Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated motion pictures unaccompanied by a parent or adult guardian.
An NC-17 rated motion picture is one that, in the view of the Rating Board, most parents would consider patently too adult for their children 17 and under.
NC-17 does not mean “obscene” or “pornographic” in the common or legal meaning of those words, and should not be construed as a negative judgment in any sense.

It claims not to censor, but it often hands out specific notes on which scenes need to be cut to drop from an NC-17 to an R, or from an R to PG-13, and it's notoriously harsher toward sex than violence.

The rating was created in 1990 as a replacement for the "X" rating.
It was an attempt to have a rating that would prevent anyone age 17 or younger from attending a film, but not have the stigma of hard-core pornography.
But only 18 films have been released with the rating in its first 14 years, and most of those had very limited releases and domestic box office well under $1 million.

 NC-17 - No Longer A Stigma?
Traditionally, that would mean going back to the editing room and emerging with an R-rated film.
Besides being a cultural stigma, NC-17 -- no one under 17 admitted -- has always been a handicap in terms of advertising and vid sales.
That might explain why, until Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Dreamers" bowed in February, no studio had released an NC-17 film in the last six years.

 Thoughts on Soft-Core Porn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
One might ask what difference there really is between NC-17 and X. There does seem to be a distinction of some sort, although, like many of our culture's distinctions having to do with sex, it gets rather hazy and inconsistent when you examine it closely.
There's the obvious legal difference, of course; NC- 17 is copyrighted by the Motion Picture Association of America, whereas the X rating is not.
In practical terms, this means an NC-17 movie is one that the studio bothered to submit to the MPAA and get rated.

Hollywood's film ratings board has given an R rating to the marionette action spoof Team America: World Police, the Reuters news service reported.
The Motion Picture Association of America revised the rating from an NC-17, which would prohibit admission for anyone 17 or younger, after producers made several changes, including the editing of graphic sex scenes between the film's puppet characters, the news service said.
Producer Scott Rudin told the Los Angeles Times that at least nine variations of the scene in question were submitted, each one progressively less explicit, before the MPAA ultimately relented and approved an R rating.

 With NC-17, the picture gets fuzzy - The Boston Globe
On its face, NC-17 seems like the simplest of movie ratings: No one under 17 comes into the theater, period.
But the way this rating has been used -- or not used -- since it replaced the porn-tainted X in 1990 shows just how complicated the seemingly simple business of giving parents information about a movie's content can be.
The controversial movie rating reappears, but what does it mean?
