The 50 most controversial movies ever.Warning: What follows is explicit. These movies
It’s time to get delightfully offended with these all-time shockers.
http://newyork.timeout.com/arts-cult...al-movies-ever Note: By David Fear, Joshua Rothkopf and Keith Uhlich |
From this list I have seen in entirety:
Titticut Follies (always sounded like a smut film) Basic Instinct The Man with the Golden Arm The Last House on the Left The Texas Chainsaw Massacare Song of the South Dirty Harry Scarface Midnight Cowboy The Silence of the Lambs Do the Right Thing The Passion of the Christ Crash The Exorcist Life of Brian Freaks (saw it in a Paris hotel room of all places) A Clockwork Orange The Birth of a Nation Triumph of the Will The Last Temptation of Christ |

I'm amazed at how tame some of those are today. I don't think Midnight Cowboy would get worse than a PG-13 if released today. Of course I might be forgetting parts, as I only saw it once when it was released.
A list? I never thought of that. Okay. The Wild Bunch Basic Instinct Resevoir Dogs The Song Of The South Dirty Harry Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song Scarface (yes, the original, and yes, it's better) Midnight Cowboy I Am Curious (Yellow) (and the Blue version) The Outlaw The Silence of the Lambs The Exorcist Life of Brian Straw Dogs Bonnie and Clyde Last Tango in Paris A Clockwork Orange The Birth of a Nation I'm actually surprised at the number of them that I haven't seen. |

Ones I've seen
Dirty Harry The Silence of the Lambs The Life of Brian The Exorcist (got bored, didn't watch it all) A Clockwork Orange (Same as above) |
I've only seen Life of Brian from that list. I don't really watch a great deal of movies.

I agree with Steve regarding how tame some of them are by todays standards so I'll simply add one quickie....Rambo IV.

Did Death Wish and Rambo IV generate a lot of controversy?
|
Rambo IV was a sleeping pill, and Death Wish in his time a good movie both had opponents in various groups ranging from defense of legal rights and political moves of those who did not come home from Vietnam.

Ones I've watched:
RESERVOIR DOGS THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (1974) DIRTY HARRY THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS PEEPING TOM THE EXORCIST LIFE OF BRIAN BONNIE AND CLYDE LAST TANGO IN PARIS A CLOCKWORK ORANGE |
What I saw from the list:
THE WILD BUNCH THE DEVILS BASIC INSTINCT HAIL MARY RESERVOIR DOGS THE MOON IS BLUE KEN PARK DIRTY HARRY DEEP THROAT SCARFACE MIDNIGHT COWBOY HENRY & JUNE THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST “UN CHIEN ANDALOU” (1929)/L’AGE D’OR CRASH THE EXORCIST LIFE OF BRIAN IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES BONNIE AND CLYDE LAST TANGO IN PARIS FREAKS A CLOCKWORK ORANGE SALÒ, OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM TRIUMPH OF THE WILL THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST Like sailor steve, several films were controversail at the time and some of them still are. But then, there is also the personal taste or endurance. I do not like horror/gruge or what ever films. I know and saw a few scenes of canibal holocoust but I refuse to see it as other films of that kind. Salo, I saw once and possibly never again. I didn't went to see the brown bunny beacuse several indie films for me doesn't have any appeal. Why the first movie is the last temptation? For me it isn't controversial. Where is the antichrist? Or the scenes there are not controversial now? |
