Giggster looked at every movie on IMDb with a PG-13 rating and more than 10,000 votes and ranked the top 30 according to IMDb user rating, with ties broken by votes.
Have you ever wondered why some relatively crude or violent movies from the 1970s and early ’80s are rated PG when they would definitely be rated PG-13 today? The answer is actually pretty simple: PG-13 didn’t exist yet.
Movie ratings have changed drastically since the Motion Picture Association of America first implemented them in 1968. After playing around with some vague interpretations, the organization settled on four in 1972 that are still in use today: G , PG , R , and X . The MPAA restructured its rating system in 1984 after parents complained of violence and gore in movies like “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and “Gremlins.” It was actually Steven Spielberg himself who suggested the PG-13 label as a stepping stone between PG and R ratings, and the first film to adorn the rating was 1985’s “Red Dawn.”
Since then, thousands of movies have been given the PG-13 rating, and many that originally came out before its existence have been retroactively fit with the label upon their home video releases. What’s more, the rating has become something of a sweet spot for film studios in terms of releasing films with the greatest chance of box office success.
