When I look up a film, why doesn't the UK age certification show? All I get is what seems to be the USA film rating. EG: "The Town" (2010) is rated as "15" in the uk but your web site shows "R"
Is there a way for me to get back, the correct age ratings for my country?

I had thought this issue was resolved. I use the Mozilla Firefox browser and when I went to "tools", "options", "content" and then picked English (UK) as the default language the problem seemed to resolve.
So you can imagine my surprise today when I went to look up the age certificate for "The Hunger Games" and it turned out that old problem had returned. The age certificate is listed as PG-13 as opposed to the UK age certificate.
I've double-checked the Firefox setting. It's the right language. I've checked that I'm looking at imdb.co.uk. I am. And finally I've tried deleting all cookies. It didn't make a difference.
What's happened this time?

Could it be because that title has two UK ratings listed (cut and uncut)? What about other titles?
Ah, that's a good point. All the other titles are displaying age ratings properly.
Is that right though? That because there are two possible age ratings the page shows NEITHER of them?

Or perhaps because both ratings have those attributes. I'm not sure.

That seems reasonable, after all, if there are two ratings then they don't know which to display. I suppose the US certification is better than nothing, but it also, clearly, causes confusion.
It does sound like we need... something here to sort this out. Perhaps make a separate suggestion based resolving this issue?

The version that was released in cinemas was 12, so I'd go with 12.
Heck, DVD ratings don't only depend on the version of the movie. They also depend on explicit elements in extras. The movie that was released in cinemas is rated 12. Surely that should be the rating displayed?

Makes sense to me.
