Good question. In theaters, it would be Deadpool 2, I think – I tend not to go to the movies unless it’s my wife wanting to see the latest superhero or Star Wars flick (which tend to be PG13) Probably, almost certainly, seen something more recently on streaming but I couldn’t tell you what. ---

I stopped seeing movies in the theater over ten years ago, but I watch a lot of streaming movies. I do not, however, even think about the MPAA rating. No idea what I watch is G, PG-13, or R. ---

I had to call up a list, because I don’t notice the ratings much anymore. Turns out it was the new “A Star is Born.” I don’t recall anything in the movie that would justify an R rating, maybe some nakedness. Also seen relatively recently, Deadpool I and II, and Mary Queen of Scots. ETA: I had no idea Rocket Man was R. So, that’s my new answer. ---

In a theater, _Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood_. At home, _My Cousin Vinny_. I’d only seen bits and pieces of it before and finally watched it beginning to end. ---

\*\*Wheelman \*\*on Netflix. An OK movie, but not amazing. I saw The Perfection before that(also on Netflix) and it was more interesting. > [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > Theatre: _Alita: Battle Angle_ > Home: _John Wick_ and _John Wick 2_ a month back or so; I still haven’t seen 3 yet. 🙂 Alita Battle Angel was PG-13. ---

By either release date or when I saw it, my answer would be _Deadpool 2_. More recently, I saw two hours worth of _Bohemian Rhapsody_, but that was the first 40 minutes three times, so that probably doesn’t count (and also didn’t include any content that would warrant an R). ---

I believe it was the new Blade Runner. Was a pretty decent movie. ---

I don’t watch movies all that often, and the last couple I watched definitely weren’t R rated. I’m guessing the last R rated move I watched might have been _The Shape of Water_, which I re-watched on video last Christmas because my parents wanted to watch it. I go to the theater even less often, and most of the time when I do it’s for stuff like Star Wars movies where the special effects make the big screen worthwhile. I think the last R rated film I saw in a theater might have been _Lady Bird_, which I saw at the Tower Theater in Sacramento, mostly for the fun of watching a movie set in Sacramento at a landmark that briefly appeared in the movie. Coincidentally both movies I mentioned were 2017 Oscar nominees. ---

You know, when I decide whether or not to see a movie, the rating never crosses my mind. Looking thru the thread, I saw OUATIH last weekend, so that would be it. Couldn’t have told you the rating before reading the thread. ---
