I can’t believe there are so few posts on this list and it’s been around so long. This is an excellent list! Thanks for tossing in the explanation of why it was controversial and what some of the consequences were.

Yes I think “Pretty Baby” should of been on this list, along with “Bastard out of Carolina”, the abuse physical and *****ual, in that movie on a very young child were graphic and shocking. Another movie that some people found shocking was “Lolita”, the original as well as the remake, but to me Pretty Baby and BOOC were worse b/c the victims were a lot younger. You have a 10 or so year old in PB and BOOC compared to a 14-15 year old in Lolita. However all of them are pretty shocking!

I have to agree racism goes both ways. To me I feel like that people tend to excuse black people for it and that they get by with it a lot easier than white people do now. Which is not fair! If that situation had of been the other way around no one would of been saying that the kid asked for it. If the kid has been black and did something considered racial bullying and 5 white boys killed him, then it wouldn’t of mattered what the black kid did in the first place. No one would dare say he was asking for it. So just goes to show you how things have definitely changed. When a guy goes in and shoots up a school b/c he was bullied by the kids, and he kills those kids that bullied him, do we say Oh, well those kids deserved it? No..What I am afraid is going to happen is that one day soon white people are going to end up being black people 50-60 years ago. Is anything ever going to be equal? I mean for goodness sakes we have a black president now. How can people still want to play the race card all the time?

Hello and Good Day, my name is Davey. The reason that I’m writing you this is that I am looking for an amateur film maker that would be interested in filming/documenting my planned death. I hate the word suicide, I prefer chosen death.

My life’s story is something like a jimmy buffet novel written by Stephen King.

I’ve done alot in my life, and Ive been from riches to rags, to riches to rags. People have the right to chose how to live, shouldn’t we have the right to chose how e die?

Anyways, if you hear my story for 10 minutes you’d understand where I’m coming from. I’ve lived in Central America for nearly 8 years and have smelled deaths rancid breath several times.

Currently I’ve been hiding out in a cabin in Honduras where a man has paid people and police to kill me and I figure that when I die it will be my way.

Well that’s a start,lemme know if you or anybody you know is interested in a real, true life story.

Thanks for Your Time, Davey

Pathetic list of mainstream films posing as controversial. I’d accept Salo and possibly AClockworkOrange, but the rest are ridiculous. Get your folks to turn off you ParentalControls and leave Hollywood in the dustbin before you make a list.

Im sorry to report that it appears that all entries in this list is a complete copy/paste work except #3. Saló.
The story line from each film is copied from imdb.com,
And the controversy, the “author” copied entries 1-9 from another list: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1202224_4,00.html
or
http://hinghamschools.com/HHS/teachers/afennelly/docs/Grade%2012/Modern%20Dilemmas/Most%20controversial%20movies.doc)

Both links show the same list, but the second link is a document that appears to have been written by students. Dont no when created could been taken from ew.com
entertainment weekly posted the list June 9, 2006.

I’ve not yet seen The Last Temptation of Christ, but isn’t that the one where Jesus is tempted to not go through with being killed, sees how great life could be if he lives, and then chooses to die for us anyway? Sure, it’s not biblically accurate, but the overall message that he choose to die for us anyway is beautiful to me. I wonder if all the people outraged by the film actually knew how it ended.

As for the controversy of The Passion, that has always annoyed me. I’m a Jew. I’ve seen the movie twice and am not offended by it in any way. Mel Gibson’s point in making the film was to give a biblically accurate account of Jesus’s death. He can’t just leave the part about the Jews out, because that is in the Bible.

I saw “A Serbian Film” and think it should be #1 on this list. It came out in 2010 and is extremely graphic. It shows a baby getting raped and has a scene containing necrophilia. It is extremely controversial. It is filled with ***** and nudity.
But on one hand is also a very good movie. I don’t think the necrophilia or pedophilia was great or should be encouraged but it had a great plot. Once you get past the rape parts its really good. There are shocking parts, funny parts at the beggining and each scene led up to another scene. It also has a great ending. I’m not talking about the suicides but i’m talking about the part where Milos has to rape one of the people on the floor. I don’t think the rape was good but when Marko (the masked man) comes in and gets the other one and Vukmir gets killed by Milos and Petar, Maria, and Milos all leave was a really good scene.
This movie, while containing extreme *****uality, nudity,violence,drugs and language, is a strong movie. It is the most controversial movie I’ve ever seen, other than A Clockwork Orange. But it also is a fantastic, feeling evoking movie. Whether the feelings evoked are good or bad depend on whether you can get past the rape and *****ual violence and receive any of the messages depicted in A Serbian Film.
