Best Movie Ratings of all Time

The Top Ten
1 R

Some R-rated movies I have seen are House Party, Stepbrothers, Friday, Woodstock, Deep Cover, 8 Mile, Tropic Thunder, Easy Rider, Dazed and Confused, Die Hard, The Interview, The Kentucky Fried Movie, The Matrix, Life of Brian, Constantine, Almost Famous, Stand by Me, American Splendor, Blazing Saddles, Dirty Harry, Blade Runner, 48 Hrs, The Lost Boys, Taxi Driver, Steve Jobs, Good Will Hunting, Cadillac Records, He Got Game, The Passion of the Christ, and Full Metal Jacket. Most of my favorite movies are R-rated. Watch all of them and you'll see why R is the best movie rating ever, because it's a lot realistic and mature, and has very good ratings. Compare it to PG and PG-13. Much of PG nowadays seem kiddy, and like PG-13 back more than 30 years ago. PG-13 can be stupid and is also overrated. R has the best humor and scenes.

This is the best rating... and so many movies with this rating such as Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart, Lethal Weapon, Kiss of Death, Pulp Fiction, Ransom, etc.

When a movie has this rating, it is free to do almost anything, yet still be advertised, unlike NC-17 or X movies.

2 PG-13

Most movies I have seen since October 2021 are PG-13 as of April 2022, even though R is getting close. It's usually in theaters or if it makes me feel comfortable when someone is around.

Sometimes rated "R" movies are great, a lot of the best movies are rated "R", but there's more "PG-13" movies that I'd rather see than "R" rated ones. For example, ALL the superhero movies, warrior, Cinderella man, Oceans series, Shanghai noon, casino royale, the other guys, Sherlock Holmes etc.

These are the funnest movies to watch and the most exciting. Also their are bad enough to be interesting, but not so bad that you wonder whats in it before you go see it.

Definitely the best rating. As stated, it makes a movie popular. Most great movies are "PG-13", because they have lines that they don't cross, yet they make a terrific movie.

3 PG

PG movies were different back then. In the 1970s, they were a lot PG-13 and even a bit R-rated, in the 1980s, they were PG-13, the 90s got a bit censored due to PG-13 becoming a new rating, and today most are animated and family-friendly movies. It's very weird, maybe PG will soon becoming the new "G". Just don't know why rating get more censored over time.

4 G

It's a lot family friendly, and Disney was always G-rated until the 80s or 90s. But nowadays, G is fading away due to PG now becoming a lot family-oriented.

This rating has basically been wiped from existence, now PG movies are practically G movies

5 NC-17

A movie basically needs to be incredibly violent or sexual to get this rating. And who does not like incredible violence or sex?
