Top 10 Movies with the Most Harsh MPAA Rating

Suggested rating: rated PG-13 for science fiction violrnce and mild language - Martin_Canine

The most “adult” thing in this whole movie was one club scene, with NO nudity. WHY MPAA! WHY RATE THIS R!

Disagree. Psycho does have blood in it so maybe it should still have it's R rating.

It's black and white, and no explicit stabbing is shown. Teenagers nowadays are used to a lot more violence. - Martin_Canine

Suggested rating: rated PG-13 for some violent content and disturbing images - Martin_Canine

There’s a HUGE (and I mean huge) misconception that there’s nudity in the shower scene. Now, while it’s obvious that the actress is in the nude, there is nothing explicit shown on-screen. There is little to no blood, and the violence is intense, but not shown. I can understand why this had an R rating in 1984, before PG-13 existed, because of it not fitting a PG rating, but it just shouldn’t be kept in the same league as something like Fight Club, with super intense violence and sexual themes. Psycho should definitely be rerated to PG-13.

Suggested rating: rated PG-13 for some violent content, mild language and some mild sexual content - Martin_Canine

Suggested rating: rated PG for mild comic violence - Martin_Canine

While the PG-13 remake has some gruesome to watch scenes, this remake really has only one scene on the edge, which is the ending, but even this scene was in the PG-13 remake. - Martin_Canine

Suggested rating: rated PG-13 for some disturbing images and some violent content - Martin_Canine

Suggested rating: rated PG-13 for some violent content, mild language and mature thematic elements - Martin_Canine

Suggested rating: rated PG-13 for brief moments of violence - Martin_Canine

Suggested rating: rated PG-13 for some violent content and disturbing images - Martin_Canine

Umm yea this is about right. - NightJinx

Suggested rating: rated PG-13 for a scene of drug abuse and some sexual innuendo - Martin_Canine

Suggested Rating: PG-13 for brief strong language

Because a movie about depression TOTALLY deserves a G rating. - 445956

It also has blood and gore (eg. the decapitated horse head)

No the godfather is bad, very violent, and has language - TopTenListmaker

Agreed.

This is literally a movie about a gay couple (who do nothing but kiss once and stay in bed fully clothed) and it suddenly gets an R rating? Is our film rating system homophobic or something?

Suggestion:PG-13 for some vilonce rude humor strong language and Comic Action Violence - Watchmojo

Should be PG-13 for sequences of intense action violence and brief strong language.

Now, this movie does have a sex scene. But without it, it easily could have been rated PG-13 for brief sequences of strong violence and brief strong language.

Suggested rating: PG-13. There’s nearly no nudity or violence, and very mild language.

Suggested rating: PG-13.

Yes it’s a horror movie, but the majority of the movie doesn’t have many scary scenes. Also the ghost isn’t that scary.

Suggested Rating: PG-13 due to violence and language

Suggested Rating: G. Yes the Santa is drunk but it doesn’t really show it that much.

Suggested Rating: G. There’s nothing scary

Suggested rating: G. It’s basically Disney’s version of Sesame Street

This movie got an R rating for being too scary, while some other movies that are at least in my opinion scarier than this one, still get an PG-13 Rating
