> Without a doubt, The Sting would be PG-13 today, a rating that didn't come into being until 1984 after Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, a movie with some fairly dark scenes, was given a PG rating. Red Dawn was the first movie released with a PG-13 rating. And what a thrill it was for me as a 12 year old to see it with my friend, also 12, with his parents in the movie next door.

Two movies from 1984--"Temple of Doom" and "Gremlins"--were said to have scenes that were not for a PG-rated movie, but weren't quite up to an R rating. And Steven Spielberg wanted children to see both movies.
