Movie ratings. The movie ratings system is a voluntary system operated jointly by the Motion Picture Association

Question:

Movie ratings. The movie ratings system is a voluntary system operated jointly by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO). The ratings themselves are given by a board of parents who are members of the Classification and Ratings Administration (CARA). The board was created in response to outcries from parents in the 1960s for some kind of regulation of film content, and the first ratings were introduced in 1968. Here is information on the ratings of 340 movies that came out in 2016, also classified by their genre. (Data extracted from Movies 06-15)
