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.

Dr. Strangelove is not very controversial. Maybe at the time? Deep throat was sort of the opposite of controversial, it was a porn film that gained some acceptance to mainstream moviegoers.

Schindler's List, controversial?? How so?

 

[Mucho]

The Wild Bunch

 

[Parrotheader]

Birth of a Nation

We nevery actually watched it, but it was the very first movie addressed on this topic in my film history class back in college.

In recent memory Fahrenheit 9/11 and Passion were the most controversial.

The sheer amount of for and against email (from lots and lots of angry people) we received was incredible.

Any movie that gets the right-wing fundy nut-jobs up in arms is controversial these days.

And they also do great at the box office.

I don't understand why you are listing Pasion of the Christ as controversial. Everything from the movie accuratly depicts what the Bible states in all 4 gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).

 

[Glavinsolo]

Last temptation of Christ got a lot of backlash but then again most of you weren't around for that

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Citizen Kane.

Yeah, I don't recall it being controversial. There was just a lot of hooplah about it, being about JC and all.

Reefer Madness?

Directly after the Columbine shootings movies like Mrs. Tingles and Idel Hands were pulled or not allowed a theatrical release

Nice flame-bait, but you're kidding yourself if you don't think it was controversial.

Hardcore religious groups protested a commercial movie depicting what it did, and Jewish groups protested it from the opposite end as anti-semitic.

I don't remember a lot of religious "groups" protesting it. Jewish groups protested it because they do not believe Christ is the Massiah.

No, they protested because they felt it was anti-semitic.

Why would they protest just because the movie details the Christian fable? Plenty of other movies had done that already.
