G, PG, PG-13, R, or NC-17 movies?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brad Russ · 03-08-2006, 05:53 AM

Which movies do you think are usually the best overall?? My choice is PG-13 ones. I think PG movies are often too tame, while R rated ones often go overboard with sex and violence just for the sake of giving people cheap thrills. PG-13 films usually seem to rely on good storytelling more than rated R films in my view. What do you all think??

I usually watch PG 13 movies the most, followed by R.

Does it really matter to Samuel L. Jackson!!!

I perfer rated R, especially for horror movies.

dlemond · 03-08-2006, 10:42 AM

While a lot of R movies may show gratuitous sex and violence for the sake of their R rating, these are mostly bad movies anyway.

Any great R movie that would be rated PG-13 would have been irreparably damaged (edited) because of the rating code.

And I don't think that should interfere with making the best film possible.

I find there's good and crappy movies in every rating category listed.

EmoJoe · 03-08-2006, 11:14 PM

PG-13

G is (for the most part) for little kids
PG is probably the second best but a lot of times their still kid-orientated
PG-13 is the best. Its not too dirty but its not too kiddish either
R is too gruesome sometimes, and im...scared of things like that, so yeah. R isnt a good choice for me. im not allowed to watch them anyway
NC-17...never seen anything out of that category and dont plan to.

I always tend to like PG-13 movies the best. I can't stand to watch R-rated war films or horror movies.

Race's Girl · 03-09-2006, 08:30 AM

PG-13 movies rock

Cactus Jack · 03-09-2006, 09:00 AM

Some of the funniest comedies ever were R

Janice · 03-09-2006, 11:48 AM

I usually go for R rated movies. The hard hitting movies usually have sex, violence and profanity. What can I say, those are my kind of movies.

gilligan fanatic · 03-09-2006, 12:01 PM

most of the movies I like were made before there was a PG-13 so I don't know what to vote.

Mr. Television · 03-09-2006, 06:42 PM

Although I like all types of movies, I'd probably go with PG-13. Their's a lot of great R rated movies too but I think a lot of them are made just to get an R rating and they don't worry as much about story content.

James"Thunder"Early · 03-09-2006, 09:12 PM

I like G, PG and PG-13 mostly. I look at an R from time to time, but not much.
