    There are quite a few PG-13 where women are topless. Boobs don’t automatically get an R rating. Everything else being equal, I believe it has to be topless in a sexual context to elicit an R rating.

      I cannot think of any others… Do you have any examples?

        There used to be a <1 second time limit in which brief nudity didn’t apply.

        There’s honestly no shortage.

        Here are some examples:

        Saturn 3 (1980) had a little bit

        Airplane! (1980) A woman hops into frame and out of frame completely topless for a second around 45 minutes in.

        Ragtime (1981)

          I wouldn’t count those, as I suggested things have shifted. I remember watching a 1980s film that was pg at most and considered a kids show with swearing and people flipping the bird.

          I don’t think their is a single movie after Titanic with a full view topless female that isn’t R.

            The Fifth Element (1997)

            The Cider House Rules (1999)

            Something’s Gotta Give (2003)

            Across the Universe (2007)

            The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)

            Passengers (2016)

            Asteroid City (2023)

            All of these are PG-13 and all feature female topless nudity. Just off the top of my head

            There was a stink when Cameron released Titanic and pushed it through as PG-13, but it got overruled.

            We’ve been getting more and more worried about safety ratings for years, interesting for Minnesota to lead the way back to where most of the rest of the world rests.
