Certificate of films.

The UK's film certificates are decided by the BBFC (British board of film classification) and has been since 1912. The BBFC rates released films, and rated videos and video games that fit the criteria of the video recordings act 1984, which was discovered in August 2009 to be something that can't be forced until the act was re-enacted by the video recordings act 2010.
~ Here are the age certificates that you'll find on films, they will let you know what age the movie is suited for ranging from U (suitable for anyone) and R18 (the most restrictive of the cinemas)
~ Toy story is an example of a U film, suitable for ages four and over it's set within a positive framework and reassures.
~ Harry potter is an example of a PG film, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children.







~ Avatar is an example of a 12A, mature themes are acceptable. But their treatment must be suitable for young teenagers.

~ The inbetweeners movie is an example of a 15, no theme is prohibited provided the treatment is appropriate for 15 year olds. However after seeing this film in the cinema I was surprised this wasn't a 18 considering the language and sex scenes.





~ Ju-On: The Grudge is an example of an 18 horror film, there are no levels on theme, language, nudity or horror.
