most controversial movie...

[Bartino]

you have the obvious brokeback mountain as of late, but an older one coming to mind is a clockwork orange

 

[MartyMcFly3]

The Exorcist.

That movie raised a lot of hell! (alright bad joke, but seriously, that movie was pretty controversial when it was originally released)

 

[imported_Trippin315]

Dogma stirred up some sh!t for awhile

 

[ryan256]

If I remember right The Crying Game cause quite a stir.

 

[LikeLinus]

Da Vinci Code
The Passion of the Christ
Caligula
Kids
The Last Temptation of Christ
Farenheit 9/11

 

[SaltBoy]

Triumph of the Will, without question. That constantly put chills up my spine.

 

[Forsythe]

A Clockwork Orange win of those simply because it's a superior film.

How about Apocalypse Now? I can imagine in having atleast some impact.

 

[cirrhosis]

Dang, LikeLinus got to it first.

 

[GTaudiophile]

The DaVinci Code and The Passion of the Christ.

Guess Jesus is good for the box office.

There have been a lot of controversial films. Last Tango in Paris comes to mind, but it really depends on what sort of controversy you are looking for. Like clockwork, last tango was rated X. But it remained that way even years later, and even years later a lot of people find it controversial, whereas clockwork orange has lost some of its luster in terms of controversy (but not in terms of greatness!).

Deep throat would also be considered "controversial".

Dr. Strangelove is another one.

What about the movie "KIDS"?

Pretty solid list...

slightly OT from the original post, but Madonna could fall into that category, too (if you find some way to consider her tours a motion picture).

Why would that be controversial?

 

[Accipiter22]

Yeah I placed KIDS into my original post awhile ago.

To the person asking about it - It was about kids who go around unknowingly carrying the AIDS virus and having sex. There was a big buzz about it when it first came out. depicting kids with aids and having sex?

 

[Jikininki]

American History X
Schindler's List

Was American History X really controversial - or just a wack movie?

Schindler's List is a good add though.

I've seen it, i just can't see why that would be controversial, oh well.
