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):

    “Midnight Cowboy” is still X-rated, even though there’s nothing in it that you don’t see in a show like ‘Game Of Thrones.’

    What a difference a few decades make.

      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.

          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.

                The movie was rated Xin the UK and Kubrick himself had it pulled after he found out that young hooligans were imitating the violence.
