BBFC is the company which has to make the decisions of the rating of films, the decision is based on violence, sexual intercourse, use of drugs and alcohol, nudity and language.
A U has to be suitable for primary school children to view, meaning no use of bad language, drugs, no dangerous behaviour. Everything has to be mild, such as nudity and violence. Sexual behaviour can only be basic, only kissing and approriate references e.g. making love.Parental Guidence
A PG is simular to a U, the only difference is, is that parents may want to consider not allowing their children to view the film as it may upset them, especially younger children. Everytthing else is the same apart from the reference to drugs may be used but only in an anti-drug manner. 12 and 12A
12 and 12A have the same criteria. The difference is, is a 12A means, under 12's may go into the film accompanied by an adult, but the bbfc have recommended it is not suitable for children under 13, however it is the parents/adults judgement. Language, sexual behaviour ect, maybe used but only in a mild way. 15
No one under the age of 15 may view in the cinema, buy or rent.
Most criteria must be mild, or not influence the audience such as suicide. Violence is allowed to be shown a lot more in a 15, and stronger language can be used.18
Only suitable for adults.
Only people of the age of 18 can view at the cinema, by or rent.
R18
R18 is a special and legally restricted classification primarily for explicit works of consenting sex or strong fetish material involving adults.
