[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that Common Sense Media is a GREAT resource, because they not only give a guide for ages, but they tell you what that recommendation is based on (i.e., what are the aspects of the movie that may make it inappropriate for some audiences).  And their guidance is pretty comprehensive, too, and includes things outside of the obvious stuff like sex (including innuendo), drugs, drinking, violence. They also often explain what the actual behavior is (e.g., is the violence guns or martial arts, is it one scene or throughout, is it fantastic or realistic).

Also be aware of movies you watched as a kid. Apparently the rating system is more strict now, and what might have been rated PG 20 years ago is now PG-13, and you may not recall all of the iffy content. For instance, we watched Mrs. Doubtfire and there's a scene where one of the characters makes repeated innuendos to sex toys. It's innuendo, but goes on for so long that my kids realized it was some sort of sexual innuendo, even though they didn't understand what it was.  [/quote]

PG13 didn’t exist until temple of doom I think[/quote]

Nope, Red Dawn was, but PG13 was created out of outrage over TOD[/quote]
