A list of the most controversial movies by Entertainment Weekly:

http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,1133994_1_0_,00.html


Gone With the Wind
Basic Instinct
Natural Born Killers
JFK
Boys N the Hood
The Birth of a Nation
Deep Throat
L'Age D'or

Race, religion, sex and violence are, of course, the popular themes. I don't understand why people would want to yank any movie, unless it was snuff. It's a movie. It's not real. dry.gif

Hey you forgot Deliverance

I would have thought Fahrenheit 911 would be on the list.

That's because they said "controversial", not "a pack of lies". Only you and your three best friends still take it seriously enough to call it "controversial".

Actually I didn't take it very seriously either B.

First of all it barely scraped the surface of the Bush/bin Laden families relationship, and secondly I knew everything worth knowing in it years before W ever ran for president.

It was the last one. They also listed The Last Temptation of Christ. A pretty tame list of controversial movies IMO.

I looked through every page to see if they listed Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove. That has to be the funniest controversial movie ever.

BTW, what was so controversial about Deepthroat?

Maryln Chambers (female lead in Deepthroat) wasn't the one that was 15, that was some other porn star--who for some reason I can't remember her name. Greedy can probably help me out here. biggrin.gif

Yoss you old perv. youv'e got your facts all screwed up

1) Linda Lovelace was the star of deepthroat . Legal at the time then turned to god later before she died
2) Marily chambers was the star of Behind the green door. Before that she was the Ivory soap model
3) Traci Lords was the minor that starred in a movie and caused a big stink. all her movies were pulled from
distribution.

Linda Lovelace was the orally fixated actress. I do not think anyone in the movie was a actually a minor. Just a rumor?

Thanks Samy, that's exactly right! Gettin' senile in my old age! Ship me off to the home... laugh.gif

Ever since my pornograph broke I have trouble keepin' up with the nudes... uh, news. laugh.gif
Heather
Damn Samy! Way to set 'em straight! laugh.gif

I agree with Idiot, the list is pretty tame. Especially considering some of the wicked, wicked horror movies the I've only heard about and haven't seen. They don't carry them in your average family video store. I've heard they are so bad that they make people vomit and cry. laugh.gif
Yossarian
I vomit and cry over those Hallmark series TV movies...

well, maybe not cry... laugh.gif

Vomiting and crying...I hate it when that happens.

What about those movies--I've never seen them--that are supposed to be real-life things of people/animals getting hurt, dismembered, etc. Faces of Death or Faces of Evil or something like that?
Naomi
Now that would make me vomit & cry mad.gif
