Brian DePalma's groundbreaking 1968 counterculture film, GREETINGS!, was the very first film to receive an X rating from the newly created MPAA. This is the 1st of 3 compilation clips that show why the film is classic, though they dont include any of the extensive nudity that was the reason for the film's adult classification. DePalma created a sequel in 1970 called "Hi Mom!", which had its own bouts of censorship difficulties with the MPAA, before it was finally granted an R after a few minor cuts.
