Accrington Web - View Single Post - Age-rated, over-rated???

Following very loosly from Pixie's thread about age-rated games - does anyone remember the thrill of watching a 15 or 18 movie when you were underage? (Hopefully not as young as 9 though!)

It really did make you more interested in watching a film if you thought you weren't really supposed to - when I was 14 I would probably never choose to watch anything less than a 15 rated film (even if it was c**p).

But now that I'm old enough to watch what I like I tend to choose films for the storyline rather than looking at the rating. In fact, nowadays I couldn't watch a horror film on my own (unless the TV was muted!) and I'd much prefer to watch a happy-go-lucky PG aimed at 12 year olds!
