R rated films have adult content. (usually sex and/or violence). An unrated film may be very adult oriented or not at all. It's up to the company that makes a film to decide whether to submit it for a rating. Most theaters require a rating. That's why you see most unrated films on DVD.

∙ 10y agoTV MA is a television rating saying that the content is not suitable for persons under the age of 17. Rated R is a movie rating saying, the same thing, that the content is not suitable for persons under the age of 17. Honestly, both ratings mean the same thing, but are used in a different setting -- one for television and one for theater. However, since many television producers know that not every child is monitored by his parents, I'd say rated R is worse because a person under the age of 17 cannot purchase a ticket without an adult over the age of 21. In conclusion, both ratings mean the same thing but each used in a different setting.
Answer 2
The above is not entirely true. When it comes to certain programming particularly on pay TV, such as HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax, MA basically functions as an X or NC-17 rating in Cinema would. Since MA has the potential to reach NC-17 levels, MA is likely a more severe rating, because it means that while it can have the same things as R films might, it can have them to whatever level they want, because MA is the highest rating on TV.
