

    Thinking back, my parents were SUPER strict about letting me watch inappropriate stuff

    I think around the time I convinced them to let me play GTA San Andreas was when they threw up their hands and said "fuck it"

    The first rated R movie I remember seeing was the Titanic. We had it on VHS when I was like 4 or 5.


    And I think The Matrix was the first one I saw in theaters. We went to the movies MULTIPLE times to see it because my mom and aunt were obsessed with it!

    My parents gave me a pretty long leash on things to watch (and games to play, I think). Weirdly, they banned the Simpsons? Or I remember them banning the Simpsons, but it might be that they thought it was stupid and didn't want to watch, because we had Simpsons video games?

    I should have to give my usual warning that I am A Young Person and therefore the time periods of such things may make you angry

    My parents always encouraged stuff that was almost certainly inappropriate for me

    I was the one who chose not to watch that stuff

    My parents wanted me to watch The 40 Year-Old Virgin with them when I was like, 13

    And I don't wanna watch that movie with them now, I sure as hell wasn't gonna then

    The only thing they outright said I am not allowed was the GTA games, which I actually agreed with

    I never agreed with anyone when they claimed certain media wasn't appropriate for me. :P

    Well, in theaters it was Kung Fu Hustle, but before that I saw some kind of shitty coming of age thing on the bus on a school trip. Can't even remember the name of the film, or any details, beyond it being the kind of film that didn't do much to earn an R, but it's been a minor irritant at the back of my brain every time there's a conversation like this. I almost saw Alien right before I left for the school trip. But no. I had to have some film that I can't even remember the title of at the top of the list instead.

    I mean, unless I count "My Left Foot".

    My first R-rated movie was either Pretty Woman or Robocop, and my first in theatres was Braveheart.

    I saw Titanic at a drive-in with a Boy Scout troop when it was like, 35 degrees out or something. A bunch of them went to sit in the heated car, but for some reason, I was like, "no, I'm going to sit outside and experience these frigid temperatures like the people on the actual Titanic," and then the movie ended and I went and slept in a tent, which, not actually much warmer.

    First R movie I ever saw was True Lies. The second was probably Terminator 2.

    The first PG-13 movie I ever saw was Jurassic Park. And oh fucking boy was that a hoot.

    Titanic is R Rated?

    In the UK it's rated 12.

    Titanic is rated PG-13. Notable because it was a PG-13 movie you could go and see boobs in.

    There are three good parts to that movie

    the first is the part with the boobs (obvs)

    the second is when the funnel falls on that guy

    and the third is when the guy falls off the back of the boat and hits the propeller with that comedy dong!

    Here's a drinking game.

    Everytime someone shouts, and they have to shout, "Rose!" in Titanic take a shot.

    Congratulations! You are now dead.

    Which, to be quite honest, is a bit of a dick move.

    I remember watching Cobra with my dad before my parents were divorced, which makes me 10 or younger.

    I was also going to say Batman 1989 but apparently that is PG-13

    That is a very violent and disturbing PG-13

    Dark Knight was also PG-13.

    You can get away with a lot of violence when you steer away from gore and blood.

    Incidentally, I kicked off my Film Festival viewing with Ghibli's When Marnie was There.

    I don't think it will go down as one of their instant classics with universal appeal as Spirited Away or Totoro were, but it is certainly strong enough and poignant enough and excellent enough that it will probably find a cadre of dedicated fans for whom it is their absolute favourite of the stable's titles.

    I would probably recommend it, as it was beautiful and expertly done as always, but with a warning that as it unfolds you might get a punch to the sads. On a scale from 'Dog in a cast' to 'Swamps of Eternal Sadness', I actually found parts of the last act somewhat slightly more emotionally moving than the opening montage of Up. But overall it's wonderful and excellent, and well worth the watching if you're into Ghibli films.

    First R movie I saw that had any impact on me I can recall: An American Werewolf in London. When I was 5. (Thanks, cousins!) I refused to walk past a dark room with the door open that night because of that.

    My mom used to tape movies for me that I wanted to see but she would edit out the "bad" parts. I still don't know how she did it so nearly perfectly, but the first one she did was Conan the Barbarian when I was like 8. I just remember years later coming across the VHS and laughing because she apparently just said "fuck it" and left the entire orgy/kidnapping scene intact because she wasn't sure if there was actually any nudity in that scene (there was).

    First start-to-finish R film was Aliens. My mom worked at a video rental store and was able to take out anything for free, so I got to see a lot of stuff. Only reason I saw that before Alien is that the wrong movie was in the case. She went back and grabbed It after we finished Aliens.

    I think the first one I saw in a theater was Robocop 2? I'm having trouble remembering which it was because I had seen so many at home or at my friend's house prior to age 13.

    I don't even remember my first R movie. It may actually have been Titanic, thinking about it. At cousin's hotel suite the night before she got married. Me and my sister were staying there for a few hours while people ran around doing stuff. This would've been like a year after it came out.

    Where is Titanic rated R? It's always been PG-13 since it came out as far as I recall.

    Also, Death Proof was great. The first half was a slow burn with one of the more horrific "holy shit!" moments I've seen. The second half was bananas.

    Also also, I think Meryl Streep may have jumped the shark. Ricki and the Flash looks absolutely dreadful, and she looks bad in it. Edit: I take it back. Jumping the shark implies there's no coming back. She could easily be great again. But hoo boy, the douche chills I get from that TV spot...

    Either something is really weird about US R-rating or R there does NOT mean what it means here/Australia.

    ... I have no idea what the first R movie I saw was, but I remember thinking Meaning of Life was a bit outre when I was 7 or 8.

    So I'm on vacation right now, and there are two films showing in the local theater: Ant-Man and Pixels.

    I just narrowly avoided my dad making a push for Pixels by asking him "When was the last time Adam Sandler actually made a decent comedy movie?"

    And then I showed him the Rotten Tomatoes score.

    "Okay, maybe I'll Netflix it," he replied.
