The first R rated movie I saw in the theater was Rain Man, I think.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Compassionately intolerant
My father took me to see Barbarella when I was 9. Yeah. He was a freak.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I guess technically, mine was the Bo Derek Tarzan when I was like 7. But it was at a drive-in with my parents, so I'm pretty sure I fell asleep. I do remember her boobs sticking straight up, though!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
When I was working at a local theatre I saw some parents dragging their toddlers and infant into a 9pm showing of Empire, which was so many kinds of wrong. But this was NYC where I once saw a mother and her tiny tots on a train at 3 in the morning like it was no big.

move out and draw fire
I think mine was Tess. If that wasn't R rated, it should have been, coz no kid should be forced to sit through a Hardy adaptation without fair warning.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I just saw Indy 4 over the weekend and like Miracleman, I was severely disappointed. What.a.piece.of.trash.
I put my head in my hands when we saw the fucking prairie dogs for the 11th time after the nuclear bomb explosion.
The movie never recovered from that in my estimation. I too grumbled at the monkeys, the aliens, the waterfalls, the ants(!), invincible Indy who never got bloodied, the introduction of the FBI for no discernible reason.
Man. Glad that movie experience is over.

le nubian, I'm so glad that I'm not the only one peeved to see the abundance of prairie dogs (especially since they were fake!).
Did I mention yet that the next day after seeing Indy I went for a hike through some giant anthills? Yes? It bears repeating. They bit me. I was wearing sandals. My ankle still itches.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was about to post that I had little recollection of any movies I saw between Cinderella and Wayne's World, but I actially saw Tess... on a friends HBO Which actually inspired a lifelong love of Hardy!

We all gave a funny look to the kid behind the ticket window. Who couldn't have been older than 16 from the look of him.
He was getting your name and address. Seriously, what else could it be?

Raq for the win. Though I know TESS was PG, and I think JUDE would totally obliterate it in the misery (and R-rated) category.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
The Honeymoon Killers tonight. Man, that movie was such a realistic form of noir that the murders made me feel sick to my stomach.
My first R-in-a-theater was Beverly Hills Cop. My friends and I bought tickets to Amadeus, which was what we told my parents we were going to see, and then snuck into the other theater. My parents busted me by asking, in detail, about the plot points. I didn't even know who Salieri was. No idea what my first R-rated movie was, but I suspect it was Blazing Saddles at my friend's house when I was 9 or so.
