50 Banned Movies That Were Deemed to Be Too Controversial for Some Nations (Bored Panda)

"It's important to distinguish between controversial and banned movies. One of them raises eyebrows, while the other is prohibited by the government itself. The banned movies are notorious for being restricted for a variety of reasons. Some are prohibited for political reasons, others — due to the period they came out in. But this doesn't mean that a banned movie is horrible. There are a few examples of movies that dominated some box offices but got banned in others. Despite their flaws and hidden messages, they are still rated pretty high in the eyes of the audience. If you are out searching for the next film to watch, we have compiled some banned motion pictures in the list below." - boredpanda.com
