What was the first R-rated movie you ever saw?

[wyldwolf]

1975 - Race with the Devil

I was seven and thought the devil worshipers were chanting "Eee I eee I ohhh"

1. Blazing Saddles

I saw it 4 times at the Drive In.

[mucifer]

25. Me too! (Well not the drive in part).

I saw it with my parents. 9 years old.

2. Airport 1970

I saw 2001 in 1968 but it was not rated, since the MPAA introduced the R rating on 11-1-1968.

3. The Godfather (1972)

Me and my friends were nudging each other and giggling during Sonny's sex scene with the maid-of-honor (NOT his wife)

4. Terminator nt

5. I started thinking about this

and my eldest brother took me to see some Drive In movie but I don't remember if that was before or after I saw "Blazing Saddles." What I do remember is that my sick in the head brother took me to see some sort of Exploitation movie and the only scene I remember was some woman stabbing a guy in the crotch with a fork.

I also had one of my brothers take me to see 1972 "The Last House on the Left." I'm thinking that might have been a re-release because I don't think he would have taken me to see that when I was 12 years old. Now that my weird memory is back I also saw "Walking Tall" and that was 1973.

I guess "Blazing Saddles" wasn't my first R-rated movie.

This all seems so odd to me looking back on the dates these movies played because when I was really young they used to take me to see those Vincent Price "Poe" movies and I would spend the whole time hiding behind the seat in front of me. Because of Price's voice it probably made the movie more scary not actually seeing the screen.

6. Double feature of "The Shining" and "Altered States"

Well, and people wonder how I came out the way I do....

[wyldwolf]

7. I saw a sneak preview of The Shining in a very COLD movie theater...

... added to the mood of the movie.

[Taverner]

8. Ooooh you got to see the version with all the stuff Kubrick cut out later...

Longer barroom scene, more focusing on Indian blankets...

[wyldwolf]

9. I suppose I did. I didn't see it again until several years later on HBO.

[RebelOne]

12. Never On Sunday

[Mr.Bill]

13. Woodstock

It was rated R for language and nudity, I believe.

[mrmpa]

14. Before the "R" rating there was the "M"................

No one under 16 could be admitted. I was 15 and saw Deliverance. I was a Junior in High School. A small Catholic all girls school. We received our class rings, had a Mass to celebrate this event, and then had the rest of the day off. Five of us went into town for lunch and to see a movie, everyone I was with was 16, I wouldn't turn 16 for another week. It was decided we would see Deliverance. So the five of us all in our Catholic High School uniforms walked up to the ticket booth and bought our tickets.

I was so afraid I was going to get caught for being under age, but no problem, waltzed right in.

[pintobean]

20. Deliverance was my first, as well.

I was a bit younger, though. 11 or 12. I talked my dad into taking me. I didn't have a clue what was going on during the rape scene. I knew something was up, though. The expressions on my dad's face made it clear that he thought he had made a big mistake.

[sharp_stick]

15. Porky's

My uncle took my brother, me and a friend into the Drive In where they never checked ID's

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. Bonnie and Clyde.

Mother had a fit. I was only ten yrs old. lol

[Tom_Foolery]

21. Me, too..

Saw it with my dad when it first came out. I must have been about seven.

[Sancho]

17. I'm not sure if there was a rating system, but I had to have an adult go with me to....

Georgy Girl!

It was the 60's, and a movie with pregnancy, abortion, and affairs was not for teens!

Of course, we loved the music of the Seekers and I wanted to see the movie. My Aunt was a college student and she took me.

[grilled onions]

18. Goldfinger

I had to wait a year for "legal" age At that time big movies would often come back a year later and although it did have skin and violence it did not hold a candle to much of what is out there today.

[liberaltrucker]

19. M*A*S*H

With due respect to Donald Sutherland, Alan
Alda should've played Hawkeye in the movie.

[Denninmi]

22. Jaws.

Also in 1975. Somehow managed to plead enough to get my older sister to take me. I was 10, she was 21.

[Art_from_Ark]

23. I can't remember if it was "Private Duty Nurses",

"Adam and Eve" (they was nekkid), or "Molested" (some guy in England is molesting women and looks like the devil when taillights shine on his face). All sometime in 1972 or 1973 at the latest.

[AllenVanAllen]

24. The Exorcist was my first R rated film. I saw it at the theater.

I was 5 years old. O_o

[Aerows]

26. I feel like a goody two-shoes

I was about 15 and it was the original Friday the 13th and some friends and I watched it (on VHS, no less LOL) before going to a haunted house. It and then the haunted house scared the shit out of me.

I can't remember the first one that I actually watched in a theater. It was probably some art house type film that was subtitled LOL.

[Behind the Aegis]

28. "Blue Thinder" with my grandfather...my mom was pissed!
