NC-17 (No One Seventeen and Under Admitted)[1] is the highest rating in Motion Picture Association film rating system assigned to films with content the MPA finds to be only suitable for ages 18 and older. The rating does not designate films as pornographic or obscene, but the material is higher in impact than the Restricted (R) rating can accommodate.
Most films that receive the rating are edited and resubmitted to obtain an R rating, as it permits greater distribution and potential for commercial performance. Additionally, an R-rating would allow children under 17 to attend the feature with a parent or guardian. In some cases, studios will simply appeal for an R rating, or will "surrender" the rating (return the rating, leaving the film unrated). Otherwise, studios may choose to keep the rating for a theatrical or home video release, occasionally to commercial success.
The list provides the reason the rating was given for some films. CARA began publishing the reasons for R ratings in 1990, and for all film ratings several years later.
