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 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.[1] [2] 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.
There have been 154 titles that have at some point been rated NC-17.
