Revisiting Childhood Favorites

The MPAA established the rating system to determine whether a movie is acceptable for specific age groups. PG-13 is considered somewhat family-friendly and appropriate for children over the age of 12, while R is restricted to anyone under the age of 17. For the most part, the system works, but throughout the 1990s, several movies were marketed to kids but were <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/grisly-moments-in-90s-action-movies/jacob-shelton">filled with a ton of violence</a>.The MPAA is strict about its ratings, and directors often must cut content to achieve a desired rating. Still, occasionally, something remains that leaves parents scratching their heads in wonder as they take their screaming child from the theater to their first counseling session of many. Most of the time, this is due to violent imagery, and these '90s movies have it and other <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/still-scary-childhood-movies/skyler-hanrath">frightening imagery</a> in spades.Take a look at the supposed kid-friendly ‘90s action movies that went as hard as R-rated movies. If you find one that left you with the impression that you probably shouldn’t have brought your underage children to it, be sure to give it an upvote to see which film rises to the top!

Kid-Friendly ’90s Action Movies That Went As Hard As R-Rated Movies

Jonathan H. Kantor

Historical movies offer viewers a chance to see important events and time periods come to life. With the right script and a strong vision from the director, these films provide insight into the things that have shaped our world. Of course, excellent performances are also a vital part of the equation. You need to have actors who can make the stories feel vivid and urgent. Over the decades, many a star has scored an Oscar for doing just that in a historical movie, whether based on a true story or just a solid piece of fiction.For every case where that's happened, though, there's another where an actor gave an underrated performance. Sometimes it was because they had a supporting role, or one that wasn't as showy as a co-star's. Other times, the movies themselves didn't light up the box office to the degree that they deserved to. Whatever the case, the following actors all brought something incredibly special to the historical movies in which they appeared. Their efforts deserve to be discovered and appreciated.&nbsp;

Wars on Screen

War Movies

War movies are both popular and common, but they tend to deal with the same small batch of wars. World War I, World War II, the Civil War, Vietnam, and the Iran/Afghanistan conflicts have all been the basis for numerous films. Many of those films have been great, a few even earning recognition as all-time classics. These wars are frequent cinematic fare because people are familiar with them, so there's a natural interest level.Of course, there have been many, many other wars over the centuries. Although historically important, the average person doesn't know as much about them as, say, WWII. The following movies are all about wars you've likely heard of, yet probably couldn't explain in much detail if asked. And that's okay - history is vast! How integral the war is to the stories can vary, as does the degree of historical accuracy. Nevertheless, each of them puts a lesser-known war into the spotlight for a few hours.

Some films delight in their globe-hopping adventures, but you don&#39;t need a bunch of fancy locales to tell a great story. In the spirit of this, let&#39;s take a look at some of the best single-location movies in the history of cinema. For decades, filmmakers have used a single location to tell some fascinating stories that have delighted generations of moviegoers. Alfred Hitchcock did so numerous times, in films like&nbsp;Rear Window&nbsp;and&nbsp;Lifeboat.

Current Hollywood superstars Tom Hardy and Ryan Reynolds put on one-man, one-location performances in&nbsp;Locke&nbsp;and&nbsp;Buried, respectively.&nbsp;Others, like&nbsp;Oxygen,&nbsp;Cube, and&nbsp;The Platform,&nbsp;use a solitary location to tell outrageous sci-fi stories. You don&#39;t need a second-unit director when everything happens in one place!
