Speaking about films...What do the "Xes" stand for? What is the origin of this way of rating films?Thanks.

Answer 1

When a film is rated "X" it means its sexually eXplicit in nature and should only be viewed by those 18 yrs or older. Most countries don't use the X rating for such movies though. They use either : "R" (Resticted Film)
"A" (Adult Movie)
"18+" (18 yrs or older)
"NC-17" This is what the US replaced an X rating with in 1990. "X" was not trademarked like all the other film ratings (ex. PG) and it became so widely used by the US pornography industry that the MPAA(motion picture association of america) replaced it with the NC-17 rating in 1990.

"The Rating system went into effect on November 1, 1968.The movie rating system is a voluntary system sponsored by the Motion Picture Association of America and the National Association of Theatre Owners to provide parents with advance information on films, enabling parents to make judgments on movies they want or do not want their children and themselves to see"
