First rated R movie I can remember watching was Robo Cop; I think I was like.. 6? My dad was surprisingly cool for an 80s dad.

Matrix is the first movie where I got carded ( I was 16 at the time, I think) and the manager went "Ah he's old enough" and let me in with a couple of other like-aged friends. 90's America may have been best America.

i was in my 20s during the 90s, but 80s america was pretty awesome too to be a kid. back then you could buy beer at 15 because if you had a mustache and "looked old enough" you got whatever as long as you had the green. we could smoke in school, nobody said a damn thing when the students were chilling out with the teachers in the smoking lounge, yeah remember a smoking lounge in your 90s HS? parties, we had parties all the time, we had them in the woods or the park. cops sometimes bothered you and told you to go home, but they didnt take our beer or run is in. nobody worried about catching anything by having wild sex. no drugs cept a few kids who had a joint. i could get nudie magazines at 13. it was a wild time and its probably why my generation grew up to be such assholes with their kids.

Ha, I've got a good one.

I had to check, I saw Mad Max 2 ( the Road warrior ) at the cinema, I would have been 11 back then. I can't remember who I went with, or how I got in, but yeah I saw it.

I wasn't with my older brother as I can remember he had seen the film before I had, he said that the film was non-stop, if there's one opportunity for a toilet trip it's when the helicopter guy is trying to get the blond girl to leave with him.

Alien for me, I was 5. It may or may not have affected my sleeping habits for a few weeks.

My babysitter had us watch some horror movie with people getting killed with butcher knives and some kid getting locked in a fridge. I was 6 or 7. Vet your babysitters!

Robocop 2 was first R i saw in theater when I was 6 or 7. My dad was awesome.

I watched tons of R shit on HBO, Cinimax and showtime before that. 4th born kid and all, 9, 7 and 4 years younger than my siblings. So needless to say 5 year old me was watching the same shit as the 14 year old.

Fuck yeah it was. Of course I'm biased because that late-90's time frame coincides with me leaving home and finally getting out of my shell, but whatever.

Of course you know in 20 years today's Gen Z little shits are going to look at today's stuff and think of it the good ol' days too.

Mine too.

My Dad watched it with me and my sister one night at home. He tried to cover my eyes at only one part: at the end when Ripley has saved Newt, torched the eggs, and is now getting into the elevator to meet Bishop up top. As the Queen is chasing them into the elevator, my Dad reached and covered both our eyes but I could still see through his fingers. It never made sense to me, why that part? I think I was 7 or 8? The entire movie served as quality nightmare fuel for a solid year after that.

Nope. It's when they find the first cocooned 'impregnated' woman in the reactor room. "Kill me! Kill me!"

Absolutely horrifying.

Man I am trying to figure out which was the first R rated movie I saw in theater, but it's so tough. I am 100% sure I saw Alien 3 (1992) in theater. 100% sure I have not seen Aliens (1986) in theater. I am almost certain I saw Total Recall (1990) in theater, but again I am also pretty sure one of the first films I saw by myself in a theater was Lethal Weapon 3 (1992) so something is not quite right... or was it Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)? Man.... memories are all fucked up.

In the same line of thoughts, I am convinced the first movie I ever saw in theater was The Secret of NIMH (1982), but I also know for sure I saw with my school The Fox & The Hound (1981) in theater..... but that makes very little sense: I would have been in kindergarten in 81... so maybe the movie took a long while to reach Europe, or I saw a special screening or re-release.... who knows.... memories are all fucked up.
