Top 10 Movies That Were Rated PG Before PG-13

These were all rated prior to the PG-13 rating when the R rating was a kiss of death for a comedy.

1. Smokey and the Bandit
2. Spaceballs
3. Cannonball Run
4. National Lampoon's Vacation
5. Fletch
6. Six Pack - why does this movie keep popping up in my lists? Trivia: the scene at the end of this movie when they finally bought a house (sorry to spoil the ending, but you've had 26 years to see it) was filmed about a half mile from where I grew up on Villa Rica Road (this only means something to Scott). I distinctly remember watching the film and pre-production crew - new landscaping, trees, everything - just for a 2 minute scene at the end.
While I'm on the subject, in the Georgia Satellites video Keep Your Hands To Yourself, the truck they are riding down the road in is a West Cobb Building Supply truck - West Cobb Building Supply was, for many years located at the intersection of Villa Rica Road and Dallas Highway, about 100 yards from my driveway.
