What's the most controversial movie ever?


And why would you say so? One film I seen that seems to have had endless controversy swirling about it is "the beach". Apparently there was controversy about the filming and possible environmental damage to the location. As well the movie plot stirred up hot debate as well. Personally I loved the film! It still captivates me to this day.

The Children's Hour (1961).

Looked that up on IMDB, it does look pretty controversial, especially for the level of stars in it.

Maybe not what you had in mind, but if I should take your question literally: I would mention that a porn company called Color Climax was the first to Sell commercial CP-films in the 70s until it became illegal in 1980.
It was always illegal to produce these films, but not to sell them in Denmark before 1980. Meaning companies could buy from third parties and sell.

Of course, this was very controversial.

Without a doubt, Birth of a Nation. That crap film has caused more controversy in American history than any other film ever made.

Well, some people do blame that folm for the 20th century resurgence of the KkK.

But have you ever heard anyone defending it? It takes two sides to make a controversey!

Anything religious. Passion of the Christ and Last Temptation of Christ.

A Clockwork Orange - there was a lot of gangs fighting and lots of young ones try to become Alex DeLarge. And even more importantly,is taking free will good or bad?

Passion of the Christ and Last Temptation of Chrst are already mentioned. Both perfectly fits

The Deer Hunter,Apocalypse Now - Given time when they made,they had to be controversial

Cannibal Holocaust , Salo:120 Days of Sodoma , Pink Flamingos , Serbian Film , Deep Throat - Sick fantasies of Directors

JFK - neverending Kennedy debate

Lolita,Basic Instinct,Dreamers,Last Tango in Pariz,Kids - sexuality

Auditiom,Irreversible,Antichrist,Natural Born Killers - graphic violence
