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

[totalia]

I was 12. The movie The Lost Boys.

I love that movie to this day.

This was a funny experience. I was about 11 and the family went out to see Disney's "The Horse in the grey flannel suit." Instead we walked in the wrong theatre and saw a movie about a guy who was held captive in an attic by 3 women, can't recall the name. By the time we realized our mistake, we had seen quite a lot that we shouldn't have. It was quite interesting.

I was 14 and my dad took me to see the Godfather.

I remember the first time I saw that movie. I came home, had to go to the bathroom and kept checking the toilet waiting to see if a shark was going to jump up and bite my butt.

Mine was also Saturday Night Fever. I was 15 and begged my mother to take me since I loved John Travolta so much from Welcome Back Kotter and Grease. My mother told me years later that she was more shocked at the language and situations than I was.

I was about 7 I think. Saturday Night Fever. My parents took us kids to the drive in. I don't think they knew anything about SNF.... I remember my mother yelling at us not to watch the movie and to turn our heads. My brother must have been 10 and my sister 12. I don't remember what the other movie was.... I wonder why

I was 12, my cousin took me to see M*A*S*H at a drive in.

Mission Impossible 2.. age 8/9

Or X-files shows at age 3.

 

[MinnieM21]

Child's Play when I was 5. I watched it at Grandma's house..

 

[TDC Nala]

Also "Alien." I was 14, I think. My dad went to see it with me. I loved it, he hated it.

All That Jazz.
I was around 10 years old. Not sure why my parents brought my brother and I. But after seeing it, I wasn't sure if I ever wanted to go to another Rated R movie again. LOL!

Actually, now I want to see it again, because I can probably appreciate the movie now.

A Time to Kill after reading the novel that summer, first horror was Scream

 

[scoutsmom99]

The first one I can remember is Lethal Weapon 2...didn't see it in the theater, but my brother was supposed to be babysitting and I watched it with him and his friends I was 9 or so. I really love the scene in that move when they go through the drive through to get Leo (Joe Pesci's charchter) a sandwich and the sandwich turns out wrong.

I was 13 when I saw my first "R" - The Harrad Experiment (1973). Full frontal nudity - both male and female.

Don't forget this was before HBO and home video. I'd certainly never seen anything like that before, and my parents would have died if they knew what I was watching!

 

[Briarmom]

Poltergeist. I think I was about 6 or 7 years old.

It is so weird because I remember who was at our house watching it with Mom and WHY would no one think 'this is inappropriate for a child' while I was watching??!! I would never let ds6 watch it. Although I was thinking the other day how we used to watch Nightmare on Elm Street movies at sleepovers when I was young, and I bet if you let a bunch of kids watch that at your house now the angry parents would line up outside the next night!

Oh my god, I remember watching that movie when I was younger! We have a two story house and I think it was what put a fear of something in the attic and closets in me! That movie screwed me up as a kid

That movie made me never want to have a big old tree outside my bedroom window and just increased my fears of clowns/dolls.

I didn't make a note of my first 'R' rated movie, but it was probably something scary. I was a die hard horror fan as a kid.

An Officer & a Gentleman...I was 15.

It was the first (but not the last) time I gushed over Richard Gere. I'm a sucker for men who get better looking as they get older.
