'80s HBO movie intro

[@fromthehaven94]

Sometime after 1986-87, movies from Orion Pictures became exclusives on the Showtime network (HBO's competition). Since my parents could only afford to pay for HBO, movies like Robocop or Silence of the Lambs were video rentals.

Except for Grace Unplugged which aired on Disney Channel (HBO’s other biggest rival)

is it just me but when the rating comes it sounded creepy (it did read it outloud at one time) sure did to me when I was growing up.

This preceded 'Return of the Living Dead'.

I was gonna say, what movie was this? I was thinking it might be Robocop.

[@loganmaxwell1429]

It could be either "Johnny Be Good" or "The Terminator".

R rated movies should be treated like X rated movies...absolutely no people under 18 viewers allowed. Movies should be rated G ,X or R nothing in between.kids are going to pick this up in their knowledge sooner or later.XandR are sex and violence.extreme.
