What was your first R-rated movie?

Verbatim · October 20, 2015, 09:38:22 AM

I remember being a kid, and everyone in my grade was just fascinated with R-rated movies. We wondered why we weren't allowed to see them, and what they could have possibly contained. But above all, we wanted to watch them--and having seen an R-rated movie by yourself with no parental accompaniment was considered a very "cool" thing to do.

As a kid, I followed the rules--I knew I wasn't allowed to watch R-rated films until I was 17, so I never did, unless my parents explicitly allowed it. I stopped caring when I became a teenager, and to this day, it still upsets me that kids are watching R-rated films without their parents' permission. Anyway, I digress:

My first R-rated film was Stand by Me. I saw it when I was about 7 or 8, and... this movie definitely would not be rated R by today's standards. Literally the only thing about it is that it contains a bunch of middle school kids swearing like sailors--something I also refrained from doing until I became a teenager, but most other kids I knew swore all the time when they were with their peers. But that was it. Definitely not R-worthy--more like PG-13.

The matrix my mom was there though so it was a little awkward.

Sideways?

Alone? Aliens, when I was seven or eight. My parents weren't home and that was the only interesting thing on.

Thought you'd be at least 20 for some reason.

Nightmare on Elm Street. The original, not the reboot. Shit gave me nightmares when I was 5.

Not too sure how the yank system lines up with ages and the like, but assuming R-rated is the equivalent to an 18 cert. It'd be Braindead or maybe American Psycho, I can't quite remember which one came first but I watched them at a friend's house at a reasonably early age. Probably around 12-13.

Mat Cauthon · October 20, 2015, 10:16:03 AM

Analyse This (Or That, whichever came first) most likely.

Ásgeirr · October 20, 2015, 10:18:09 AM

Matrix i think

Elai · October 20, 2015, 10:24:16 AM

I've never given much thought to ratings. Especially since Canada's system is different.

In all likeliness I watched my first porno before my first R-rated movie.

I don't remember what the movie was called but my brother turned on this one movie about Satan and Satanists when we were both pretty young, my mom was sitting a few rooms away and halfway through the movie a crazy sex scene came on and me and my brother ran from the too laughing and screaming.

I could have been older thann 8, so my brother was about....14?

Saving Private Ryan.

velox · October 20, 2015, 11:52:51 AM

Jaws, I think.

edit: nvm Jaws isn't r-rated

Naru · October 20, 2015, 11:54:30 AM

Wow, that's hard to believe. You'd think a thriller like that would be R for sure--especially in the mid-'70s.

The Terminator

Busta Nut · October 20, 2015, 12:00:21 PM

I seriously have no idea. The only time I remember anyone mentioning a movie rating in my childhood was when I watched A.I. Artificial Intelligence at the theater with my mother when I was like six.

BaconShelf · October 20, 2015, 12:03:37 PM

I think it was 28 days later.

Dietrich Six · October 20, 2015, 12:15:35 PM

Probably some cheesy 80s horror movie. Watched a lot of those as a wee lad.

I'm pretty sure it was the Evil Dead 2. One heck of a movie to start off with.
