Yes, create a gateway page. You could have thumbnails of the movies on
the page, with a rating of each, so the user would know before accessing
it. For example:
<p><img src="marypoppins.png" alt="Mary Poppins"><br>Mary Poppins (1964)
- G </p>
<p><img src="caligular.png" alt="Caligula"><br>Calligula (1979) - R</p>

You could do something server side with a database. For example:
SELECT video, rating FROM movies WHERE id = 2 and then create a warning
based on the record's result.

I would say that javascript might be a really bad idea, simply because
you cannot always guarantee that the user has it.
You can use ICRA labeling <http://www.icra.org/sitelabel/> in addition.
Programs like NetNanny can read the labeling and make decisions from
there.
