What Was Your 1st "R" Rated Movie?

[Cheesebeef]

So, i mentioned this in another post but thought it would be fun to dedicate an entire thread to the subject of what was your first R rated flick and how old you were/circumstances.

I can CLEARLY remember mine:

Risky Business... the Orpheum Theater in Chicago... Age 7.

My brothers and cousins wanted to see Vacation but they had to take me along and my parents heard there was a scene where Christie Brinkley is naked in a pool, so my parents put the kibosh on that one. Our other option was Risky Business, which my parents had heard anything about, so, we were off... to see a movie about a high school kid who runs a prostitution ring.

The theater was PACKED. I mean PACKED to the point that we sat in the upper deck section (two story theater) and had to sit in the freaking aisle. Ouchie did his best to cover my eyes during the 3 minutes long sex scenes with Lana, but being the big brother he was, his fingers would open every once in a while to let me see some good old fashioned 80's gratuitous nudity.

when we got back from the movie, my parents asked how it was. My response:

"It was the best movie i never saw."

Your turn...

I don't remember what it's rating was but the first movie I can remember lying about my age for was Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. I was 16 and it was 18+ IIRC. I snuck in to see a horrible film the same year called End Of The Road at the old Fox Theater in Phoenix. Good cast but the movie was the first one to actually make me sick (botched abortion scene).

White Men Can't Jump. Our family took a trip to either Laughlin or Vegas and for whatever reason this movie was on all the time. My dad, brother, and I must have watched it 5 times. Best trip I had to these gambling places until I was old enough to actually gamble.

Out of the thousands of movies I've seen in the theater, I don't remember what my first rated R film was. I want to say it was Lethal Weapon 2, but I'm not sure that's correct. I remember seeing my first PG-13 movie a few years earlier. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and I saw it in Vicenza, Italy.

I remember seeing Total Recall in 1990 in Heerlen, the Netherlands, but I'm not sure that was my "first" R viewing.

Heavy Metal on HBO with my dad. The WWII cartoon zombies scared the **** out of me and I kept asking my dad what they meant by "screwing the toaster"

This was also the first time I saw boobs, even if they were cartoon ones.

First movie in the theater...Star Wars

First R-Rated...Heavy Metal

You couldn't set up a nerd better if you tried.

Halloween for me. The original. Saw the original Amityville Horror in the theater as well.

 

[TheHopToad]

Animal House. I was 13 and didn't fully appreciate it at the time.

It still holds up well 32 years later...wish I could say the same for myself.

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

Wrong Is Right with Sean Connery.

I don't remember what the film was about, but I do remember that my mom had to tell the box office jockey that it was ok for me to see it.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

No clue.

 

[Mulli]

The Octagon!

Stripes, 1981, in Alabama. I was 12, visiting family for the summer. My youngest uncles and aunts snuck me in. My father and oldest uncle were fundie pentecostal preachers, and so I got a beating in Alabama and a beating when I returned to Arizona. It was worth it. Still love that movie.

That's the fact Jack!

I hope you said "Lighten up Francis" to the beaters. Maybe not out loud, I suppose.


EDIT: Had name wrong.

In the theater, I think it was Death Hunt. I was 13 or 14.

I hope you said "Lighten up Clarence" to the beaters. Maybe not out loud, I suppose.

Or "Lighten up Francis".

Whichever.

When I was 9 I "convinced" my mom to take me to The Jerk with Steve Martin.

I don't remember the first one I actually saw, but I remember the first rated R movie that I tried to see in a theater.

I was about 12 and I tried to buy a ticket to see 'Predator'. The lady at the ticket counter wouldn't sell me the ticket so I went and saw 'Harry and the Hendersons' instead.

Parents were pretty easy going with the movie watching. Any nudity I had to run and stand in the hall way until they told me to come back. Watched a lot of horror movies at the age of 5,6,7, such as the usual stuff like Friday the 13th, Elms St, Halloween.

Watched a lot so they all blur together so I really couldnt say which one was first.
