I remember having to bring a permission slip to be allowed to watch R-rated movies in class. This obviously isn’t a legal requirement, but it was a way to make sure the parents knew about it and were okay with it. And, well, if the parent wasn’t, then the kid got chucked out into study hall.

Well, the voting’s still open, but it looks like Hidden Figures is in the lead by a considerable margin.
