Question
At the end of most major American films, there's a number. I believe current films are running in the high 40000s. From a little bit of research, when the MPAA rates a film, they give it a unique number.
I've found an old list that seems to go up to 2010, but I'm wondering if there's an official list online somewhere that shows every number. I've been wondering for a while now if there'd be any friendly rivalry to grab number 50,000, which must be out soon ;)
Answer
Here is the list of cert. numbers assigned to films, both released and unreleased, but it's not really completed yet. For the rated films, it's nearly complete, so the list is updated once a week, particularly on the day when the weekly rating bulletin comes out. We have films that are not rated (modern era) and classics (released during the Production Code era from 1934 to 1968) with assigned numbers left. There are at least 23,000 NR (Not Rated) films out there, classics and NR films combined. Some examples of films not rated are "The Postcard Killings", "It's a Free World" and "The Water Babies". Because there are no inclusive and reliable sources related to cert. numbers available online, especially for those films that are not rated, purchasing those films is the only way to complete the list, sad to say.
