Should be RE-rated 'PG-13' or 'R'
Yes, and I mean seriously, this flicks to be re-reviewed by the MPAA, and given appropriate ratings that logically show what kind of content is included in these films. I watched them, was regrettably shocked, and am generally concerned for those thinking of watching these films with younger audiences, because I'd WOULDN'T at all feel comfortable you even showing these to an 8-year old.
Sure glad I wasn't born much in the 80's - ratings were REALLY weird back then! lulz

- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsRoy ScheiderRobert ShawRichard DreyfussWhen a killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Cape Cod, it's up to a local sheriff, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down.I mean, C'MON! Why hasn't this gotten the rating treatment yet??
Seriously in a movie with profanity, mild nudity, a lot of blood, a corpse, and someone DYING a horrible death on screen! - DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsHarrison FordKate CapshawKe Huy QuanIn 1935, Indiana Jones is tasked by Indian villagers with reclaiming a rock stolen from them by a secret cult beneath the catacombs of an ancient palace.Man, that sacrifice scene with the "heart ripped out" & "burned alive" scene was downright intense!
Seriously, RE-RATE this movie! - DirectorMel BrooksStarsMel BrooksJohn CandyRick MoranisA star-pilot for hire and his trusty sidekick must come to the rescue of a princess and save Planet Druidia from the clutches of the evil Spaceballs.Though I like Mel Brooks - he's Jewish, so I just naturally do.
I can see the intent was to make it a Star Wars parody, but I can't help imagining various fans being upset by this, and in hindsight, it hardly made me laugh at all.
It could've been funny & strong, but I didn't sense really any effort.
Plus, too much cursing & suggestive material. - DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsHarrison FordKaren AllenPaul FreemanIn 1936, archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is hired by the U.S. government to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis can obtain its awesome powers.Just the face-melting Nazis.... seriously.
- DirectorMartin RosenJohn HubleyStarsJohn HurtRichard BriersRalph RichardsonHoping to escape destruction by human developers and save their community, a colony of rabbits, led by Hazel and Fiver, seek out a safe place to set up a new warren.You can leave Disney or even Don Bluth to the art of cartoon rabbits - this one is CERTAINLY not for kids! No matter what positive reviews or Hollywood say.
Too much violence, blood, and carnage to at all be called a movie suitable for young children - rather a piece of work that will only SCAR them for life! - DirectorJohn HughesStarsMolly RingwaldAnthony Michael HallJustin HenryA girl's "sweet" sixteenth birthday is anything but special: her family forgets about it, and she suffers from every embarrassment possible.Not only is it filled with a ridiculous plotline & unlikable bratty characters even if it was centered on a girl who's family who just forgot her birthday, but the amount of profanity, nudity, and bad behavior is ATROCIOUS to be garnered with a friggin' "PG".
I mean, what the HECK! - DirectorTobe HooperStarsJoBeth WilliamsHeather O'RourkeCraig T. NelsonA family's home is haunted by a host of demonic ghosts.That face in the mirror scene ALONE! My gosh!
- DirectorTerry GilliamTerry JonesStarsGraham ChapmanJohn CleeseEric IdleKing Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table embark on a surreal, low-budget search for the Holy Grail, encountering many, very silly obstacles.Not entirely a series I'm even fond of! "Monty Python' is quite overrated, and I recommend you try watching "Blackadder", "Tommy Cooper", "Fawlty Towers", or "Morecambe and Wise" instead.
It's quite retarded & offensive too! And ppl say that's what makes it so "funny" - no, you need effort, actual effort. - DirectorPenny MarshallStarsTom HanksElizabeth PerkinsRobert LoggiaAfter wishing to be made big, a teenage boy wakes the next morning to find himself mysteriously in the body of an adult.I mean, MAN! A PG film with an "F-bomb", other curewords, and loads of sexual content.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsAlec BaldwinGeena DavisMichael KeatonThe spirits of a deceased couple are harassed by an unbearable family that has moved into their home, and hire a malicious spirit to drive them out.Same as "Big.".
Though I appreciate the Michael Keaton, creativity, comedy, and practical effects, but it's really not my cup of tea. - DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsMichael J. FoxChristopher LloydLea ThompsonMarty McFly, a 17-year-old high school student, is accidentally sent 30 years into the past in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his close friend, the maverick scientist Doc Brown.The bad attitudes & bad languages nearly almost took me out of this supposed "classic" film. I almost came close to NOT caring about any of the characters.
Too much swearing to absurdly keep it a "PG" rating. - DirectorTerry JonesStarsGraham ChapmanJohn CleeseMichael PalinBorn on the original Christmas in the stable next door to Jesus Christ, Brian of Nazareth spends his life being mistaken for a messiah.Same as the Holy Grail.
- DirectorJim AbrahamsDavid ZuckerJerry ZuckerStarsRobert HaysJulie HagertyLeslie NielsenAfter the crew becomes sick with food poisoning, a neurotic ex-fighter pilot must safely land a commercial airplane full of passengers.SERIOUSLY!!!
BARE BREASTS get shown at one point in this flick!
HOOOOOOOOOW is that considered "PG" material!!!!??? - DirectorWillard HuyckStarsLea ThompsonJeffrey JonesTim RobbinsA sarcastic humanoid duck is pulled from his homeworld to Earth where he must stop an alien invasion with the help of a nerdy scientist and a struggling female rock singer.
- DirectorTony ScottStarsTom CruiseTim RobbinsKelly McGillisAs students at the United States Navy's elite fighter weapons school compete to be best in the class, one daring young pilot learns a few things from a civilian instructor that are not taught in the classroom.I don't even care if it's the movie that "turned Tom Cruise famous" - this shouldn't even be the movie you should watch with your children.
TONS of inappropriate sexual content & language, especially a load of "S" words.
Seriously, MPAA, DO SOMETHING! - DirectorFranklin J. SchaffnerStarsCharlton HestonRoddy McDowallKim HunterAn astronaut crew crash-lands on a planet where highly intelligent non-human ape species are dominant and humans are enslaved.There's a lot of inappropriate violence, language, and two or three scenes of Heston being naked.
- DirectorIvan ReitmanStarsBill MurrayDan AykroydSigourney WeaverThree parapsychologists forced out of their university funding set up shop as a unique ghost removal service in New York City, attracting frightened yet skeptical customers.Loads of smoking, sexual innuendos, cursing, and weird story lines.
- DirectorJim AbrahamsDavid ZuckerJerry ZuckerStarsVal KilmerOmar SharifJeremy KempAn American rock and roll singer is invited to a cultural festival in East Germany in order to distract from a plot to destroy NATO submarines, but he accidentally becomes involved in a resistance plot to rescue an imprisoned scientist.Funny film, kinda underrated, from Val Kilmer.
- DirectorIvan ReitmanStarsBill MurrayDan AykroydSigourney WeaverThe discovery of a massive river of ectoplasm and a resurgence of spectral activity allows the staff of Ghostbusters to revive the business.(Same as above)
- DirectorRon HowardStarsTom HanksDaryl HannahEugene LevyA young man is reunited with a mermaid he briefly encountered as a boy and falls in love with her without knowing her secret.
- DirectorCarroll BallardStarsCharles Martin SmithBrian DennehyZachary IttimangnaqA government researcher, sent to research the "menace" of wolves in the north, learns about the true beneficial and positive nature of the species....and also should be totally removed from the "Walt Disney" category.
- DirectorFrank OzStarsBill MurrayRichard DreyfussJulie HagertyA successful psychotherapist loses his mind after one of his most dependent patients, an obsessive-compulsive neurotic, tracks him down during his family vacation.Just the abundant humor & language.... Man!
- DirectorWolfgang PetersenStarsNoah HathawayBarret OliverTami StronachA troubled boy dives into a wondrous fantasy world through the pages of a mysterious book.
- DirectorHal AshbyStarsRuth GordonBud CortVivian PicklesYoung, rich, and obsessed with death, Harold finds himself changed forever when he meets lively septuagenarian Maude at a funeral.
- DirectorWoody AllenStarsWoody AllenDiane KeatonTony RobertsAlvy Singer, a divorced Jewish comedian, reflects on his relationship with ex-lover Annie Hall, an aspiring nightclub singer, which ended abruptly just like his previous marriages.Just Woody Allen's constant habit of constant sexual adultery and taking the Lord's name in vain really took me out of the movie!
I love Jewish people, but I don't like it when people use their gifted talents for the wrong stupid things!
IMO, this film shouldn't have won "Best Picture". - DirectorRichard DonnerStarsSean AstinJosh BrolinJeff CohenA group of young misfits called The Goonies discover an ancient map and set out on an adventure to find a legendary pirate's long-lost treasure.LOTS of swearing & horrible attitudes, including a disfigured cousin of Jason Vorhees!
I mean HECK! I bet a lot of kids got nightmares from that character! - DirectorJerome RobbinsRobert WiseStarsNatalie WoodGeorge ChakirisRichard BeymerTwo youngsters from rival New York City gangs fall in love, but tensions between their respective friends build toward tragedy.
- DirectorLawrence KasanoffStarsHilary DuffHaylie DuffCharlie SheenThe evil Brand X joins a supermarket that becomes a city after closing time.The animation is horrible, the jokes are horrible, and the story is all-round horrible!
I suggest it should be rated 'R' for the frightening images of horribly animated characters, and the constant suggestive sexual innuendos.
As the Nostalgia Critic says, "FE - TISH - MO - VIE." - DirectorStephen ChboskyStarsLogan LermanEmma WatsonEzra MillerCharlie, a 15-year-old introvert, enters high school and is nervous about his new life. When he befriends his seniors, he learns to cope with his friend's suicide and his tumultuous past.Completely overrated anyways.
- DirectorMike NicholsStarsDustin HoffmanAnne BancroftKatharine RossA disillusioned college graduate finds himself torn between his older lover and her daughter.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsMia WasikowskaJohnny DeppHelena Bonham CarterNineteen-year-old Alice returns to the magical world from her childhood adventure, where she reunites with her old friends and learns of her true destiny: to end the Red Queen's reign of terror.Characters get STABBED in the eye, decapitated heads are shown, and a lot of your favorite Hollywood celebrities (except for Hathaway) are rather dressed so weird & depicted so weird.
- DirectorHal NeedhamStarsBurt ReynoldsRoger MooreFarrah FawcettA wide variety of eccentric competitors participate in a wild and illegal cross-country road race. However, the eccentric entrants will do anything to win the road race, including low-down, dirty tricks.This film was pretty entertaining & funny first off, but the constant swearing, especially from Burt Reynolds, and all the suggestive sexual innuendos just really made it inappropriate to be a 'PG' movie.
- DirectorJack SmightStarsCharlton HestonHenry FondaJames CoburnA dramatization of the battle that was widely heralded as a turning point of the Pacific Theatre of World War II.Worse than the violence, Charlton Heston swore, the Japanese spoke english, and many of the war scenes were RIPPED OFF from Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970).... that's insane

- DirectorRon HowardStarsTom HanksBill PaxtonKevin BaconNASA must devise a strategy to return Apollo 13 to Earth safely after the spacecraft undergoes massive internal damage putting the lives of the three astronauts on board in jeopardy.I really like this film, but the amount of profanity & peril is quite surprising for a "PG".
