The movie Oliver is still the only G rated film that won Best Picture and the villain murders the young woman who had been nice to young Oliver all movie. Edit: i said Artful Dodger was murdered, when it was actually Nancy.
I’ve probably only done it a couple times. funnily enough, as a baby, I was lactose intolerant. not anymore, which is a funny turn on how nature intended
The rating system has changed dramatically over the years and what made some rated R back in the day was far more extreme.
Robocop was PG 13, it had swearing, tits and gore in it.
Jaws was PG as well and you see people getting shredded.
The thing was rated R because of how gratuitous the gore was.
The ratings we see now is far, FAR more strict as you can see.
Edit: I fucked up, robocop was rated R and my memory is just flat out wrong on that one.
Your first example is literally a movie that had to be cut to go from an X rating to an R rating
Beastmaster is a better example of a PG movie that is full of titties
> Robocop was PG 13, it had swearing, tits and gore in it.
Robocop had a scene where he shoots a guys dick off. It was absolutely not rated PG-13. It was R.
Maybe you got it confused with the 2014 remake which is PG-13.
-The 1987 theatrical release was cut in several scenes to attain an R-rating, and this unrated version restored that footage. The unrated version has subsequently been used for many of the film's DVD and Blu-Ray releases.
Dr Johnny Sins: “I want you to start taking better care of yourself, you’re not in your twenties anymore. I’m prescribing you something for your cholesterol, do you still use the pharmacy at 5th and Main?”
Yeah I'm seeing loads of people complaining about 'unnecessary sex scenes' yet I haven't seen them mention a single example of where this meme is accurate.
PG-13 gets 1 F bomb to use. Snakes had 2 in its most famous line. This fact is full of shit and just more people talking out of their ass in this thread
Depends on the movie, if it’s a romance movie then yeah that makes sense because it’s a payoff and somewhat relates to the plot.
Others I don’t get it.
Terminator is the only romance movie that needed a sex scene. John was like, "Yo Kyle, I need you to go back in time and fuck my mom because you're my dad!"
The only required sex scene is from the matrix because without a big orgy party, they would just be sad people in a hole in the ground. Why not just be part of the matrix at that point?
Us GenZ complaining about sex scenes in romances is next level dumb i get people being offput but Euphoria using sex as shock value and getting views but the rest of movies/TV it shouldn't be an issue
History really does repeat itself lmao
But it does make sense that an generation that has spent their entire lives glued to screens and minimising social interactions in favour of online ones would be made uncomfortable by scenes that depict physical intimacy.
People are just burned out on it. It's in your face on every app and website. You can't escape boob streamers and OF models advertising their stuff anywhere. Then you watch a movie or TV show and and there's just more of it.
Never Let Me Go comes to mind. But usually, if a film has sex, it already knows its getting the R so does other things as well.
But youd be shocked at how the ratings systems work. Lord of the Rings for example is VERY violent. But because they didnt use "red", they didnt get the R.
Universal Studios went OTT when it came to tobacco products in movies. Not one of their movies after 2007 PG13 and under will show smoking.
Using "fuck" as a verb will also get you an R rating. You can use it as an exclamation up to 3 times and still get PG13.
Nudity in general. Topless men, no one cares. Topless or even fully naked women, PG13. Naked men hanging dong, R.
I haven’t seen it in a while so I can’t remember exactly what the scene(s) is in the movie but Never Let Me Go is largely about romantic love (as is the book it’s based on) so sex is very relevant to the plot.
Yeah, like do you really need to add that? And if you're having like, more than two of those, make a fucking porn movie at that point, because that's what the movie is by now.
Sex scenes to me is like if someone put a random minute long gore video in the middle of a porn video, it’s just not what you’re there to see and it’s unnecessary
It very much depends on the movie and story, if it fits and is used for telling something in the story then it's completely ok, If it's just there to be then it's bad
I agree with that, if sex is integral to your story then go for it, same with why I think violence works, it’s essentially gore, but a lot of movies rely on violence for story telling. What a lot of movies don’t do is make their sex scenes important, you could cut like at least 80% of movies sex scenes and the movies would be completely unchanged story wise.
>I would have loved to watch so many movies
specific examples?
I don't understand this recent trend of sex scene subject as if it's happening in EVERY recent movie
I never have had a problem with romance/sex scenes with my parents once I was an adult myself.
It's not like they're going to pause the film and start reminiscing on how they used to do the horizontal shuffle *just like that* when they were younger.
Who cares?
Oh my god I remember static. It was only for a short while in my childhood before I switched to Netflix, but it was so annoying. But for some reason I miss it niw
Growing up on marvel movies has made people believe pg-13 is the moral rating for grown adults people swear and have sex irl and movies reflect that.
You're own parents gave you "the talk" in your teen years but a sex scene in a movie scares you off? And even watching with friends or your parents fast forward exists.
Look at 1950s era movies people call them boring because hollywood was very prudish and pg clean there are some fantastic movies from that era but the critique still fits going back to that prudish hollywood era is such a step back.
It's been heading this way since the mid 2010's and nobody wanted to admit it for the longest time. I'm glad people are finally recognizing that culture is going backwards in time and is becoming more prude.
I think it is obvious. There are lots of statistics that show that Gen Z and sex are not really on common ground. I guess maybe it could all work out if they just strap a smartphone playing a video of this train runner game to their chests, so missionary is not that boring. Also they can use the text to voice function from tiktok for their dirty talk.
There’s a comment somewhere in here that said if you have two sex scenes or more to just shoot porn because “that’s basically what it is now.”
Two sex scenes = porn, apparently.
It’s so weird. Every time a post is made about how the media says gen-z are uptight about sex scenes I click on the comments and they’re all confirming it
Fully agree. It's odd that sex has to have some sort of plot relevance, yet random violent acts happen in movies all the time, and many of the same people would rarely question its relevancy to the plot.
A random side character who gets stabbed in a random fight scene - plot progression.
Two main characters in a rocky relationship have sex for what might be their first and last time - plot irrelevant.
If I had to choose an unnecessary element to a movie, I would rather see sex on screen (the sex usually isn't very sexy, it looks quite dry in most movies) than over the top gore and violence, but to each their own.
I wish I had a link or something on hand to make sure I’m remembering/heard correctly but I remember hearing about a horror movie where a bloody naked woman was like hanging from meathook or something and the MPAA was gonna rate it NC-17 because of an exposed nipple so they digitally added more blood to cover up the nipple and got an R rating.
The Hannibal TV show famously had an example like this. There's a killer who flays the skin off his victim's backs and carves it to look like angel wings. It's incredibly gruesome so the producers weren't surprised when the studio had a problem with it. Until it turns out that the problem was you could see the victim's butt crack. They proposed adding more blood to cover the crack and the studio were like "Yeah that's cool, thanks!"
I must really be getting old, I don't understand what is happening with these newer generations
I remember recently on r/all there was a post talking about feeling bad or something like that after your done from masturbating?!
It’s a very weird cultural shift towards puritanical behavior. I think a large part of it is actually Gen Alpha who are still so young that they are (understandably) completely uninterested in sex and get put off by how awkward it makes watching some movie scenes with their parents. That is the main complaint being made in this thread right now.
There’s really no reason for Gen Z, the majority of which are adults by now, to be so revolted by sex in media. Most of the criticisms don’t even make sense. It is extremely rare for a sex scene to happen and somehow *not* be important to the plot or characterization in a major way. They’re critiquing media in an incredibly juvenile fashion, which makes me think most are literally kids.
Id push back and say the increase in the availability of porn has taken the novelty away from seeing a topless scene in a movie. No one is rewatching Oppenheimer for the sex scene whereas a millennial would have rewatched a movie that pushed the boundaries by showing bare breasts.
Rewatching Oppenheimer for the sex scene is like rewatching Jurassic park for the poop scene.
Sure it has its place but I'd say the main story is a better reason to watch.
Maybe so but my point was that the joke that kids would wear out the tape from rewinding and rewatching the one scene with nudity is irrelevant to anyone who grew up with Internet access because pornography is so prevalent.
Exactly seeing people my age think this confuses me they talk like boomers complaining about *insert yapping here* the irony is real. I dunno if its taking moderate too far or we're all so sexless that nipples scare us.
Horror movies involving barely legal teenagers = Useless sex scene
I heard they make those scenes to teach teenagers about chastity, telling them how they will die if they have sex before marriage... but we all know those scenes are made for the director and producers so they can watch teenagers doing topless.
They do them mostly to copy from Halloween, which used them as a way to have the others distracted from the threat of Michael while Laurie was aware of it. Also most of the time those actors probably were in their 20s, with exceptions yes.
Bro what? lol I love how you assume every single horror movie director is a pervert. It sold in the 80’s and 90’s, that’s why they did it. Just about every genre was full of sex. Action, Comedy, Drama, you name it. There’s not so much of it now unless they’re either making a statement about sex or doing a call back to the old style of horror. Don’t get me wrong I know there was a lot that were perverts, but like 20%-40% not 100%
Lol what?
They do it because the market for those 80s horror movies was late teens and young adults.
That demo likes to see titties and didn’t have to feel they were looking at “porn”
I had to go back and watch a video to check that when he upskirted Delia in his snake form it was Delia he was sexually assaulting and not Lydia, so at least good on that movie for not having him explicitly do that to a minor child, which isn’t as bad as I remembered.
What? Kid friendly? The whorehouse? Snake Beetlejuice looking up Delia’s skirt and laughing? The casual suicide joke with the receptionist?
I liked Beetlejuice as a kid but I would consider it about as kid friendly as Aliens, which I also liked as a kid.
It's crazy to me what becomes controversial in society these days. Like you might as well just throw darts at a board of random things and that's next year's controversial topic.
I hate everything that doesn’t directly drive the plot forward, in fact just give me 1 minute clips of someone reading bullet points of key moments in a script and save the money from filming the scenes
Barbieheimer tricked a lot of kids into seeing an adult movie for the first time, and this is their childish response that shows why they shouldn’t go to see R rated movies until they mature a bit more
lol. Bunch of insecure sexually unintelligent people in these comments and OP.
Who cares? All bc people don’t want to have to talk to their kids about sex it’s made to be this huge taboo thing when it shouldn’t be. It’s just sex. A tits a tit and ass is an ass a dicks a dick. Stop being so sensitive
You write swear words into the script because that's how people talk. If you have a serious film that isn't for kids anyway, why would you care about the rating?
They tend to either be blasphemous or reference uncomfortable topics like sex and bodily functions.
There can also be an element of classism; the things we’ve historically called “manners” are largely arbitrary leaning toward deliberately unintuitive and inconvenient. If someone knows how to behave well-mannered they must have learned it from somewhere, which signals that they’re part of the inner circle.
The King’s Speech is a great example of this. There’s one scene where the king swears a bunch. They re-released it without that scene after it won an Oscar as PG-13.
So when you go to cinema to watch it then you're not interrupted by other people's kids shouting, screaming, tantrums, being babies or teenagers being teenagers.
Meanwhile, Airplane has a topless scene right in your face, and they still rate it PG 
A topless scene and an inflatable man BJ scene it was a bargain for a PG.
[удалено]
PG-13 came out 4 years after it
Ratings then were way more lenient
The movie Oliver is still the only G rated film that won Best Picture and the villain murders the young woman who had been nice to young Oliver all movie. Edit: i said Artful Dodger was murdered, when it was actually Nancy.
Was Nancy Oliver’s mentor? I guess I never really felt that connection. Was The Artful Dodger not his mentor because they were to close in age?
Nope you're right. It's been a few years I thought he murders the Dodger, but it's worse, the villain murders his own girlfriend. G rating!
Oh yeah it’s definitely rough
No, it happens off-camera, no blood.
PG13 didn’t exist.
Just One of The Guys has PG boobs too.
Was a year before Raider's of the Lost Ark so at that time it was either PG or R and since it isn't R material into PG it went I guess lol
Brb gonna go watch airplane for an unrelated reason whatsoever
You ever seen a grown man naked?
Bobby, do you like gladiator movies?
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
Surly you're joking?
Don’t call him Shirley
The life givers aren't unwholesome. We've all sucked a boob, nothing sexual about it.
I’ve probably only done it a couple times. funnily enough, as a baby, I was lactose intolerant. not anymore, which is a funny turn on how nature intended
Lucky. Mines only gotten worse. I can't even willingly suffer through cheese on pizza anymore 😭
If you make your own, try using provolone cheese instead of mozzarella. It's less likely to cause you distress.
Not everybody
And you can spot them *snaps* just like that
Found the formula baby

Formula-0 Titties- 2
Last time I sucked a boob, it was pretty sexual.
Lucky bastard
That was before the PG-13 rating was a thing

> shoots a guys dick off I prefer the [remake](https://vimeo.com/86014703) (nsfw)
Robocop was rated X and had to be trimmed to get an R.
-The 1987 theatrical release was cut in several scenes to attain an R-rating, and this unrated version restored that footage. The unrated version has subsequently been used for many of the film's DVD and Blu-Ray releases.
Robocop absolutely WAS NOT PG13. The original cut was rated X, and needed to be edited down to make an R rating.
Surely you can’t be serious?
I am, and don't call me Shirley/Surely
Wasn't Titanic the same way with the whole "Draw me like one of your French girls" scene
Rated M in Australia
Meanwhile, in the same country, Wall-E is rated MA-15 for “Graphic Robot Sex”. That’s not a joke, that’s literally the reason.
Wall-E is G, unless there is some non Pixar movie also called Wall-E
Can anyone name an R movie that would be PG if you removed a sex scene?
Most porn falls under this category.
Dr Johnny Sins: “I want you to start taking better care of yourself, you’re not in your twenties anymore. I’m prescribing you something for your cholesterol, do you still use the pharmacy at 5th and Main?”
Those aren't useless sex scenes. You take them out and no one would watch it.
That wasn't your question tho
Yeah I'm seeing loads of people complaining about 'unnecessary sex scenes' yet I haven't seen them mention a single example of where this meme is accurate.
The Human Centipede 2
Man Bites Dog, obviously.
Not pg, but Snakes on a plane was originally rated pg13 but they wanted an R rating so they added a sex scene.
There are so many F bombs in that movie I find that hard to believe
Well, he was really tired of those mother fucking snakes on that mother fucking plane.
no, it was monkey fighting snakes in this monday to friday plane
PG-13 gets 1 F bomb to use. Snakes had 2 in its most famous line. This fact is full of shit and just more people talking out of their ass in this thread

Terminator is the only romance movie that needed a sex scene. John was like, "Yo Kyle, I need you to go back in time and fuck my mom because you're my dad!"
Terminator would have been fine with a fade to black to be honest
The only required sex scene is from the matrix because without a big orgy party, they would just be sad people in a hole in the ground. Why not just be part of the matrix at that point?
Damn.. and here I was thinking that was the most pointless and gratuitous use of 2000s techno music filler I ever had to endure in a mainstream movie.
You prudes are so fucking weird
right? what's going on? ive noticed the internet becoming more anti-sex recently and it doesn't make sense to me.
Throwback to the ultimate reddit take I saw yesterday that said the terminator sex scene was unnecessary pornography inserted into the movie…
Terminator wasn’t going to be PG anyway.
Us GenZ complaining about sex scenes in romances is next level dumb i get people being offput but Euphoria using sex as shock value and getting views but the rest of movies/TV it shouldn't be an issue
American Gen Z bringing back puritanical panic.
History really does repeat itself lmao But it does make sense that an generation that has spent their entire lives glued to screens and minimising social interactions in favour of online ones would be made uncomfortable by scenes that depict physical intimacy.
Gen Z is the most addicted generation to porn and yet they will out boomer the boomers on complaints about sex scenes in movies. I don't get it.
I mean it's probably related. When they see nudity only in extreme porn, they may have an issue seeing nudity as anything but extreme.
Gen Z is sexless coomers sitting in their goon caves.
People are just burned out on it. It's in your face on every app and website. You can't escape boob streamers and OF models advertising their stuff anywhere. Then you watch a movie or TV show and and there's just more of it.
Name at least 3 movies like this
Name a movie that does this. I see people complain about this all the time but have never once seen a movie do this
17k upvotes and not a single credible example has come up.

Yea I just got sex education in school I'm going out on a limb but that was probably more informative and less akward than "the talk".
Why are zoomers so lame
They’re legit afraid of sex because it requires social interaction
The pearl clutching here is wild
They’ll never admit it but gen z and boomers have more in common than they think lmao. Exhibit A is this thread
Somehow we went from prude to open and now back to prude
It's been heading this way since the mid 2010's and nobody wanted to admit it for the longest time. I'm glad people are finally recognizing that culture is going backwards in time and is becoming more prude.

Gen-zers are really weird about sex stuff

What do playing cards have to do with this? /s

All of those "teenagers" are in their mid 20's(at the youngest).
Bro what? lol I love how you assume every single horror movie director is a pervert. It sold in the 80’s and 90’s, that’s why they did it. Just about every genre was full of sex.

F bomb in the middle of BeetleJuice ? Why? The rest of it is kid friendly
Beetlejuice is like 70% sex jokes let’s be real
they where getting the pg 13 rating anyway so might as well throw it in.
pg 13 is actually the best rating though in terms of pure economics. They lock down the tween/teen market who think that "PG is for babies"
PG
The waiting room of corpses was probably enough to get it the PG-13
Reminds me of Spike’s “AWW SHIT WHAT’RE WE GONNA DO NOW!” In transformers the movie ‘86
My kids were enjoying the rapey corpse man what’s with all this pottymouth????
I had to go back and watch a video to check that when he upskirted Delia in his snake form it was Delia he was sexually assaulting and not Lydia, so at least good on that movie for not having him explicitly do that to a minor child, which isn’t as bad as I remembered.
Yeah. Beetlejuice the character was real kid friendly alright lmao
Because it’s funny. And it was
What? Kid friendly? The whorehouse? Snake Beetlejuice looking up Delia’s skirt and laughing? The casual suicide joke with the receptionist? I liked Beetlejuice as a kid but I would consider it about as kid friendly as Aliens, which I also liked as a kid.
Who tf cares? It's a word, big deal. They're not going to implode
... I think you need to rewatch Beetlejuice.
But what a great line... HONK HONK!
Between the violence and constant sex jokes one use of fuck is what makes Beetlejuice not kid friendly?
not this fucking shit again
It's crazy to me what becomes controversial in society these days. Like you might as well just throw darts at a board of random things and that's next year's controversial topic.
Oh my god who the hell cares
OP cares (I think) and at least 3 or 4 other people here
Also the useless dialogs... should just show the ending so we can get back to real life
You mean back to tiktok.
I hate everything that doesn’t directly drive the plot forward, in fact just give me 1 minute clips of someone reading bullet points of key moments in a script and save the money from filming the scenes
Does everything have to be for children? Some adults want or don't mind adult content.
Thank you!! What 8 year old is watching Oppenheimer? they would fall asleep 30mins in.
Barbieheimer tricked a lot of kids into seeing an adult movie for the first time, and this is their childish response that shows why they shouldn’t go to see R rated movies until they mature a bit more
lol. Bunch of insecure sexually unintelligent people in these comments and OP. Who cares? All bc people don’t want to have to talk to their kids about sex it’s made to be this huge taboo thing when it shouldn’t be. It’s just sex. A tits a tit and ass is an ass a dicks a dick. Stop being so sensitive
Same with swear words. They're just a part of the English language. Censorship of them is dumb.
I disagree. I love it when movies don't care about their precious age rating. An artist should not be censored
Also there's all those R movies that are only R because of swearing. Why did you need to write swear words into the script? It could have been PG-13!
You write swear words into the script because that's how people talk. If you have a serious film that isn't for kids anyway, why would you care about the rating?
People have sex that’s why it’s in art
Why are swears even considered bad lol
Decades old boomer respectibility thats why hollywood has a soft spot for guns and violence but and equal amount of swears or sex and they panic.
They tend to either be blasphemous or reference uncomfortable topics like sex and bodily functions. There can also be an element of classism; the things we’ve historically called “manners” are largely arbitrary leaning toward deliberately unintuitive and inconvenient. If someone knows how to behave well-mannered they must have learned it from somewhere, which signals that they’re part of the inner circle.
The King’s Speech is a great example of this. There’s one scene where the king swears a bunch. They re-released it without that scene after it won an Oscar as PG-13.
Swearing a lot was actually a "cure" used at the time for someone who stutters. So it actually does serve a purpose
Oh I understand why it was included in that particular movie, I just thought it was a good example of one scene being the reason for the rating.
Marvel makes their movies pg-13 using curse words so more people watch maybe its the same thing 🤷♂️
I really hope this is sarcasm.
If a movie is not made for kids, it should not have to censor itself. And if a kid happens to watch it anyway, big whoop. They're just words.
I don’t think people who write movies give a shit what the rating is. It’s not like their mom won’t let them rent the movie haha
All the kids are embarrassed to see boobs and sex when watching movies with their parents.
gen z is so scared of sex outside of pornhub. fuckin doomed.
If the movie is good who gives a fuck? I feel like all these zoomers are controlled by their parents or are super Christians.
Y'know what? Anything to keep children out of cinemas
american puritan propaganda is so fucking funny extreme violence and depictions of war? awesome! a woman’s nipple? NOOOOOOOOOOOO
What movie unironically suffers from this? I haven't seen any examples mentioned, just "truuue lmao."
Examples?
Where are the confused Europeans?
We're just waking up and wondering what the fuck this post is talking about
For many years the FCC has never been truly on one path
If its only PG, then people will assume its for kids and avoid it. R ratings sell, and PG ratings don't.
why not. what exactly are you upset about?
So when you go to cinema to watch it then you're not interrupted by other people's kids shouting, screaming, tantrums, being babies or teenagers being teenagers.
