Top 20 Most Controversial Movies Ever 

Honorable mention: Cuties

Honorable mention Martyrs

All of them

It feels like you guys redo this video like once a year

the interview and the exorcist

Yes

Absolutely

Yeah still wish I could remove the memory of witnessing human centipede , oh well

So…….Degrassi but without Drake?

That came out wrong, great now they are watching me

I never an std so no

I watched Kids so many times when I was in high school. I absolutely despised Telly. I wanted to bitch slap him for being such a deplorable douche.

So basically being 19

My all time favorite horror movie!

The Exorcist and The Shining, two of the best horror films of all time.

And I think the first horror film to be nominated and win a academy award.

One of the first horror books I read. Both it and the movie are amazing.

It's definitely on my top 10 list of all time favorite movies, not just horror movies

Proper horrorshow.

The r*pe was horrible

The book and the movie had different ideas. In the book, it was the idea of rehabilitation failing and you were supposed to be horrified. In the movie you were supposed to celebrate.

Yeah an absolute classic, also love eyes wide shut for the intriguing weirdness

Bruh I spit on your grave made me so uncomfortable watching that movie

Blue Velvet and Evil Dead as well

Caligula, definitely. Now that you mention it, I'm shocked it's not on here.

Actually, "Caligula" may have been shocking, but I doubt it was ever meant to be a serious historical piece.

And pink flamingos to me

Some say that salo is a masterpiece

Most of the people condemning those films when they were released hadn’t even seen the films. “Last Temptation” was branded blasphemy 30 years before Scorsese walked onto the set.

You forgot, cannibal holocaust

What is also amazing is, The exorcist was nominated for best picture & Linda Blair for best actress.

The spider walk scene will forever live rent free in my mind 😂

Okaaaay -- but I mainly remenber "doober" giggles at the Drive-In theater...

Hmm I dunno. That barf scene I would consider gore. I’m not a 70s kid tho so that barf looks so fake to me but it was probably convincing beck then

I’m tired of all the jump scare hate. Yes you don’t need it for movies to be scary BUT it’s apart of the horror genre and there will always be room for it. It’s about execution

Still the scariest movie I ever watched!

My mom made me watch it with her at 8. I think thats where I got my fear of priests and Nuns. Who knows 🤷. I wasn't afraid of them before

The Shining would like a word with you.

@@Thespeedrap I did think The Shining was a bit scary but nothing like The Exorcist.

@@bambifrazz ok everyone has a opinion but we're both right.

Garbage day!

@@therunawaykid6523 It's been decades now but once a week when I take out the trash I have to say "Garbage Day!" I must do it. I must! There is no other option.

A Serbian Film is literally the only film that I regret watching due to how disturbing it was. I LOVE horror, but that one was wayyyyyyyyy too much

Same hear. This movie had me feeling like I was guilty of a crime just watching it! I broke the dvd into pieces immediately after watching!

I shut it off after the infant scene. That scene will ALWAYS haunt me!

@@onebobtwo *here

Same bruh. Same. I've watched it twice. I thought it would be easier the second time. It wasn't.

I love “The Life of Bwian...” Monty Python was brilliant!! They still make me cwack-up!! 🤪

@@corinnepmorrison1854 *Brian

I didn’t know that. That’s hilarious 😂

That's why I'll never watch it.

Yeah,that's the main problem I have with it too. It's a shame,cuz I like the film otherwise,but I wish all those animal deaths weren't in it. Those Amazonian tribes do actually do that in real life,tho. I think the director actually just filmed them killing their food in real life. It's been a while since I've seen it. But yeah,it's brutal to watch those scenes.

I don’t even have a dong but just thinking of that one scene.. oof

@@KingOfGaymes Yeah, that scene was disturbing!

@@KingOfGaymes - What about when she cut her clit off?

Where can one watch this movie

@@christianepperly9246 - I’ve got the Blu-ray but it should be available on most streaming/download services. Failing that the DVD is very cheap.

thx

@@NSHolt61 You're welcome! 😁

Good movie but still is a bit controversial.

Yup, I agree.

It’s a top 5 favorite. I remember the days of hitting the video store for tCtThW&hL, Wild At Heart, Boxing Helena… those were the days

Omg,I love that film!! So good

​@@anal_enthusiastyes ❤️. There was something to be said for perusing a video store back in the day. It always makes me feel cozy and nostalgic thinking about it.

@@kittenface8577 I never got adjusted to all this streaming biz. My old library used to buy all of the Criterion Collection plus some other weirdo stuff. Most libraries share-ship in stuff for free from other libraries, so I saw a lot of obscure stuff I wanted to check out that way as well. Check out Belladonna of Sadness by Eiichi Yamamoto in 1973. It’s a Japanese animation film created from watercolor paintings. It wasn’t properly restored and released in the US until 2016.

I have a dvd that’s as close to an integral cut as I’m gonna get. Surprised Sweet Movie didn’t make the list.

Excellent film.

I love The Devils! The set design and costumes,so good!

​@@gibsonraymondaEww,Sweet Movie was interesting until it came to a part where they were eating tongue,or something,I can't quite remember and it just really turned my stomach and stopped watching it. I remember watching around the same time I watched Salo,and it grossed me out worse than Salo did.

You watched an R-Rated movie (which some people said should have been rated "X") full of graphic violence and gratuitous sex when you were only TEN YEARS OLD? Did your parents let you do that? If they did, then that's taking permissiveness to a whole other (and INEXCUSABLE) level.

Jesus, you watched it at 10 YEARS OLD?!?!

​@@Ben-pd4wl I watched Kill Bill when I was 8 lol

​@@user-kj1pq6zh3x Violence in Kill Bill is just fighting A Clockwork Orange on the other hand is mental and far more disturbing for even a adult the most beautiful disturbing movie 😂

Mel Gibson is a truly gifted actor and filmmaker...

That amounts to child abuse. But so is teaching children the slew of bad history and science that fanatics insist is sacred and unquestionable.

@@corinnepmorrison1854 And a possible Anti-Semite and racist! Gibson a "truly gifted actor and filmmaker"? That's what a lot of people still say about D.W. Griffith, who, in addition to being a film director, was also a white supremacist who made the first motion picture epic, "The Birth Of A Nation" (1915), which, despite its cinematic achievements, was nothing but racist propaganda portraying black people as savages, and depicting the Ku Klux Klan as the heroes and saviors of the Post-Civil War South.

Brainwashed

Truth.

I agree. Nymphomaniac is pretty controversial too. Especially that abortion scene.

Yeah and I didn’t realise he was in a film playing Jesus with David Bowie also in the film

I think he was murdered over Theorem moreso than Saló. He was a homosexual and a communist, but The Gospel According to Mathew is still one of the best movies about Jesus:

Ditto. 😝Reading the PLOT made me nauseous.😝

Salo is a classic Italian film,and in my personal opinion,it's not quite as bad as it's made out to be. Yeah,there is some unsavory stuff in it,but it's watchable for the most part,by today's standards. Serbian Film,on the other hand,I have not seen it either and will never watch it. I know what happens in it,and I have absolutely no desire to watch that,I don't care if it's a well crafted film or not.

Yeah I refuse to watch that film alongside irreversible

Agreed

I have a signed copy of Cannibal Holocaust from the director.

awesome! I have an Odorama card (from Polyester) signed by John Waters.

I got to meet both of them years ago! It was fun.

Still annoyed I missed out on a signature from the legendary Brian blessed when I was in college

The MAIN inspiration.

A Serbian Film was crazy sick and to think i saw it on youtube yearsss ago is wild

@@johnye2210 honestly I'm worried a lot of viewers are going to do the same thing I did and have the mentality of "how bad can it be?" Believe me and I think I can speak for anyone who has seen it. Don't. Just don't.

@@NemmyBlade the newborn baby part really bugged me

Salo i think is one of the most disturbing movie i ever watched. Contracted too was horrible. Maggot coming outta her…. I died there🤮🤮🤮🤮

@@johnye2210 My jaw hit the floor when he beheaded a woman wife a machete while effing her doggie style.

Gummo was sick.

They did make a part 2.

Bunny Games? ah, Funny Games

I’d also include South Park: bigger, longer & uncut, fritz the cat and song of the south

@@MegaMaxiepad Bunny Games, it's a pretty sick movie

What station city , state was it please ?

@@akfreed6949 It's now KSEE 24, 24.1 over the air digital, Fresno, California.

@@DS-gg1pb up in Alaska back in the day , there was a few UHF channels run by baptist preacher Jerry Falwell . They were independent religious channels that ran 12 hours a day the other was as seen on TV infomercials . It was funny seeing Girls Gone Wild infomercials on a religious station at night . We had an Alaskan run music video channel in the late 80s which sadly died . They ran unedited music themed movies like Purple Rain & Pink Floyds The Wall . Anyway the religious owner , now retired was Jerry Prevo . He was on ABCs Night line arguing with the late Jerry Falwell .

I was also looking for Martyrs but it was not here. They should add it because it's very underrated. The ending is so profound as well.

Yep. Martyrs should be top 3

metaphor for what? sounds like a excuse to make a controversial splatter movie and call it art afterwards

@@chaos-fk6fs Director said it's a metaphor for how government in Serbia f*cks people in the country, hence the title. Although, there are really some nasty people in Serbia. As someone who helps animals I get threats like I am a common criminal. So yes, Serbian film indeed. Can you take me away from here??? Please?

that's quite an indictment of the guy's work... The Fly is good though

most of his movies are masterpieces: Scanners, Videodrome, Rabid, Naked Lunch... repeat viewings get better and better.

@@jeanlove8510 I know

It's a good one. I've always wanted to read the J.G. Ballard novel too,but it's kind of hard to find,at least it used to be. But Cronenberg is one of the greats. Senior, anyway. I've watched a couple from his son. Nowhere near as good or interesting as Cronenberg Sr.

@@jeanlove8510I will always watch videodrome whenever it’s on tv just so weird but watchable

I know animal cruelty rape of that tribal girl got impaled killing a baby beating up a woman crazy but the guy who played Alan yates I don't feel sorry for he deserved what he got but Fay no

That commenter who said he watched "The Exorcist" when he was ten years old was bad enough. But you watched "Cannibal Holocaust" (full of violence and cannibalism) when you were only NINE? WTF!!! 🤯🤬😡😤 Your parents must have been sick in the head to let you see a movie like that!

@@michaelpalmieri7335 I should have said that I haven't watched the full film. What I can remember was that my mother started watching it alone when I was playing outside. When I went home I saw the scene where the girl was brutally being (censored word) on the river. It wasn't pleasant so I asked my mom what was happening and she told me what it was. She actually had me play outside again as she felt that I was not comfortable watching it due to some nudity and brutality. When I came back again it was already the ending where the protagonist realized who the true cannibals were. She then lent the cd to one of our neighbors who is the father of my cousin. When DVD was rampant in those days, usually what the neighborhood do is gather inside a house and watch a movie. Even some had to be just outside the house to peep. I watched some parts past the scene mentioned above when group watching happened. I was with some of my cousins, uncles, aunts, and some adults. When they laughed and mocked the brutality scene where the perpetrators got their karma, I also laughed with my cousins but still, I can't hide the fact that it felt disturbing watching it even though I watched it with a group of people. My cousins and I were aged seven, eight, and 2 nines(including me). I'm from the Philippines by the way.

Look at spookyrices channel he covers disturbing movies. Really interesting but dark. He's great at it and some of the backstory

spoiler alerts are a good thing, just so you know

@@MegaMaxiepad Sorry my bad. I'll add a disclaimer

Serbian film feels too edgy. Clockwork orange is more subtle about violence and is actualy a really great movie. Serbian film was never as well kniwn as Clockwork orange, and that makes Clickwork orange more impactful and controversial. Plus the movie inspired many real life events of teenagers breaking into people's houses and acting like Alex.

@@PolishGod1234 *known

There is an alternate take where you do see the ear get cut off (it can be found as a deleted scene on the DVD). Tarantino decided that panning away was more effective, plus the effect really wasn't very good.

How old were you in 1971?

No,there are plenty of scenes they could have shown from it. It isn't absolute constant graphic obscenity. It's actually nicely filmed.

But it was on the list.

And always overlooked as a velvet-black comedy.

Yes it definitely is

The sex scene which is super sped up to match the music playing will always be one of the funniest film scenes I’ve ever watched 🤣🤣🤣

@@therunawaykid6523 Personally I find the gang fight and scene with the cat lady (apart from her being killed) really funny

The issue was mostly behind the scenes when they suspected the guy who made the movie actually killed the actors (he didn't thank god) all because of the animal deaths being real...yeah animals were harmed in the making of that film sadly.

Same Here

@@xxxentbrandonredhoodrobins7606 That makes three of us!

But I think he was pretty good in from dusk til dawn with George clooney

Maybe some people were outraged because the film doesn't take issue with how the George W. Bush administration practically tricked us into accepting the U.S. invasion of Iraq, by constantly linking that country's dictator, Saddam Hussein, with the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In fact, there's a scene where the main character uses 9/11 as a justification for his sniper actions. He thinks he's a hero and a patriot, when, in reality, he's as much a terrorist and a murderer as Osama bin Laden.
