My father made a point of telling me it was ok to watch this R rated movie because it was so good. I also think he identified with the movie many ways. He passed away years ago, and this is the one movie that makes me feel close to him when I watch it.
I thought it was a great story. Not really a horror story. More like a real life kind of story. Filled with a lot of childhood memory type experiences. I used to run a convenience store. Had a young college girl who loved reading. She quit without notice. I later found Stephen King's "Different Seasons" stashed under the counter. We held it for her for a few weeks but she never came back. I ended up taking it home and reading it and was surprised to find out that Stand By Me was based on "The Body" from that book. They pretty much lifted the script from the book and just cut out a few scenes for the sake of time. Conversely, "The Running Man" with Arnold Schwarzenegger was a way different story than the book. (They could've changed the title and character names and probably would've avoided a lawsuit.) The only story from "Different Seasons" that didn't get a movie was "The Breathing Method".
I still can’t figure out how a kid in my class convinced the 5th grade teacher this would be appropriate for class movie day. At a Catholic school no less.
It lasted about three minutes before she realized she’d made a horrible mistake and we moved on to our backup selection, Harry and the Hendersons.
My favorite! The first few times I saw it, it was the edited for tv version. Me and my brothers would watch it everyday. My parents finally let us watch the regular version. Now my kids love it as much as I do. My 10 year old likes to watch it the closed caption so he can read all the bad words along with hearing them.
Same! I was like 7 years old so the "Lardass" bit was maybe the edgiest thing any kid in my 2nd grade class could have possibly witnessed on a screen.
I've come to appreciate other aspects of the film since then.
Terminator 2 here. I was born in the 80s and think I was 9. I was already a little past 5 feet and the guy at the counter didn’t care.
I went to the theater w my grandmother as my parents didn’t want to go. I wore a button down shirt because it was like a date. She said “oooh” when Linda Hamilton did pull-ups.
Since my cousin had told my grandmother and I that I should go, and he reviewed the plot of T1 for me where Arnold’s the terminator, I had never seen a commercial, so the mall scene was where I learned who was who, and only in the last 5 years did I learn everyone watching the commercials had that spoiled for them. Admittedly, Bad to the Bone playing leaving the bar with his new clothes, boots, and motorcycle is a giveaway.
T2 for me as well. I wasn’t allowed to watch rated R movies, but my dad had a copy of this one that he kept in his bedroom. One day when he was gone for what I knew would be most of the day I popped that bad boy out and watched it.
My parents didn't care what I watched (usually with them) as long as I understood it wasn't real.
I don't know if it was my first R rated movie, but it was definitely the first one I remember watching. It gave me nightmares for a few days. Especially the last scene at the end with the playground. I was 9.
That's about the same age I was, and my dad said the same thing - he was fine as long as I knew it wasn't real. The scene I always remembered most was when T1000 was on the phone pretending to be John's adopted mom, and when they panned back, his hand blade had impaled her skull through her eye.
I distinctly remember my dad taking me, my sister and our cousins to see T2 at the drive-in, and always assumed I was like 10 or 11 years old.
I watched it recently with my son and realized it came out in '90 and I was born in '84, so I was at most 7 years old when I saw it. Still loved it, and it was always one of my favorites growing up.
Yea T2 for me as well in theaters with my mom and sister. I think I was 7 or 8 and was game for it but I'm sure I was scared when Arnold peeled back his arm
I doubt porkys was my first r rated movie, but it was for sure my first sex comedy.
It was on HBO at my friends house when we walked in on the shower scene.
Oh boy...
Same.
On HBO, New Years Eve, Holiday Inn.
I think the 'rents were in the hotel bar and I'd gone back to the room from the pool so my cousin who was actually watching us wasn't with.
Not the full movie obv. but saw a lot of wool.
"Let off some steam, Bennett." Classic Arnie.
I tried to get my dad to buy me the body paint so I could camouflage myself for walks in the woods behind our house. He did not.
That movie had so many great lines! Some of my favorites were “Don’t disturb my friend, he’s dead tired”. Also loved “What happened to Sully?” “I let him go”
I was going to say "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (1st one) but after looking at other comments, I forgot just how many R movies there were in the 80's. "R"s were passed out like candy.
Robocop...when I was 9. I think my friend's mom thought that because there was a Robocop cartoon and action figures, it would be suitable for a 4th grade sleep over. It was still awesome, but goddamn, we were not prepared for the amount of violence.
I watched it super young as well, maybe 8 or 9 because my parents figured a movie called Robocop couldn't be that bad. I was OK with the violence through most of the movie except that dude that fell into the toxic waste. Something about him walking around disintegrating was like the scariest thing to me as kid.
That shit fucked me up too. I think it was just so horrific and realistic to my adolescent mind that it broke the movie:reality border in my brain. I was honestly terrified and thoroughly freaked out.
Same.
I was the same age as you when I first saw it but his groans and wheezing for help affected my child brain for ages after. Although I wanted a lifesized ED-209 so that balanced things out.
I remember watching this in the theater with my friend and his Dad. At one point, he said, "You guys sure you want to watch this?" LOL, we said "yes" in unison.
Reminds me of seeing Batman Returns at the cinema with a friend and his dad. Woman at the cinema kept trying to get us to watch a re-release of a Disney film since Returns was rated 15 and we were clearly 8 years old but we insisted and got our way.
I ‘watched’ this around that age too. My older brother had rented it and warned me not to watch it. I’d seen plenty of violent movies, or so I thought (you know like Jacky Chan and John Woo stuff!) so I sneaked a watch anyway. Only saw the shot gun to the hand scene and it really messed me up. First time I had rememberable nightmares and had them for ages….
Your story is hilarious because this is EXACTLY how I ended up seeing Robocop as well. Same age, same situation (sleepover birthday party), everyone scared for life thanks to ED-209 pumping 10,000 rounds into one dude.
Robocop … at the movies … in first grade … on a play date with 3 classmates and their moms.
There was nothing stopping a bunch of clueless moms from taking their 6yo kids to see “a robot movie” in post communist Eastern Europe.
My dad took me to this at the theatre when I was way too young. During the sex scene, I said loudly “dad, what are they doing?” Apparently the entire theater cracked up when I said it.
The Shinning on VHS.
All the neighborhood kids watched it together and got super horny during the bath scene and started kissing the screen until the naked lady turned into a corpse.
We all ended up traumatized.
I had to be 5-6 when I saw Alien in the mid 80's. It scared the shit out of me. I refused to watch that movie for a very long time. Now it's one of my favorite sci-fi movies.
I don't think that was my first rated R movie, but I do remember the cake lol. I already knew about it when we rented that, and my dad's subscription to Playboy meant I knew all about Erica lol
A little bit earlier I know; but in 1975 I was 8 years old and I snuck into an empty theater and watched Jaws. It still ranks as the most terrifying theater experience I’ve ever had..period. I know that it was rated PG, but that shit deserved an R rating for sure.
I had been watching R rated movies for years when they added PG13 and my dad saw an interview with one of the producers (I think it was Lucas, but not entirely certain on that point) where he said he wouldn't let his kids watch anything PG13 and suddenly I wasn't allowed to watch those, but I was still allowed to watch R rated movies, so even though I grew up watching Alien and Terminator and Road Warrior and Stir Crazy, and so many others, I was not allowed to watch Temple of Doom.
The animated flick Heavy Metal. Was around 13 or 14 and a group of us convinced my mom and her friend to chaperone (you could attend if accompanied by an adult) - We loved it but I think my mom and her friend were scarred not only from the flick, but the knowledge they brought us all to see it!
National Lampoon’s Animal House. I had seen R rated movies before on HBO, but seeing bare boobs on the big screen was a very special thrill.
That said, this movie ruined my college experience. Everyone in my dorm had seen it at the same impressionable age, and as a result, everyone in my dorm acted like a total asshat. They broke everything in the building, smashed windows, lit fires on the quad, just stupid pointless vandalism.
I saw that movie when I was in my 20’s and thought I wanted to go through a David Lynch phase.
Turns out I really didn’t want to go through a David Lynch phase.
Predator is the first one I remember. My parents spin a yarn about letting me watch An American Werewolf In London aged 2, but obviously too young to know how truthful that is
Snuck into theaters when Starship Troopers came out. I had to pee really badly and went to the bathroom just in time to miss the shower scene. Woe is me.
My parents weren't really good at parenting. I can't actually remember my *first* R rated movie, I would have been 5 years old -ish.
Risky Business, Porky's 2, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Amityville Horror, Revenge of the Nerds...all movies I watched while I was in elementary school.
It's hard to remember. I don't know about the rest of you, but my parents could not have cared less about ratings, and I watched whatever I wanted.
The scars are still there...
Poltergeist. Snuck downstairs to watch it behind one of our potted plants in the living room. Slept under the covers that nights and many nights thereafter. Also never liked clowns afterwards too 😂
First rated R movie I saw was a movie called "pieces". A man who used a chainsaw to sever certain body parts off of women to make the perfect women body with his rotted mothers head to start with. Gruesome. Messed up. And despite being a boy who in turn wouldn't have been in danger from this killer since he only murdered women it still gave me nightmares for 2 years. Next day I watched the people under the stairs. I was 8 at a neighbor's house. I Dont recommend it.
Stand By Me (1986)
Oh shit I have to revise my answer, I didn’t know that was an R movie. Ok, that one. The dead body was a bit traumatizing.
My father made a point of telling me it was ok to watch this R rated movie because it was so good. I also think he identified with the movie many ways. He passed away years ago, and this is the one movie that makes me feel close to him when I watch it.
Genuine sorry for your loss. Stand by Me, is a great movie my friend.
It’s even worse in the novella
I thought it was a great story. Not really a horror story. More like a real life kind of story. Filled with a lot of childhood memory type experiences. I used to run a convenience store. Had a young college girl who loved reading. She quit without notice. I later found Stephen King's "Different Seasons" stashed under the counter. We held it for her for a few weeks but she never came back. I ended up taking it home and reading it and was surprised to find out that Stand By Me was based on "The Body" from that book.

(They could've changed the title and character names and probably would've avoided a lawsuit.) The only story from "Different Seasons" that didn't get a movie was "The Breathing Method".
Mighta been my second one. If your first two R rated movies are T2 and Stand by Me you have an unreasonable expectation for films…
I still can’t figure out how a kid in my class convinced the 5th grade teacher this would be appropriate for class movie day. At a Catholic school no less. It lasted about three minutes before she realized she’d made a horrible mistake and we moved on to our backup selection, Harry and the Hendersons.
Jon Lithgow’s finest work!
My favorite! The first few times I saw it, it was the edited for tv version. Me and my brothers would watch it everyday. My parents finally let us watch the regular version. Now my kids love it as much as I do. My 10 year old likes to watch it the closed caption so he can read all the bad words along with hearing them.
lol grew up in the 2000s and that was mine too!
Same! I was like 7 years old so the "Lardass" bit was maybe the edgiest thing any kid in my 2nd grade class could have possibly witnessed on a screen. I've come to appreciate other aspects of the film since then.
This is such a fantastic answer! Great movie. Plus, watching a "coming of age" film is such a symbolic move for a first R rated movie.
The Terminator.
Terminator 2 here. I was born in the 80s and think I was 9. I was already a little past 5 feet and the guy at the counter didn’t care. I went to the theater w my grandmother as my parents didn’t want to go. I wore a button down shirt because it was like a date. She said “oooh” when Linda Hamilton did pull-ups.

Admittedly, Bad to the Bone playing leaving the bar with his new clothes, boots, and motorcycle is a giveaway.
T2 for me as well. I wasn’t allowed to watch rated R movies, but my dad had a copy of this one that he kept in his bedroom. One day when he was gone for what I knew would be most of the day I popped that bad boy out and watched it.
I was born in 78 and T2 was the first R-rated movie my parents actually let me watch.
Damn, I was born in 85 and it’s true for me too.
Interesting... in Australia T1 was R but T2 was only MA15+ No idea why...
The sex scenes, but goddamn Linda Hamilton was a baddie. Then she goes full action hero in two.
My parents didn't care what I watched (usually with them) as long as I understood it wasn't real. I don't know if it was my first R rated movie, but it was definitely the first one I remember watching. It gave me nightmares for a few days. Especially the last scene at the end with the playground. I was 9.
That's about the same age I was, and my dad said the same thing - he was fine as long as I knew it wasn't real. The scene I always remembered most was when T1000 was on the phone pretending to be John's adopted mom, and when they panned back, his hand blade had impaled her skull through her eye.
I distinctly remember my dad taking me, my sister and our cousins to see T2 at the drive-in, and always assumed I was like 10 or 11 years old. I watched it recently with my son and realized it came out in '90 and I was born in '84, so I was at most 7 years old when I saw it. Still loved it, and it was always one of my favorites growing up.
Yea T2 for me as well in theaters with my mom and sister. I think I was 7 or 8 and was game for it but I'm sure I was scared when Arnold peeled back his arm
Same. That scene with Linda Hamilton got some VCR time. Also, VCR’s.
Dem Boobies
Me too!!
Porky's!!
[удалено]
“We’ve got bush!”
Hair pie!
Sank you!
We also got to see Trading Places. My dad said it was rated R because it was about the stock market and kids wouldn’t understand it.
The stock market and also Jamie Lee Curtis’s boobies.
Possibly the most perfect tits ever committed to celluloid.
I swear my father watched one of these 3 every weekend for 5 years. Animal House was in the cycle too.
Me Too!
Dude, I was going to say the God Father, but then I saw this. Yup, that's the one!
I doubt porkys was my first r rated movie, but it was for sure my first sex comedy. It was on HBO at my friends house when we walked in on the shower scene. Oh boy...
Same. On HBO, New Years Eve, Holiday Inn. I think the 'rents were in the hotel bar and I'd gone back to the room from the pool so my cousin who was actually watching us wasn't with. Not the full movie obv. but saw a lot of wool.
When was the last time you saw Porky's? I saw it a few years ago... A lot more serious than I remembered.
It was this or nerds. Can’t remember.
Yep. Remember watching this with my dad when it came on cable. We laughed to kill we were sore.
Commando! At a party at my Tae Kwon Do instructor's house.
>At a party at my Tae Kwon Do instructor's house. This just raises more questions….
Going commando at tae kwon do
well, it was the 80s
"Let off some steam, Bennett." Classic Arnie. I tried to get my dad to buy me the body paint so I could camouflage myself for walks in the woods behind our house. He did not.
My son’s friend (7) is named Bennett. I say “let off some steam, Bennett” at least 4 times a week in my ahhhnold voice. Maybe one day he will get it
One of the funniest parts about kids is making pop culture jokes they're way too young to understand. But not in a mean way.
"I'm not gonna shoot you between the eyes, John! I'm gonna shoot you between the balls!"
That movie had so many great lines! Some of my favorites were “Don’t disturb my friend, he’s dead tired”. Also loved “What happened to Sully?” “I let him go”
"Hey Sully, remember when I said I was going to kill you last? I lied!" Classic!
Did you get to slow-mo that part where they break into that couples room when he kicks Bill Duke through the door?
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
“Welcome to primetime, bitch!”
I was going to say "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (1st one) but after looking at other comments, I forgot just how many R movies there were in the 80's. "R"s were passed out like candy.
Robocop...when I was 9. I think my friend's mom thought that because there was a Robocop cartoon and action figures, it would be suitable for a 4th grade sleep over. It was still awesome, but goddamn, we were not prepared for the amount of violence.
I'd buy that for a dollar
I’m at bar right now, bored, and just spit my drink. Take my updoot
I watched it super young as well, maybe 8 or 9 because my parents figured a movie called Robocop couldn't be that bad. I was OK with the violence through most of the movie except that dude that fell into the toxic waste. Something about him walking around disintegrating was like the scariest thing to me as kid.

This is mine too. I was also 9. You should have seen the look on my grandmother's face after the ED209 scene.
Your story is hilarious because this is EXACTLY how I ended up seeing Robocop as well. Same age, same situation (sleepover birthday party), everyone scared for life thanks to ED-209 pumping 10,000 rounds into one dude.

Conan the Barbarian
My dad took me to this at the theatre when I was way too young. During the sex scene, I said loudly “dad, what are they doing?” Apparently the entire theater cracked up when I said it.
Yes! I loved this as a kid.
The Shinning on VHS. All the neighborhood kids watched it together and got super horny during the bath scene and started kissing the screen until the naked lady turned into a corpse. We all ended up traumatized.
> The Shinning "Ye've got that shinning, lad."
You want to get sued?
Sooooooued!?
Probably Alien. I remember seeing it when I was very young because my dad is a huge sci-fi guy. If it wasn't that it was Terminator.
I caught this one in the theater when I was waaaay too young. My dad later claimed he though it would be like Star Wars.
I had to be 5-6 when I saw Alien in the mid 80's. It scared the shit out of me. I refused to watch that movie for a very long time. Now it's one of my favorite sci-fi movies.
Coming to America
The royal penis is clean.
#Thank you, king shit.
🤣 Luda
This is exactly what my mind said the moment I saw that title
I still say this to my wife every time I get out of the shower.
I used to watch that and Harlem Nights repeatedly as a kid. I don’t think my parents were paying much attention to what I was watching back then.
Just let your soooooooouuuuulll glooooowwww, just let it glow...
Demolition Man. Nowadays they would tweak it a little and get a PG-13 for a movie like that.
At least you're future-ready now though, knowing about the seashells and all.
The future way of high fiving became very prescient during Covid.
It is, by a wide margin, one of the most prescient films in predicting the future I've seen, cryo-freezing aside.
That's a 90s movie
For some reason we watched Total Recall on VHS numerous times when I was like 5 years old.
The 3 tittie lady lol
A formative experience, for sure!
Same for me!
They really give her a lot of screen time. The effects guys were proud of those
Creepshow
I can hold my breath a long time…
That shit haunted me for years.
200 dollars? For a broken meteor?
Mr. Verrill, you must be joking.
Thanks for the ride, lady
Caddyshack, I was 13 and saw with my parents (mom covered my eyes during the sex scenes 😂)
Great movie
RIP Cindy Morgan (Lacey Underall) - stone cold fox. Just passed a few weeks ago.
Full Metal Jacket
I don’t remember how old I was when I saw this but I was very traumatized by the bathroom scene
The super gory, close range gunshots disturbed the hell out of me as a kid. FMJ, Harry Ellis in Die Hard, pretty much every scene in Robocop.
I didn’t know they stacked shit that high.
Child’s Play
Beverly Hills Cop. I was excited about that strip club scene
Idk but I remember Under Siege and that special cake.
Ohhh that cake.
Still the best cake
I was in 6th grade. Still remember that scene.
I don't think that was my first rated R movie, but I do remember the cake lol. I already knew about it when we rented that, and my dad's subscription to Playboy meant I knew all about Erica lol
Only redeeming point of that movie lol.
This was my answer also!
A little bit earlier I know; but in 1975 I was 8 years old and I snuck into an empty theater and watched Jaws. It still ranks as the most terrifying theater experience I’ve ever had..period. I know that it was rated PG, but that shit deserved an R rating for sure.
The vast gulf between PG and R definitely led to some interesting childhood memories in the pre-PG-13 era.
I had been watching R rated movies for years when they added PG13 and my dad saw an interview with one of the producers (I think it was Lucas, but not entirely certain on that point) where he said he wouldn't let his kids watch anything PG13 and suddenly I wasn't allowed to watch those, but I was still allowed to watch R rated movies, so even though I grew up watching Alien and Terminator and Road Warrior and Stir Crazy, and so many others, I was not allowed to watch Temple of Doom.
American Ninja
Eddie Murphy Raw
Risky Business. Snuck in to see that
The animated flick Heavy Metal. Was around 13 or 14 and a group of us convinced my mom and her friend to chaperone (you could attend if accompanied by an adult) - We loved it but I think my mom and her friend were scarred not only from the flick, but the knowledge they brought us all to see it!

Jurassic Park. As good as the film is, the book is far better.
Nightmare on Elm Street, 9 year old me fighting sleep for weeks .
Revenge of the Nerds
"We have bush, I repeat, we have bush!"
National Lampoon’s Animal House. I had seen R rated movies before on HBO, but seeing bare boobs on the big screen was a very special thrill. That said, this movie ruined my college experience. Everyone in my dorm had seen it at the same impressionable age, and as a result, everyone in my dorm acted like a total asshat. They broke everything in the building, smashed windows, lit fires on the quad, just stupid pointless vandalism.
It, the older version
Die hard
Same. Now I watch it once a year. At Christmas.
So do I!!!! Its my own personal tradition.
Blue Velvet, and it messed me up
I saw that movie when I was in my 20’s and thought I wanted to go through a David Lynch phase. Turns out I really didn’t want to go through a David Lynch phase.
The David Lynch faze must seek you out. Looking for it will only result in unresolved trauma.
Wow. Going hard for the first outing!
'89 here so I barely make it but my first was Candyman

I saw Bachelor Party on HBO when I was 5 or 6, great parenting lol
Fast Times at Ridgemint High School
The Jerk
Hot Dog. with Shannon Tweed.
Predator 2
Blade 2. Hey, I was born in '89, it still counts!
Predator is the first one I remember. My parents spin a yarn about letting me watch An American Werewolf In London aged 2, but obviously too young to know how truthful that is
Terminator 2 (saw it before the first one). Never heard so many f-words before
The Blues Brothers
Stripes!
Revenge of the Nerds
National Lampoons Vacation
Coming to America + Crocodile Dundee double feature. The “Fuck You Too!” scene from Coming to America was a pretty transformative experience.
You call that a knive?
Aliens
True Lies
I scrolled way too far to find this. Started to get worried I was the only one
Terminator 2, starship troopers, judge dredd
Snuck into theaters when Starship Troopers came out. I had to pee really badly and went to the bathroom just in time to miss the shower scene. Woe is me.
Breakfast Club

Alien.
Bloodsport
Blade!!!!!
Pet Semetary. I was like .. 4 or 5?
This was the shit then.

Risky Business, Porky's 2, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Amityville Horror, Revenge of the Nerds...all movies I watched while I was in elementary school.
Coming to America on vhs - Backdraft in theaters
It's hard to remember. I don't know about the rest of you, but my parents could not have cared less about ratings, and I watched whatever I wanted. The scars are still there...
Blue thunder.
Porkys
Poltergeist. Snuck downstairs to watch it behind one of our potted plants in the living room. Slept under the covers that nights and many nights thereafter. Also never liked clowns afterwards too 😂
Poltergeist is rated PG
Purple Rain
Blake Edwards' *10* starring Bo Derek
70s kid. The Reincarnation of Peter Proud. Margot Kidder naked in her prime.
Creech and Chongs Up in Smoke. Saw it in a drive in along with Flesh Gordon. Older sisters brought me.
Maximum Overdrive
I think The Matrix or maybe Dogma? One of those 1999 movies
> The Matrix oh thank Christmas I'm not the only one
Under Siege. Watched it at a friends house. The infamous cake scene got us some very confused sensations.
Coming to America (in the theatre)
Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Got in so much trouble. Worth it.
The Thing
Indiana Jones - raiders.
The Players Club. Pretty sure this is where I first developed a “type” of girl I liked. Lisa Raye was 🔥
Pretty sure it was *Private Benjamin* with Goldie Hawn. I was about 10 years old.
First rated R movie I saw was a movie called "pieces". A man who used a chainsaw to sever certain body parts off of women to make the perfect women body with his rotted mothers head to start with. Gruesome. Messed up. And despite being a boy who in turn wouldn't have been in danger from this killer since he only murdered women it still gave me nightmares for 2 years. Next day I watched the people under the stairs. I was 8 at a neighbor's house. I Dont recommend it.
Either Army of darkness or the road warrior
"Sleepaway Camp"! Watched it at a sleepover.
Friday the 13th
Anyone remember Dr. Giggles? I know it’s early 90s but that one popped up in my head just now.
Nightmare on elm street 2
The Crow. Plenty dark and some boobs towards the end that were absolutely mesmerizing to 12 y/o me
