Controversial Films

Tim Dirks has compiled a list of controversial films over at FilmSite.

There are the usual suspects like Birth of a Nation, Basic Instinct, A Clockwork Orange and The Life of Brian, but there are some other notable entries that you might not expect.

Did you know that Disney’s Alladin offended Arabs? Or that The Outlaw starring Jane Russell drove a local judge in Baltimore to complain that “her breasts hang over the picture like a summer thunderstorm spread out over a landscape”?

For information on these and other controversial films check out the full list.
