The Dark Knight was rated 12A, this was rather controversial as many people believed that this rating was a little to low for a film as such. This is the case due to the violence generated in this film. 12A guidelines allow moderate violence as long as it can be justified by the context. However, many people thought that the dark knight should have been a 15 age rating or even 18.
My movie example is Attack the Block. This was firstly Classified by BBFC as to be a 15un , due to the fact that it is a hybrid genre of comedy, mixed with horror AND science-fiction - a very unusual and bizarre genres put together, and maybe this appeals to teenagers of our generation, who have unconventional views and like a mix of things.
