Wow, I realized I wasn't completely sure about this myself, so I went to the Motion Picture Association of America page (www.mpaa.com) and it led me to Filmratings.com.
The banner for Rated R movies (which IS different than NC-17) says on the bottom "Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult".
Based on this I would say you have to be 17 to legally see a rated-R movie. My real-world experience as a horror movie fan is that there are often kids WAY under 17, so obviously the theaters do not enforce this.

According to the MPAA, a person must be 17 or older to see an R rated film without a parent in the United States. Other countries have different laws, but this is the law in the United States.

Ok, I'm the movie geek here so stop trying to steal my thunder and go back to your own categories. To watch an R Rated film alone you must be 17 or older and if you're younger than 17 than a person over the age of 21 must buy the ticket for the underage person.

Evidently age doesn't matter becasue last weekend there was a child about 2 years old or younger and one about 3 or so in the movie "28 Weeks Later" with their parents. That movie was very violent and bloody. I can't imagine letting ANY child of that age watch that movie. It would scar them for life. What are parents thinking.
