What R-rated movie do you think is best viewed before you're 17?

My pick would be Stand By Me. It's obviously a great film, possibly the best screen adaptation of Stephen King material, but I don't know if it would have hit the same if I hadn't been close in age to the kids in the story the first time I saw it. Just something about the ability to directly relate to the characters, even though it was a period piece, made me connect with it more than I probably would have if I saw it today for the first time.
