10 PG-13 Movies That Should Have Been Rated R

3) World War Z (2013) 

Brad Pitt’s back once again in yet another film rated inappropriately for children. It’s quite ironic considering how many kids he’s adopted with Jolie, but I digress.

World War Z doesn’t feature any nudity or violence, but it’s easily one of the most violent movies to ever attain the holy PG-13 rating, where a horde of cannibalistic zombies devastate the world after an infection spreads.

World War Z was an extremely expensive film to make, and after the production suffered numerous setbacks, it makes sense that the studio were keen to recoup their money by making the movie available to as wide an audience as possible. As a result, we finally have a zombie movie that the entire family can enjoy.

Suck on that, Romero!

2) Jaws (1975)

Seriously, who wasn’t traumatized by Jaws? No matter how old you are when you first see it, Spielberg’s early masterpiece still holds the power to put audiences off the ocean for life, so it comes as a surprise to many when they learn that Jaws is actually rated PG. Kids get eaten, severed legs pop up all over the place and a shark even gets blown up! That just screams Sunday family movie time, right?

If you were one of the abused children who were subjected to Jaws as a kid, then all I can do is suggest you do is bide your time, wait until your parents are old enough to shock and then surprise them with a double screening of Salo and A Serbian Film. They’ll never see it coming.
