18A - "Suitable for viewing by persons 18 years of age or older. Persons under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. May contain explicit violence, frequent coarse language, sexual activity and/or horror."

This category is designed to include films that are appropriate for audiences who have reached adulthood, but which may be considered by some adults to be appropriate for viewing by the minors in their care in the company of an adult.

Many comedies that include detailed or crude sexual material or drug references appear in this category, such as Bruno (2009) and The Hangover (2009).

Most horror movies that include gory violence and nudity are placed in this category, such as Friday The 13th (2009), Saw VI (2009), and My Bloody Valentine (2009).

Many adult dramas, with elements ranging from sexual themes to disturbing violence, also appear in this category. Consider Hunger (2009) and Notorious (2009).
