Movie Ratings Information

Welcome to the website about movie ratings around the world!

Since the dawn of mass media, many countries have attempted to regulate, control, or even block certain messages or content from being exhibited to their citizens at large.

Today, most democratic states are primarily interested in "classifying" (as opposed to "censoring") media products--especially movies--into age appropriate categories. The result has been the formation of various movie rating boards and offices which typically advise, and often enforce their decisions through legislation, as to what ages may see a particular title.
