Joseph:
Also, R is 17 and up as apposed to 18 and up, I believe.
JD:
I've never seen an NC-17 movie, nor an ad or commercial. They are pretty rare/nonexistent
Bastardous Bassist:
They are very rare. A number of movies have gotten an NC-17 initially, but that really hurts at the box office, so they usually try to re-edit the movie to get that rating down. "Showgirls" was the first movie I remember with an NC-17 rating. Here is a list of movies that have been rated NC-17 on wikipedia.
KvP:
These days movies have an R cut (or even a PG-13 cut) for theaters and then an "unrated" cut that gets released on DVD. In most cases they're just the R cuts with some negligible deleted scenes added but a few of them would actually be released as NC-17 films.
scarred:
This Film Is Not Yet Rated is a pretty good documentary look at the inner workings of the U.S.'s MPAA rating system (a phantom board that holds itself to no regulations or standards).
