What was the first "R"/18-restricted movie you saw? - Page 3

Platoon. It was for a film studies class in high school, and the folks had to sign off on it. I was surprised they did.

geez, am i the only one that feels really old after reading this thread? i remember my mom would NOT let us see Poseidon Adventure because she thought we'd be traumatized - but we watched monty python and "love, american style" every week on tv! first naughty movie was unfortunately after sneaking into the drive-in in the trunk of a car on a first date. yeah, that went well.

Man, if you weren't traumatized by Love, American Style, you're one tough cookie.

As a lifelong Cowsills fan, I did love the theme song, though.

We got to see Polanski's Macbeth at high school when I was about 16.

I got some fake ID to see Saturday Night Fever when it first came out (now why was THAT rated?) And then I started uni a few months before I turned 17, and they showed a whole bunch of R movies during O week - no checking of ID as it was in the student union building. The only films I remember are Fritz the Cat (which I adored primarily because there's an aardvark in it) and Deliverance. During the "squeal like a pig" scene all the blokes in my row (mainly other first years) crossed their legs at the same time.

"Vixens"
was x rated, was 17yrs old.... Later I worked in a movie theatre that only catered to 18 years and older. (wasn't a porn house, the owner had other theatres for Disneyish or x-rated drivein venues) This place showed things like the Graduate, Easy Rider, Funny Girl, Bob Ted Mary and somebody else.

Mad Max and Mad Max 2 at a drive in when I was probably about 11 or 12. I was hidden under a blanket on the floor in the back of a Mini while my sister pretended to be asleep on the back seat. The guy we went with told the attendant he was baby sitting his little sister and she'd sleep throught the whole thing...which she did:p
Needless to say, I didn't sleep all that well for a few days afterwards.
