The British magazine Time Out has named a list of the 10 most controversial films of all time -- and somehow folks just assumed that BROKEBACK would be one of them. Surprisingly or not, it was not included. Here is the magazine's choices:
1 Salò (1975) Pier Paolo Pasolini
2 Natural Born Killers (1994) Oliver Stone
3 Crash (1996) David Cronenberg
4 The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) Martin Scorsese
5 The Devils (1971) Ken Russell
6 Pretty Baby (1977) Louis Malle
7 Birth of a Nation (1915) DW Griffith
8 Straw Dogs (1971) Sam Peckinpah
9 Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) Terry Jones
10 Bandit Queen (1994) Shekhar Kapur
Well I would add these because each in their own day and time were considered controversial:
Freaks
Peyton Place
The Children’s Hour
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
Cruising
Midnight Cowboy
Last Tango in Paris
Clockwork Orange
Caligulia
The Last House on the Left
Basic Instinct
Henry and June ( the film the NC-17 rating was created for)
Are there any others?
