2. The John Badham "Dracula", with Frank Langella.
My parents took me to see it, 'cause my mother was in love with him.

29. Mine too
Seeing Anne Bancroft's breasts was mahvelous.

Oh, and the stripper with the tassels spinning seemed amazing. Little did I know that I would be spinning some of my own 5 years later.

85. Was that movie actually rated?
I remember going to see it as a high school freshman with a friend. We were a little embarrassed when the lights came up and we realized that everyone else there was an adult!

14. As I recall, there is a scene....
where Steve Martin's character is at a car rental booth at the airport...where the word "fuck" is used quite freely.

I suspect that was the reason why it got an R rating.

The strange part is, it was a boarding school-sponsored trip. Apparently even they didn't care.

For months afterward I was known as "Stork". "Everybody thought Stork was brain-damaged..."

"Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?" To this day, I have not actually seen this movie.

Wonder if our moms actually believed that's what we went to see?

27. Some of us were around before there were ratings
I watched The Sand Pebbles, with Steve McQueen, by myself when I was about 8 or 9. Its a war movie with sex and violence so it would probably be rated R nowdays. I was a pretty serious kid- I watched the whole thing in a theatre.

48. I think that might have been mine too. 'cause I think I saw it before
"The Last Picture Show." Although when I was in junior high, which was before the current rating system started (movies would be rated "M-for mature audiences"), I saw "The Detective" with Frank Sinatra. I'm guessing that would have been rated 'R,' what with the scenes of gay men kissing. That was quite a shock to see as a junior high kid back then.

and I had that poster in my room for years. Really took me back, seeing it!

It wasn't R in Canada, though. But I saw Day of the Dead in the theatre, and that was certainly an R.

edited to add: and today is George A. Romero's birthday, I just found out. Hmm. Plate of shrimp.

Edited on Mon Feb-05-07 02:24 AM by Pushed To The Left
I was 10 years old when I saw RB! My dad regretted taking us to that one, because he didn't realize how explicit it was. Of course, being a 10 year old boy, I certainly enjoyed the movie! I believe we saw "Blade Runner" around the same time, but I don't recall which was first. My dad says he had taken my sister and I to an R-rated movie called "Minute by Minute" when we were younger, but I didn't remember anything about it (may have slept through it).

I snuck in with my friends. We were such rebels.


No, not really. :(

82. Marathon Man
Imagine a 12-year-old girl seeing a guy garotted with piano wire.

What a prick. My lame-ass excuse for a parent dragged me there as consolation for the Angels' game he didn't get tickets to and which was sold out. What an asshole.

84.  A little off topic, but a favorite family story is about the time my
uncle took my aunt to see Midnight Cowboy.




He thought it was a western!

93. "Crimson Tide"
Which my mom took me to see when I was about eight. She just told me that under no circumstances was I to say "bullshit" ever at any time.

The first R rated movie I bought tix for on my own was Bowling for Columbine. I was underage at the time, but I was wearing my high school senior's letter jacket, so I guess they figured I didn't steal that or anything. Never asked me for ID.

95. Don't remember the name. Something with "Witch" in the title.
It was the second movie at a drive in after "The Crater Lake Monster". My two step-brothers and I were in the back seat of the family car at the Showboat Drive-In Theater in Springfield Ohio. We watched "Crater Lake", and then the next movie started. We were greeted with gratuitous tits and a sex scene, at which point my mom decided that we needed to go home. We giggled about it for weeks afterwards.

97. That's easy: "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice"
Went with a friend of mine. We were both fourteen, and scared to death that the management would find out we were underage at a showing of an "R"-rated movie, LOL!

100. The Matrix
I was actually three or four months from being 17 at the time, but I didn't get carded. I'm not sure if I saw any other "R"'s when I was underage; maybe a handful...
