Mainly film producers are trying to make a movie so that he was given a rental rating of “at least bring the babies with you”, so that sex, violence and blood splashing waves, do not interfere with a wide audience, sell tickets and raise box office receipts. But some creators risked and took a chance, because “if you do it normally, it will be okay”!
Here are the 10 most box office films that received an R rating from the American Film Association, meaning that children under the age of seventeen are only allowed with their parents.
- Godfather (1972) 9.2
The events of the film “The Godfather” begin in the summer of 1945, when Vito Corleone organizes a festive reception in honor of the marriage of his own daughter Connie and her husband Carlo Rizzi. Don Vito, the leader of the influential Corleone criminal clan and personal lawyer to the family, Tom Hagen, listens to requests from close family friends, partners and accept congratulations. At the same time, Vito’s youngest son tells his girlfriend various stories about what his father and people close to him are doing, assuring her that this is only the family’s business, but not his own.
The Corleone family has managed to monopolize the ties that can provide full political and judicial cover to the influential Sicilian clans over many years of activity. Every year, Don Vito becomes richer and more powerful than not everyone else. Some criminal clans, without wishing such a development, are beginning to develop a cold-blooded and thoughtful plan to attack the Corleone family. They are sure that they will be able to suppress Vito, but do not know the consequences.
- Godfather 2 (1974) 9
Francis Ford Coppola managed to do almost impossible – he shot a sequel to the cult criminal drama ‘The Godfather’, and it turned out to be no worse, if not better, than the original first part. “The “Godfather 2” won six Oscar awards and was included in the first hundred of the best films according to “Film Search”. If you have already seen the first part of the saga, you just need to see the second part as well. At the heart of the story is the young generation of the Corleone gangster clan. These people are noticeably different from Vito Corleone and his son, who created a patriarchal, rigid hierarchical system of mafia clan according to old Sicilian rules. These new people will do anything to achieve their goals, they will stop at nothing. But it is thanks to their sometimes cruel, sometimes dishonest, even by gangster standards, actions that the reorganized Corleone clan, which has become a flexible and strong corporation, begins to successfully integrate into America’s big business. But is it possible to quietly compromise on the traditions that have been formed for decades and not to lose control?
- Pulp Fiction (1994) 8.9
Two gangsters, Vincent Vega and Jules Winfield, spend time in philosophical conversations during the break between the showdown and “problem solving” with the debtors of their criminal boss Marcellas Wallace. At the same time, three stories unfold.
In the first of them, Vincent looks after Marcellus’ wife Mia and saves her from drug overdose. The second tells the story of Butch Coolidge, a boxer hired by Wallace to take the fight, but who deceived him. The third story unites the first two – in a cafe a couple of young unsuccessful robbers – Pumpkin and Hani Bani make an attempted robbery, but Jules stops them.
- Fight Club (1999) 8.8
A cult, Oscar-nominated film by David Fincher with Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter. The screen adaptation of the novel of the same name by Chuck Palanic has significantly increased the popularity of the writer in the world. In 1999, the picture made a lot of noise, up to accusations of inciting aggression. Quentin Tarantino willingly enrolled among its fans, and Donatella Versace released a special men’s collection with allusions to the film. The story is told on behalf of a man without a name. It is a typical “white collar”, suffering from insomnia, doubts about the choice of dishes (“Which service would better express me as a person?”) and own worthlessness. One day on the plane, he meets Tyler, who lives on a very different set: “Everything you have has you, after all, has you. Together they organize a closed fight club, which gradually grows into something more.
- Matrix (1999) 8.7
An incredible fantastic action movie, in which the Wachowski family finally told us how we really live. So, if you’re able to choose the red pill, you can find out if you look at “Matrix” online. This picture is not as simple as it seems. There are eternal biblical allusions, and the ideas of William Gibson and Arthur Clark, and the Indian epic, coolly mixed with Japanese manga comics and John Woo action movies. Of course, the mixture turned out to be explosive and interesting. The first part of the famous trilogy influenced all modern cinema, literature and video games. And on the Western citizen’s worldview, too. One day, a simple hacker Neo suddenly finds out that the whole world around him is an illusion, a matrix that is controlled by machines. All this is necessary for the new masters of life to just pump energy out of humanity. But there is also the Resistance – individuals who live outside the matrix and are fighting for the human race to regain its proud name, and people are no longer just batteries. And Neo is the Chosen One, the one who is able to return freedom to mankind.
- Seven (1995) 8.6
The powerful psychological thriller of David Fincher awaits all lovers of complex detective puzzles in our online cinema. The expressive and holistic picture “Seven” sparkled not only a twisting plot, but also a magnificent cast, gathering on one set the most cream of Hollywood: Morgan Freeman – a veteran of criminal investigation, Brad Pitt – a young impulsive detective, Gwyneth Paltrow – his beautiful wife and Kevin Spacey – a maniac who thinks he is the instrument of God. We recommend watching online film “Seven”, shocking with its visual range and telling about the blurred facets of good and evil. There is nothing left for Detective Somerset to retire. And he would not take on a new case, apparently, promising to be extremely confusing, and just sit quietly for a week, looking through the papers. However, the experienced detective is just not that person. But even he, with all his instincts and experience, will not immediately guess that, together with a new young partner was involved in a complex multi-move, played by a devout mocker. Interesting fact: the scenarios of the painting had to be slightly changed, then I will say that on the shooting Brad Pitt seriously damaged his hand.
- Gladiator (2000) 8.5
The cult film “Gladiator” from the director Ridley Scott (“Alien”, “Black Hawk”) – winner of five Oscar awards. Russell Crowe (“Mind Games”, “Knockdown”) plays the role of General Maximus Meridian – the best and closest military commander to Emperor Marcus Aurelius.

But this arrangement does not suit the son of the emperor, who betrays his father and occupies his throne, not wanting to part with power. Maximus, on the other hand, finds his family killed. Broken and no longer willing to fight, he turns out to be a slave gladiator. But after a while, he finds the strength to fight. Even being a slave, he will find a way to become the champion of the arena and take revenge on the new emperor.
