Examples of The British Board of Film Classifications

 A good example of a 'U' rated movie is Shrek 2, this movie is rated 'U' because it is perfect for children of all ages, it is funny, easy to follow, imaginative, and it is also fun for all the family to watch. Shrek 2 contains very mild language, and mild comic fight scenes, however, as it is animated it is less scary for young children. Here is a movie trailer for Shrek 2:




 A good example for a 'PG' rated movie is School of Rock, this movie is rated 'PG' because it contains mild language and sex references. This movie is okay for general viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. It is recommended that children under the age of 12 watch this with parental supervision. Here is a movie trailer for The School of Rock:




 A good example of a '12/12A' rated movie is The Titanic, this is a classic movie that is very popular and well known.

A good example of a movie that is suitable for persons of 18 years and over is the thriller movie Taken, this is only suitable for adults because it contains strong violence and extended scene of torture. Here is a movie trailer of Taken:





*I got this information from going to blockbusters movie rental, and watching those 5 movies, and then making notes on why they would have this particular rating. I got the movie trailers from youtube.
