We had to pop to the shops to do a little bit of shopping last night, birthday presents for our nephews. But once that was done, we actually had a rare night in.
We decided to watch the film John ordered from Lovefilm, we've had it since 1 September and not got round to watching it yet. I had thought it wouldn't be my cup of tea but was very wrong. It was called 'Flawless', starring Demi Moore and Michael Caine, and it was deemed to be a 15 certificate. I'm a bit wary of 15's and that's possibly why it took so long to get round to watching it. But, it amazes me how they categorise and classify these films nowadays. It had a good story line about the theft of diamonds from the London Diamond Exchange with Michael Caine playing a very unassuming elderly janitor. It had 2 minor swear words in, no violence, no drug taking, no sex, no rudeness etc, all very good and clean entertainment, and as innocent as theft stories can be! It really doesn't make sense to me, some of the 15's I've seen have put me off watching 15's because they can be so full of dodgy stuff. So, how do they work these things out, how do they classify film ratings these days?

And on the same site I just found these 'clasification guidelines' :

I saw that! Thoroughly enjoyed it
No idea how they classify stuff, but I don't remember seeing anything you wouldn't want younger teens to see 

That's a very interesting question , Tracy .
I just looked at the bbfc website , and here is there faq's section :
