Movies that should have different ratings.....


It can be higher or lower

Most obvious is Matrix, Rated R, should be PG13, everyone knows that one

Disneys Hunchback of Notre Dame is rated G, should be PG for violence and sensuality

Titanic is a freak of nature to get a PG13 with that nudity, like, that defies MPAA "logic" (I use that word loosely)

Saving Private Ryan Rated R, should maybe be NC17

The Karate Kid, Grease, Jaws, etc. if your gonna re release it, re rate it.

Nebraska only has two f-bombs (something that, surprisingly, a lot of PG-13 movies have) and it got slapped with an R rating.

Moneyball, on the other hand, had three f-bombs, and got away with a PG-13. I have no idea how the MPAA decided on that.

I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers.

One is an indie film and the other is a studio film. That was kind of the whole point of the documentary. How each film has a different set of rules (especially if you are a studio film, you get a lot more leeway).

They have people that work at studios giving harsher ratings to their indie competition. I'm going to attempt a baseball analogy. It would be like the opposing manager also being the home plate umpire.

Cat in the Hat Being PG Should have been PG-13 or NC-17

Not sure whether this has been said, but The Breakfast Club. Literally WTF. Should be PG (it's rated R).
