I think some movies, especially comedies and horror movies, go over the top with gore, cursing, and gross-out humor. What movies would you have enjoyed more if they were more scaled back in that regard?

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Starship Troopers
Superbad (or any other movie with Seth Rogan and/or Jonah Hill
We're The Millers
Zombieland

I'm the other way with this. There's more PG-13 movies that needed to be R.

I love starship troopers but the nudity really is over the top and completely unnecessary .

Maybe that's why I like it so much

but to play along w/the OP, I'll just repost what I put in the other thread

The only time I can recall a movie going from PG13 to R where it lost something was in Saving Silverman b/c they changed a Jack Black line from "Die replacement friend!" to "frick you replacement friend!"

I liked the way Black said die in exaggerated fashion much more than the angry frick you.

I think the deal was one version was released as the fullscreen DVD while the other was a widescreen. Pretty sure the wide was the R. The only other change was having the girls in the ping pong scene be topless instead of in their bras which didn't really make the scene any better or worse IMO.

I think Good Will Hunting could have been PG 13.

maybe for the quick shot of Dina Meyer's breasts in her brief sex scene w/Casper Van Dien that could be said but I would argue that shower scene was important in that it showed society had long moved past sex as a significant dividing line. Basically it showed that everyone was on equal footing going in (as long as you joined the military) b/c that society was purely results based.

It was integral to the plot IMO.

Starship Troopers without an R rating would have sucked, and no one would have cared about it.

It was important. You don't just have an action movie like that without tits. I mean, they're tits. How can you not see how important they are?
