Why don't movie ratings just have letters indicating objectionable material? (feddit.org)

LVNSD would be much more informative than "Rated R," or, "PG-13."

  • L - Language
  • V - Violence
  • N - Nudity
  • S - Sex
  • D - Drug use
  • B - Blasphemy

Let's include recommended age at the end, so theaters can know whom to exclude (legal reasons):

Family Guy LVNDB-18

Dexter's Lab V-8

Looney Toons VD-8

Telly Tubbies 0

Woah, TIL:

Midnight Cowboy is the only X-rated film (equivalent of the current NC-17 rating) to win Best Picture and the only X-rated film ever to win an Academy Award.

    In my opinion it's a great movie.

    People still quote Hoffman's line "I'm walkin' here!"

    yeah, that line is infamous, i even hear kids saying it. I guess it's good it got the recognition it deserved despite the rating.

    Different times.

    My opinion is that getting the X rating helped the movie. It came out after The Summer Of Love and just before Deep Throat and Behind The Green Door rolled into local theaters.

    I can't think of any other mainstream movie of the time that got an X rating, so it really stood out.

    Surely A Clockwork Orange released two years later is also rated X? But looks like nope, that was rated R which is pretty wild all things considered.
