Crash, its so sick and shocking, i mena who gets of on that type of stuff crashing into stuff/people whatever then jerking of/havein sex whatever, although it was sick i was glued to the screen, texes chain saw masscare, evil dead etc is nothing although it is bad for the period it was made in 80s/70s etc..........
Texas Chainsaw Massacre still freaks me out now!!!
But the most disturbing banned film I have ever seen has got to be Canabal Holocaust, that is just sick and the blokes in the room had tears in their eyes because of what happens to one of the guys..... I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, word of advice tho don't watch it whilst eating!!!
A class of Japanese schoolchildren is abducted and taken to an island. Once there they are given provisions and implements of destruction and told they have three days to reduce their number to one.
Cue two hours of exemplay character study, hyperkinetic violence and much food for thought.
i would say straw dogs, definatly one of the best 'banned' films ever. dustin hoffman is superb as the supposed pacifist who gets pushed to his limits. that and the exorcist, which scared the bejesus out of me but when my younger sister watched it she laughed!!! different things scare different people.

Years ago while on holiday in Florida i bought 2 films i couldn't buy in England,THE EXORCIST and A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, the guy found it hard to believe these weren't available in the U.K. remember i had to pay quite a lot of money to transfer them from the American NTSC format to PAL as in those days most vcrs didn't play U.S.tapes.
I appreciate these were not banned as such,but were unavailable so to speak,even though they were important mile-stones in cinema history.
Hey folks, never posted on this interesting forum (or any other C4 forum for that matter)so here goes...
I Spit On Your Grave (The Bath scene still freaks me out)
Bad Boy Bubby (Austrailian Shocker. Don't know if it was banned though, but a great head trip of a movie)
Necromancer II (Dutch sex/murder film. Really strange)
On the subject of "A Clockwork Orange": I have always had a deep sense of disappointment with this film. Sure, it was extreme for the time, but I think it turns from a wonderfully imaginative persepctive of the future into a really boring rehabilitaion story. Sure, some of the stuff that happens after Alex's rehab is interesting (turning up at the guys house whom he crippled after he's been beaten up by his ex-droogies.)and the way in which he is treated so that he fears violence and sexual practice is amusing, but please, it's a good film, not a great one. Stanley made many better and I've always found Terry Gilliam's Brazil a more amusingand better directed film.
