R rated movies you remember seeing as a kid

[TheEnforcer]

Flipping through the channels on my DirecTV and came across this movie from 1980, Dressed To Kill, and it's right in the middle of the memorable shower scene with Angie Dickinson and man did I think she was hot back then. Ahhhh.. memories of my youth watching her naked in the shower and other stuff in that movie!! :P

[Hell Puppy]

Porky's.

Definitely Porky's.

That was GREAT movie for a horny teenager.

[TheEnforcer]

Yeah.. saw that one too!! Funny as all hell. That one came out two years later than Dressed To Kill.

[SykkBoy]

I loved after 10PM on HBO back in the good old days ;-)

movies like The Exorcist, Dressed To Kill (btw, Enforcer, there's a DTK special edition DVD coming out this month), Halloween, North Dallas Forty, so many :)

[MissEve]

My moms friends were the first ones I knew to get a VCR and they rented a bunch of movies and had everyone over. I remember SO clearly watching Risky Business while all of the adults were smoking pot and drinking wine and being SO excited that no one noticed the kids in the back of the room glued to the dirty movie!

[Yug]

Wild Orchid was one of the first naughty R rated movies i remember seeing as a kid ....

Commando was hte first action one ... fuck its funny watching that movie again today, it seem so TAME! They are doing more violent moves in pokemon on TV!


But the one i remember most is getting into a screening of 'Species' (rated MA in australia, means u cant see it unless ur over 15) ... i went to the ticket box and me and my mate bought a ticket, the lady said 'do u have id' we were like 'we left it in the car' and she said well u cant get in unless u show it to the guy who takes your tickets. So we went to go in and the guy took our tickets and he said 'did you show the girl at hte box office your ids'?

:rokk:

[HoneyBlond]

Rocky Horror Picture Show

How naughty was Frank in those fishnets, corset and makeup
:o

[Peaches]

One Flew Over the Cuckcoo's Nest.

9th or 10th grade I think.

Back in the old days you had to go to a movie theater to watch R rated movies :awinky: Emily O'Connell's mother took us. My parents still don't know :)

[pushpills]

halloween and friday the 13th movies scared me a bit when I was young. I remember that scene in one of the firday the 13th movies where they go into that shack and there's the decapitated heads used as candles. yikes!

now I love those movies and can't get scared having seen them too many times.

my mom rented us the crow per my suggestion as a kid, but after watching like 10 minutes took it back to the video store.

I remember my dad telling me how when he was young and psycho came out, my gramma took him to see it and he saw a lady in a bra!

[Mindoza]

Not a movie I remember as much as My aunts Richard Prior Albums...When ever she got in the shower my cousin and I would put it on low and put our ears up to the speaker and Laugh at stuff we did not even understand.

[DrGuile]

definitely Porky's...

[Forest]

Porky's and Jaws

jaws scarred me out of the water for years

[PornoDoggy]

I didn't get to see any R rated movies when I was a kid. :(

Of course ... R wasn't a rating when I was a kid.

[VooMan]

I remember seeing the Exorcist when it was on TV. I was 9 or 10 and it scared the living daylights out of me even though it was heavily edited. I didn't sleep a wink that night. hahaha

JAWS was PG-13 wasn't it? If not then that would be it for me cause I saw that when I was like 6 years old and I STILL won't go anywhere near the ocean.

I think Jaws was PG-13 (or GP or whatever they had back then that was under R). I saw it in HS when my mother wouldn't let me see R movies and she took us :)

BUT...not being the pansy TE is, I went to the beach that day and got into the ocean :awinky:

[SykkBoy]

Jaws was rated PG, although Spielberg was responsible for the creation of the PG-13 rating after outcry from Gremlins (which he produced and Joe Dante directed) and Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom (which he directed). The first movie released with a PG-13 was Red Dawn if I remember right....

yup I was 7 or 8. Born in 69

My cousin was 6 and he was scared to use the toilet cause he kept thinking jaws was going to come up from the toilet bowl. lol

[Red]

Boy this is going to really date me, but my parents took me with them to see The Graduate. I was only 13, but since I was a sophmore in HS, my folks didn't see a problem with it. What was really funny was my brother's girlfriend was 16 and her parent's wouldn't let my brother take her to see it.

all great movies that I remember from the early years of HBO....Pirahna was great...it was actually Joe Dante's homage to Jaws...

[Nickatilynx]

I'm old :(

I remember me and my best friend getting all dressed in suits to look older to go see "the Exorcist"

(the hype was huge , they had Ambulances outside some movie theatres because of the supposed shock etc , bring ID etc)

So we saw it , and then went to the pub and drank lager.

We spent our bus fare so we walked home. Well there was a shortcut through the graveyard that knocked about 10 mins off the walk.

We walked round it. :)

Tried watching the movie recently

First time I saw The Exorcist, it was making it's debut on HBO and they the typcial "R-rated Discalimer" where they told you the goodies the movie had that earned it an R rating, then they had an additional warning (kind of a "we really mean it this time" thing). I begged and begged my parents to let me watch it...
well, myself and my friends watched it (our parents were there as well) and I couldn't sleep for about a week after that....I was about 9 as were my friends and had been raised closely to the Mormon religion, so the movie was even scarier (I've always been afraid of Catholics anyways, this isn't something new to me ;-))

It also didn't help that I had a crush on Linda Blair at the time....

You has a crush on linda blair at 9???

At 9 I thought girls were annoying.

In fact I still do...but now I realise they have wobbly and squishy and wet bits , to compensate

yeah, my first movie star crush...

now I listen to music with singers that sound like the voice Mercedes McCambridge did for her in The Exorcist

I remember seeing Jaws when I was 12 or so. Saw it at a boardwalk theater in Ocean City, NJ no less. Yes, it was freakishly creepy and yes, people were not going in the water nearly as much.

For R rated movie, I remember Rollerball, the first movie I ever saw on this thing called Home Box Office. This crazy brown box you hooked to the back of the tv with a long wire and a row of mechanical buttons on the other large brown box "remote".

You could jam two buttons down together *just* right and unscramble the channels you werent paying for... shhhhhhhhhh dont tell anyone. :biglaugh:

Almost as fun as using an old UHF TV dial these days to tune in cell phones. shhhhhhhhhhhh :lol:

I think what made Jaws so scary was that you didn't see much of the shark and you didn't even see much of the victims being attacked, so your mind had to fill in the blanks (and of course that amazing score). A filmmaker today would probably avoid atmosphere and just create a big CGI shark and show us the attacks in extreme graphic closeups. It would lose it's effectiveness...and of course it would be labelled "boring" by today's attention span deficient teenieboppers who aren't into things like atmosphere and buildup...oh wait, that's happening already...even with The Exorcist...

[cj]

I can't remember any specifically ... I watched as many as I could - that was one of the benefits of having parents who were never home and stupid babysitters who beleived 'my parents let me watch their pornos' ;-)))

Good memory, you nailed it!

Red Dawn was the first movie released with the new rating, but Temple of Doom was the cause of the creation of the PG-13 rating. Spielberg made sure that he didn't put anything in the movie that would draw an R-rating, but the violence and such inspired the MPAA to create a rating between PG and R.

And horror movies have largely sucked ever since!

There's no way to do a PG rated horror movie. So the studios used to go with buckets of blood and bouncing naked teenage boobies. If you're gonna have an R-rating, might as well go for it!

However, teens love horror movies and to not pass up those dollars, the vast majority of horror movies that come out today are PG-13. Which means no real nudity and nothing that would truly constitute gore.

[sarettah]

What's an R rating ? When I was a kid we only had the movies and the talkies.... :blink:

Oh yeah almost forgot, we had dem dere nickleodeon thingies too....Used to love to look at them ladies in their bathing clothes.....

But for real risque stuff, I used to go buy a matinee ticket at Radio City... Those Rockettes are hot !!!!!
