-This is a '''list of films rated NC-17''' by the [[Motion Picture Association of America]]'s [[Classification and Rating Administration]] (CARA). It includes [[X-rated]] [[films]] reassigned an [[NC-17]] rating, and titles originally rated NC-17, but edited for a lower rating. Titles with surrendered ratings are usually released unrated to avoid the [[social stigma|stigma]] of NC-17.+'''NC-17''' is a rating in the [[film rating system]] of the United States used for a film suitable for [[adult]]s, ages 17 and up.
-Changes in ratings are due to resubmission or appeal by a film's producers. Films receiving an NC-17 are often cut and resubmitted in hopes of earning an R rating, which allows distribution to more outlets than an [[NC-17]] rating.+In the early years of the [[Motion Picture Association of America]], the film rating system of the United States, "X"-rated films such as ''[[Midnight Cowboy]]'' (1969), ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]'' (1971), the animated ''[[Fritz the Cat (film)|Fritz the Cat]]'' (1972), and ''[[Last Tango in Paris]]'' (1973) were understood to be unsuitable for children, but non-pornographic and intended for the general public. However, pornographic films often self-applied the non-trademarked "X" rating, and it soon became synonymous with [[pornography]] in American culture. In late [[1989 in film|1989]] and early [[1990 in film|1990]], two critically acclaimed [[art films]] featuring strong adult content, ''[[Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer]]'' and ''[[The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover]]'', were released. Neither was approved for an MPAA rating, thus limiting their commercial distribution, and prompting criticism of the rating system's lack of a designation for such films. In September 1990, the MPAA introduced the rating "NC-17" ("No Children Under 17 Admitted"). ''[[Henry & June]]'' – previously to be assigned an "X" rating – was the first film to receive the "NC-17" rating instead. Although films with an "NC17" rating had more mainstream distribution opportunities than "X"-rated films, many cinemas refused to screen them, most entertainment media did not accept advertising for them, and many large video outlets refused to stock them.
-Occasionally an R-rated film will have footage added to earn an NC-17 rating and its accompanying notoriety. In at least one case, an R-rated film was re-rated NC-17 even though no edits were made: The 1969 [[Sam Peckinpah]] film ''[[The Wild Bunch]]'', originally rated R, was resubmitted by [[Warner Bros.]] in 1993 before an expected rerelease; to their surprise, it was rated NC-17, delaying the rerelease while the decision was appealed.+== List ==
-Some titles include the reasons the rating was given. In 1990, CARA began including a brief statement of the reason for a specific film's R rating; several years later it began giving reasons for all film ratings.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{{PAGENAMEE}}] [Apr 2007]+This is a '''list of films rated NC-17''' by the [[Motion Picture Association of America]]'s.

NC-17 is a rating in the film rating system of the United States used for a film suitable for adults, ages 17 and up.

In the early years of the Motion Picture Association of America, the film rating system of the United States, "X"-rated films such as Midnight Cowboy (1969), A Clockwork Orange (1971), the animated Fritz the Cat (1972), and Last Tango in Paris (1973) were understood to be unsuitable for children, but non-pornographic and intended for the general public. However, pornographic films often self-applied the non-trademarked "X" rating, and it soon became synonymous with pornography in American culture. In late 1989 and early 1990, two critically acclaimed art films featuring strong adult content, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, were released. Neither was approved for an MPAA rating, thus limiting their commercial distribution, and prompting criticism of the rating system's lack of a designation for such films. In September 1990, the MPAA introduced the rating "NC-17" ("No Children Under 17 Admitted"). Henry & June – previously to be assigned an "X" rating – was the first film to receive the "NC-17" rating instead. Although films with an "NC17" rating had more mainstream distribution opportunities than "X"-rated films, many cinemas refused to screen them, most entertainment media did not accept advertising for them, and many large video outlets refused to stock them.

List

This is a list of films rated NC-17 by the Motion Picture Association of America's. It includes X-rated films reassigned an NC-17 rating, and titles originally rated NC-17, but edited for a lower rating. Titles with surrendered ratings are usually released unrated to avoid the stigma of NC-17.

Changes in ratings are due to resubmission or appeal by a film's producers. Films receiving an NC-17 are often cut and resubmitted in hopes of earning an R rating, which allows distribution to more outlets than an NC-17 rating.

Occasionally an R-rated film will have footage added to earn an NC-17 rating and its accompanying notoriety. In at least one case, an R-rated film was re-rated NC-17 even though no edits were made: The 1969 Sam Peckinpah film The Wild Bunch, originally rated R, was resubmitted by Warner Bros. in 1993 before an expected rerelease; to their surprise, it was rated NC-17, delaying the rerelease while the decision was appealed.

Some titles include the reasons the rating was given. In 1990, CARA began including a brief statement of the reason for a specific film's R rating; several years later it began giving reasons for all film ratings.
