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

[DisneyDotty]

Are you sure "Jaws" and "Poltergeist" were rated R? I'm thinking they were PG...
("Jaws" is my all-time favorite movie. "I think we need a bigger boat.")

My first was Ah Ah Ah Ah staying alive, staying alive ("Saturday Night Fever") when I was 12. Boy, did I learn a few things!

Jaws was rated PG. I had to look it up after a couple people said that because my Mom and Nana took me to see that when I was 8. I willing to bet Nana didn't see an R rated movie in all her 94 years!

I do believe you are correct. Poltergeist was supposed to be "R" and they removed a few dead bodies (in the form of skeletons) to make it "PG". I have no idea what the limit of dead bodies is to keep a movie from being "R", but apparantly there is one.

I just checked our Jaws DVD, it is PG.

I have absolutely no idea! Weird!

Hmmm I looked up Poltergeist before I posted because I thought it might have been PG, but it said R on amazon.com.

Isn't it weird what was PG before we had PG-13??

Blue Lagoon in 5th grade. Was playing at the local theater. I was forbidden by my mom to go see it, snuck in anyways and felt so guilty about it that I left after the first 10 minutes LOL

Poltergeist II was PG-13, and I think the first one was scarier.

(Hey, what am I doing discussing stuff with you after you stole Johnny Depp away from me!!)

I saw the "Exorcist" when I was 14 and my sister was 11.
To this day she still talks about how freaked she was.
Our mother took us to see this.

Egad! My father owned a parking lot next to the theater that was showing the "Exorcist"--he said people would run screaming out of the theater, or come out throwing up...
Scary book. Scary movie.

I watched The Exorcist when I was 12. I still love to watch that kind of stuff around Halloween. DH thinks I am a dork.

I'm sorry, but he is just so sexy...
Don't worry. I am sure if he saw me, he would really just see this: since his girlfriend is a Chanel model (who is beautiful but has one NASTY set of teeth!

OK, so is Poltergeist R or not?? Amazon says it is. Otherwise I have to rethink the original question.

Blue Lagoon!

haha Blue Lagoon rocks my socks off. The first few times i saw it, i saw it on tv. And it was all edited, but i didnt know. Then i had a Blue Lagoon party and i rented it, lol, with mixed company. Fun. fun. The DVD is wayy dirtier. thus better.

I dont know the first one. The first one i can remember was Jurassic Park when i was probably 6 or 7. Or maybe Jaws. I dunno, i have seen soo many movies.

My first r rated movie was All That Jazz. My dance teacher made a comment about how good it was and how true to her dance experience it was ( I was about thirteen , but in a class with adults and older teenagers ) So I just had to see it. My Mom took me and actually sat through it. As we were getting in our car to leave afterwards , she just shook her head and said over and over, " Well, that was just porno, nothin but porno!" I loved it . I used to do the dances from it around the house.
Well, not the "Take Off With Us " number because Mom would have put a stop to that!

The Exorcist when I was about 12, scared me so bad I slept in my parents room for a week !

 

[outstandinfarmer]

Pretty Woman. My mom said it really didn't count as a rated R movie

 

[powellrj]

OMG, LOL I went with my best friend and her mom to see Summer of '42. This was a long time ago, we were both about 15 at the time. It was weird to have her mom with us.

That was my first one too!!! Several of my friends and I went one afternoon to see it! We were in Jr. high and rode the bus by ourselves to the mall to watch it!!
