Your First R-Rated/18 Movie

Think mine may have been Nightmare on Elm Street.  When I was living in Nanaimo in Canada, the kid next door had the most stupidly ornate tree house I've ever seen, with its own video hook-up. Watched it one sleepover.  Well, I say sleepover; it was more just an over.

Keebleman

First one I saw in the cinema was The Meaning of Life when I was 15.  Very disappointed now to find it is re-rated 15, though it does mean that retrospectively I am innocent of breaking the law.  (Very disappointed at the time to find it wasn't particularly funny.)

Bobtoo

I think it would have been Midnight Cowboy on TV.

Gulftastic

Probably 'The Evil Dead' on a pirate video. My first pornography was a film called 'Tangerine'

wooders1978

Managed to sneak into the viewing of Rambo - first blood (I know, I know, it's just "first blood") at my brothers birthday party when I was probably about 8 and it was bloody amazing

Its amazing how, when I was a child, films like Nightmare om Elm Street and Saving Private Ryan were these gruesome, horrible films not to be watched. Now I can watch them to help me go to sleep.

Small Man Big Horse

The first for me was An American Werewolf In London when we went to stay at my step-brother's place in Milton Keynes. I was only ten and definitely a bit too young for it as it haunted my nightmares for a long time to come. And I was a bit scared by An American Werewolf In London too!

10 is definitely  way too young for that film, There's throat slitting, and all sorts. Still, you got to see the then still quite young Jenny Agutter in the nuddy, bet that didn't haunt yer ' mares.
In fact, come to think of it, quite aside from all the gore and that, those scenes between yer woman Agutter and Wolfman were quite saucy. Who let's a 10 year old child watch that stuff ? You're sure this wasn't in MK  but
In  Bristol, and it wasn't your step-  brother's place, but Fred West's ?

I saw quite a large part of Nightmare on Elm Street by accident when I went in the wrong door at the cinema on the way to Pinocchio.

Andy Warhol's BAD at the 3 screen ABC Odeon in Northampton when I was 14, it had a profound effect on me at the time
a bit like being exposed to some dodgy porn on the net at an early age. But it didn't put me off going back there on a regular basis
often stoned, to see other X films as I was quite chuffed that they let me in (I was tall for my age) as I loved films and ended up spending
most of the day there going from one screen to another unchallenged to see films like The House of Exorcism to Language of Love
happy (fucked up) days

I've just emailed him to ask if he's Fred West and he's denied it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's lying given what a dirty bastard he is. And it was his idea to let my sister and I watch it as it was a comedy according to him, and the adults buggered off somewhere to play Boggle whilst we did.

Convoy although looking back it would barely be a 15 these days.

Convoy was a pig at most surely? They used to show it on Saturday afternoons

Obviously, you could have just settled at "A" Certificate (as it was back then), without "at most". You can't have a Peckinpah film rated as a "U". That would be mad.

The first I remember in theatre is Blazing Saddles and I would have been 8.  Parents took us (kids) along to drive-in films a lot but wouldn't have watched at all due to being on playground up in front of the screen.

AA mate, same as a 15 now

Actually it was an A, which was basically the same as a 12A.  So as it's now a 12, if anything, it's been upped.


My first ones were Die Hard and Robocop, both hired on VHS from the local Thresher when I was 11 or 12.  My dad hired them for me and watched Die Hard with me, but wasn't arsed about Robocop cos robots.

You could argue irresponsibly, but my dad was a bit of a film buff and got me into films from a very young age (my earliest memory is him taking me to see The Jungle Book at our local fleapit in 1982, when I was 3 years old), so by the time I saw those two I knew all about special effects and all that.  It's also probably the reason that horror has always, for the most part, bored the shit out of me.

I bunked off school to go see an afternoon showing (this was called a 'matinee', kids) of Rambo. It was, indeed, as you say, bloody amazing.
My first 18, however, was Exterminator.

Bad Ambassador

The Running Man, when I was 7, watched on rented video with parents.

First in cinema - Scream 2, when I was 17. Went to the rerelease of The Exorcist shortly after, BEFORE my birthday.

My brother is ten years older than me and got great pleasure out of exposing me to as many horrific films as he could, so by the time I was 5 or 6 I'd seen all the Omen films, Friday the 13th, Basket Case, Robocop etc, so I can't remember the exact first. Though I do remember him showing me the first anime I ever saw, and it being the most horrific thing I'd seen up to that point, and it's only in the last few weeks, over 20 years later, that I've discovered it to be Legend of the Overfiend:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urotsukidōji

QuoteUrotsukidōji has been credited with popularizing the trope of tentacle rape, and The Erotic Anime Movie Guide calls it a formative work in the hentai genre.

Tentacle rape

And, watched now, it's abysmal.  And the sequels are even worse. 

NoSleep

It must have been A Clockwork Orange, which I went back to see a further two times.

I think Mad Max (with an older friend steering me toward the 'good bits' via F-Fwd), and Mad Max 2 a week or so later (as I was astounded to find it in the video machine, as my dad must have rented it - managed to watch the whole thing in a sequence of sneaky 10-minute intervals over the next couple of days. Still don't think I've seen a film that has thrilled and scared me in equal measure; the constant sense of jeopardy - even in such a disjointed viewing pattern - fried my 11-year-old mind, and to this day is like nothing else I've experienced.

Around the same time, I went to a neighbours house with my parents for a party, and they stuck all the kids in a room with a TV and a copy of Alien. Yes, that's a fine idea! Scared out of my wits, and scrabbling around on the floor in the dark for a can of Coke to soothe my parched throat, dry with terror, I managed to stick my hand in a bowl of guacamole, just right around the time some gooey Giger action was taking place on screen. Incredibly, this full-spectrum trauma never put me off guacamole or the Alien series of films.

Large Noise

The earliest I remember would be Aliens (which I watched before Alien for some reason despite having both), Starship Troopers, Mallrats, or Chasing Amy. Watched those when I was about 9.

Also A Nightmare on Elm Street, but shown to us at school at the age of 13 in an end-of-term "will this do?" kind of way.

We watched 'Fist Of Fury' in the same way, complete with stripper scene.

Sebastian Cobb

I taped Terminator 2 in 1997 without my parents knowing and had a tummy bug the next day so got to watch it lying on the sofa with my ghostbusters duvet over me. 28 10, I was.

I can't remember if I saw half of Running Man at my cousins before or after that. Serial Mom was another one that I saw at some party of a parents' friends when the parents were too busy being drunk/socialising.

Also thinking about the dates, I think I also might've taped Tremors on the sly around that time as well, but IMDB suggests that's a 15. Another one that my parents were really reluctant to let me see on a static caravan holiday with some friends, when I was probably about 6 was Throw Momma off the Train, but they relented once they realised it wasn't as gruesome as the title suggested.

Small Man Big Horse

Just remembered my second 18 rated film, which I watched shortly after American Werewolf, though I'm not quite sure if it was Piranha or Piranha 2. Whatever the case I was round my friend Russel's house and he mentioned how his Dad had a horror film we should watch and put the video in the machine, but after a couple of minutes it featured a naked woman swimming about with an enormously hairy pubic bush and we both felt it was wrong and dirty and if we were caught watching it we'd be in a load of trouble so turned it off. Ironically I love hairy pubic bush's now so I've no idea why it caused such a reaction, but it was the 80s when nudity was frowned upon in Surrey, I even had to bath fully clothed back then.
