I've used EBEEBE before and it's a gorgeous tuning, using for the song 'Gold' from the film/musical Once. Also the variation EADGBF# is super interesting with open cords, though you do have to be very careful with tuning the top E string that high, easy to snap if you're not careful.
Yes. Oscar winner "Once" was shot with DV and a budget of ~€150,000. Its box office was ~$20,710,513. It won the 2007 Academy Award for Best Original Song

It's been a long time since I've seen Once, but it's a touching love story. As far as I remember, there's no violence, graphic sex or anything remotely objectionable or disturbing besides your aforementioned f-bombs. The R rating may not be shocking since we know how the MPAA rates thing, but it certainly doesn't make sense that Once is less appropriate for teens than movies containing violence, sex and other things parents typically object to their kids seeing.

I think you'll find Once to be more innocuous than almost all of the movies on that list.
The worst case was still when Once: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0907657/ received an R-rating.
This is great and all, but it still thinks I'll love Once: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0907657/
