Controversial movies....

Or 'Dogma'.

The Virgin Spring.  Shocking rape scene for the 1950s. 

Spartacus was tampered with.  "Some men like oysters, some men like snails, I happen to like both." Edited out.  If it had been left in, can only imagine how theater goers in the 1950's would have thought!

Streetcar Named Desire.  Some lines from the play didn't make the movie. An implication that Blanche's husband had left her for a man!   The play was practically scandalous in London, from what I've read.  And theater goers tend to be more sophisticated about those things. 

Easy Rider.  The sex in the cemetary scene.

Midnight Cowboy.

Clockwork Orange was banned in the UK for some time. And Kubrick lived there.



 

Lumière:
I would have to add the movie Priest, released in 1994. 
It was highly controversial when it was released, seeing as it dealt with issues surrounding a gay Catholic priest who was struggling to deal with his homosexuality, his duties as a priest, and what the Church expects of him.  Love this film!
Linus Roache and Tom Wilkinson were great in this picture!

--- End quote ---
You can see why people said:
"But I'm only 17!"
"I'm not superstitious."

(You may need to know the precursor:
"To the woods, to the woods!"
"No no!"
"To the woods, to the woods!"
"I'll tell the vicar!"
"I am the vicar."
"My father wouldn't like it!"
"Your father's not going to get it."
"But I'm only 13!"
"I'm not superstitious.")
