You must have been older than 8 or 9 if you were driving.

It was too long ago, but I don't recall my parents protecting me from tits and ass and naughty words at all. I think they had a pretty healthy outlook on those sorts of things, viewing them as realities of the world, and therefore I'd probably have to learn to deal with it sooner or later.

There was, however, much less of the highly graphical variety of death and boning on the screen when I was young and presumably more impressionable. I'm thinking it just wasn't as big a deal then as it is now because entertainment wasn't quite as permeated with blatant naughtiness as it now seems to be.

I can remember being in the back of the stationwagon at the drive-in late 60s about age 7 or 8 and the second feature was Georgy Girl. I remember my mom being concerned that we kids were still awake and perhaps watching/hearing the sex scenes. We pretended to be sleeping but were very interested.

I remember going with a friend to see Alice Doesnt Live Here Anymore at the mall cinemas- I would have been around 12, that felt like mature content at the time, probably PG

I wonder if film-makers aren't as confident in their stories anymore?

Movies based on books always have to cut stuff out. But this one always gives me a chuckle. The book was Six Days of the Condor.

i ditched junior high one day and saw Bonnie and Clyde. i was/am tall for my age.

SouthOfNoNorth · 03-16-2006, 09:59 AM

it's a tie with carrie and several movies of the death wish series, i can't remember which was first. carrie scared the living shit out of me, though, and charles bronson was a personal hero for a while, so their respective emotional impacts were pretty different.

incidentally, i seem to remember movies in the 80's being more free with their graphic/sexual content. seemed like every time you turned around there was a nude scene in a movie or a guy getting gratuitiously decapitated, and no one really made a big deal out of it. it could bet that, since i was a kid at the time, i wasn't in touch with what people considered "pushing the line".

i think our society makes WAY too big a deal out of graphic content in movies, especially sexual. that's a whole other can of worms, though....

Did you ever see The Last House on the Left? Gah... scary, violent, death, boning - I was WAY too young to see that when I did. Really disturbing because its just so real - nothing like his (Wes Craven) later "horror" crap.

Elspode · 03-16-2006, 02:41 PM

Strangely, you cite the *exact* movie that put me off of that sort of film. I remember where I saw it (the 63rd Street Drivein), how old I was (16), and the scene in the movie that convinced me that this was just entirely unnecessary.

I'll bet you can guess which scene that was, huh?

Elspode · 03-16-2006, 02:52 PM

Having become a bit more intrigued by this thread (and less intrigued with the notion of actually doing my work, which is tedious and boring today), I checked out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPAA_film_rating_system to review the history of the MPAA rating system, in particular, to find out when it started. Turns out that it was 1968. I then looked up films released in 1968 to suss out the first R rated film I was likely to have seen.

Turns out that it was, in all likelihood, Rosemary's Baby.
