I remember seeing my first rated R movie - I must have been around 12 or 13 years old?
It was in the movie theater - 1976 I remember my Dad taking me and my brother and a couple of friends - it was the Western - The Last Hard Men with Charlton Heston and James Coburn - I think it might have been a bit too graphic for me at my age - there was some violence and cursing but it was not too bad
I have no ideaā¦I know I had friends who were watching R rated horror films by third gradeā¦but I always chickened out when invited and feigned a stomach ache or something. I would guess I was probably about 10 or 11 when I watched my first R rated movie. No clue what it might have been though.
Nothing compared to what kids these days are exposed to thoughā¦I would never have guessed did I not know.

Yeah I grew up up in a different time - back then it was a big deal - these days kids are exposed to more adult like movies earlier - I am glad that my long term memory has been working better lately - I remember the event like it happened yesterday
I actually canāt remember my first R rated film. Itās been years and years since Iāve been anywhere near a theater. My last time in a theater I had a meltdownā¦ it wasnāt pretty.
Now I have to be extra careful with films.
Any bloodā¦ violenceā¦ gross stuffā¦ plotting to kill or kidnapā¦ horrorā¦ I canāt do it. War moviesā¦ horror moviesā¦ too much for me to take.

I remember having a huge panic attack during the movie Orca - I was a kid - I ran out of the theater, my cousin who was visiting me from Europe ran after me - it was a mess!
Orcaā¦ that would get to me tooā¦ since there are a lot of Orcaās in our waters.
The one that did me in was a war movie and it was pretty intense. I just lost it. Too much for me and my girlfriend was happily tripping on something and didnāt even notice me having a melt down.

I was in third grade. My parents brought me to a movie called āThe Night They Raided Minskyāsā. The movie was about the first topless stripper/dancer. My parents were not weird for bringing me there, it was a comedy and the ONLY reason it was rated āRā was because in the last minutes of the movie a vaudeville actress (in the movie) dropped her top and for two seconds she was toplessā¦

āDeliveranceāā¦I was about 13. Completely freaked me out although I did later learn to play the banjo because of the great scene of bluegrass in that movie. haha

I just wonāt watch porn, donāt even like the ālight pornā thatās in some moviesā¦
That said, I have no clue what my first R movie wasā¦probably some sick twisted horror when I was in boarding school maybe age 14 - 15. I remember one that showed necrophilia in itā¦

I saw that movie when I was 14 with my friends. I believe Burt Reynolds starred in it.
Deliverance was a good movie - I remember seeing it a couple of times
My first R rated film in the theatre was The Terminator. Epic. Managed to get in while underage, but completely worth it.
10-96

I think mine was Bram Stokerās Dracula with Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins in 1992.
My dad covered my eyes through the explicitly sexual stuff.

I think it was the Exorcist. I was 11, at a sleepover with my best friend at the time. That movie horrified me, Iām pretty sure my eyes were closed for about 75 percent of it hahaha. Still freaks me out to this day.

Is it weird that I always thought those killer puppet movies were hilarious. I donāt know why but something as silly as a doll being evil and trying to kill people just seemed so silly to me as a kid.

Well, since it was a television adaptation, it had no rating, but, I was in love with the movie āItā when I was 4.
