Movies that in your opinion need a rating change?
Alright for me
Both of the Matrix movies to PG-13
Requiem for a Dream from the unrated/NC-17 rating it has now to an R uncut
Dark City to PG-13

Way of the Dragon aka Return of the Dragon deserves a PG rating. It's totally harmless compared to Lee's other movies.
Born Losers has a quite a bit of rough stuff for a PG.
Legend of the Lone Ranger has the highest body count I've ever seen for a PG-rated film.

Legend of Drunken Master: Pg-13
I agree that Matrix Reloaded deserved its R. Some of the scenes they might have to cut for pg-13 (Rave scene, odd resturant scene) might actually improve the movie.

I think the problem is that the R rating needs to be split into two...In britain they have ratings of 12, 15, and 18, but here we just have pg-13 and R. Movies like Matrix reloaded are 15, and something like Gangs of New York is 18. I think that sort of division makes a lot more sense.

I agree with this, though it does show them smoking pot, if I remember correctly. Is that an immediate R?

Actually now looking back there are plenty of F-words in this, so that's the reason for the R-rating. I just remembered Bender's "F--- YOU!" as the monitor walks out of the room, but looking at the script off the web shows a whole bunch of them.

I remember watching Circle of Friends and wondering how it was rated PG-13 while other films with the same amount of sexuality say for instance, The Joy Luck Club got an R.
There was blantant humping in both, Circle of Friends should've gotten an R as well.

Has anyone else heard that the sex scene in Rainman was put into the film so they could get an R rating. It would makes sense because i really don't remember much else in that film that deserved an R rating.

From Roger Ebert's review of the same film:
"The movie itself is likely to send younger children fleeing from the theater, or hiding in their parents' arms. Those who do sit all the way through it are likely to toss and turn with nightmares inspired by its frightening images. Whoever thought this was a family movie (the MPAA rates it PG - not even PG-13!) must think kids are made of stern stuff."

And Cruise yelled out a couple of "F" bombs throughout the film.

And the absolute most ridiculous R rating i've seen in recent years was for Bowling for Columbine. That should be PG for cryin out loud......it is teens who SHOULD be watching that film.....you don't have to like Moore to realize what a snow job that rating is.
