Your first R-rated movie

My first R-rated movie was The Thomas Crown Affair when I was 13. My mom watched it because it had Pierce Brosnan in it and let me watch it with her cause she didn't know that it was rated R.

 

CLASSIC MOVIE !!!!

I love seeing the generational differences in the many answers on here. I don't know if I can remember which movie was first. I was at a very impressionable age when our town first received HBO as a cable option. Ohh the movies I saw at such a young age. "Porky's", "Making Love", the list could go on and on with what the early "80's did to me.

 

I'm not actually sure, to be honest. I remember bits and pieces, from when I was really young, and those bits and pieces come from:

Friday the 13th films, A Nightmare on Elm Street films, and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films; the original ones, that is. House, Creepshow 1 & 2, and various Stephen King films, like IT, Maximum Overdrive, and Cujo. I can recall other scenes, but couldn't tell you what film they came from.

I had a babysitter, growing up, that tended to watch Horror films a lot, so I got an early start. I couldn't have been older than 6 or 7.

Notably, I saw Cannibal Holocaust pretty young. That film is just... unnecessarily brutal, but it does have a point to it. Problem is, they stress that point waaaaaaaaaaaay too much. But it wasn't my first, and technically, that film isn't R -- it's above that.

 

i saw Apocalypto when i was 8.

 

South Park: Bigger, Badder, Uncut, i think is its full tile and at 8, had to sneak and watch it though

 

I don't remember exactly, but it was probably sometime in high school, though even then I maybe saw only a couple before college. My parents hardly even watch R rated movies by themselves. And due to my upbringing, the level of swearing and sex in adult movies bothered me for years after I did start seeing them. I still don't watch movies with graphic violence, but have lightened up a bit on everything else.

 

The first R-rated movie I saw was Zombieland when I was 15.

 

I think it might have been the Blues Brother's. Anyway, for some reason, my family and I never saw it as being a R-rated film. Other R-rated films, were pretty much deemed off limits to me and I remembering bitching about that a lot as a kid.

 

Me, Myself & Irene

I was probably around ten when I first watched it... Might not have been the first R rated movie I saw though, someone's mentioned Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo which I also remember seeing quite early. Or Man on the Moon. My parents weren't fussy about nudity and strong language to be honest.

The reason I remember Me, Myself & Irene so well is because in fifth grade we had to do a project about ourselves and I'd tacked a print-out of the DVD cover on my poster and written 'my favorite movie' above it. Then one of my classmates came up to me and said 'Woah, your parents let you watch that?!'. If I remember correctly, he had a really violent film as his favorite movie, one that my parents had forbidden me to watch – funny how cultures differ like that (he was American while I'm from northern Europe).

 

I can't tell. In other countries, outside the States, they use other rating system

But I remember that one of the first movies with the highest rating I ever saw was "Girl, Interrupted". However, the first movie that convinced me to keep watching movies meant for children like me (at the time), was "Boys don't cry". That rape scene!

 

The Sitter back in 2011 when I was almost 13. The movie sucked.

 

My dad took me to see Let Me In for my tenth birthday. Let's just say my parents might have needed a bigger bed... I don't do horror movies or gore, and of course this was both. It was actually a good movie but the effects freaked me out quite a lot. :icon_redf

 

It was either Evilenko or Goodbye Lenin, both when I was 10.

 

Halloween

 

I think it was bad Santa few Christmas ago with my brother . also lost boys god that film is cool as hell.

 

The first one I can remember was Friends with Benefits or something like that. I was probably 13 or so. It had sexual stuff in it, but it was so....straight, I felt disappointed, and couldn't figure out why.

 

Jaws *ugh* ...my sister begged our grandmother to take us.

The first one I went to with a friend was Alien...much better use of underage R-movie viewing.

 

Python Movie
I remember learning how to use the VHS player just to watch this movie when my parents arent around

 

Hansel and Gretel. My mom thought it was PG-13. Once she heard it was rated R, she thought: ''fuck it.'', because all the other movies in the cinema were crap. So we watched it.

Horrible. Hated it. Too much gore, and an unnecessary boob scene, of course.

 

I assume "R" is the American version of the English 18 rating? If so it was Poltergeist before my age had even hit double figures! I have ALWAYS loved horror! I love it!
