Sorry guys, you GOT that wrong. Anything still playing on Youtube cannot be controversial. Its an oxymoron.
Now this is controversial !!

This was in another thread I seem to recall, don't know if it was you that posted it. It's not really as controversial as anything else, seems a bit like hostel from the trailer. Although I haven't seen it so I can't really pass judgement.
No one here will yell at you, well maybe BlueBells. I'd be more worried about getting attacked by The Bear 247.
Baise-Moi
'Baise Moi was the first film to be banned in France, a country famously liberal about its artistic censorship, for nearly three decades. An ultra-violent Thelma-and-Louise-on-crack tale shot on a shoestring and starring former porn performers, it remains notorious for its unflinchingly graphic and deeply unpleasant sex scenes.'
Antichrist
'Controversy follows Danish director Lars Von Trier everywhere he goes, but never has the indignation been fiercer than for his last film, a sexual horror movie with Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg going loony in a woodland shack after the death of their child. Branded misogynist by shocked critics and frantically lauded by others, the film featuring a great deal of graphic sexual mutilation (both male and female), and - bizarrely - a talking fox.'
Blue Velvet
'Anyone who saw Blue Velvet at an impressionable age has Dennis Hopper's gas-snorting sado-masochistic rapist burned onto their subconscious like a cattle brand. Flipping unexpectedly between brutal violence, uncontrollable weeping and maniacal laughter, Booth is truly, dangerously unhinged. Hopper's performance colours the whole film.'
American Psycho
'Although fairly restrained compared to the source material, American Psycho is still a gruelling movie both for Christian Bale's grinning psycho yuppie and the actual violence, most of which happens offscreen. Bateman, with his love of fine tailoring, Phil Collins and decapitation, is a genuinely creepy figure.'

This Film is Not Yet Rated for exposing disparity in the MPAA ratings for big studio and independant movies. But I'm a Cheerleader for it's lesbo content.
Kids
Because of its unexpurgated subject matter centering on relatively young teenagers, Kids has been controversial. The film includes much explicit sexual dialogue and depicts scenes of date rape, physical violence, drug dealing, alcohol abuse, theft, seduction of barely post-pubescent minors, and (non-explicit) teenage sexual displays, as well as (apparently) adolescent actors/actresses in near but not quite explicit exposure. The original version of the film was rated NC-17 in the US

The film caused controversy upon its release, because it dealt with topics such as underage sexual behavior along with drug and alcohol abuse and self-mutilation.

Finally got around to watching Frontiers yesterday after having the DVD for 2 years and although good it was also very disappointing at the same time. It was neither really scary or original, it started great but the plot seemed ridiculous and unbelievable to me in the end. Maybe I missed some subtitles but were they eating people as part of some Aryan mythology, nothing really made any sense. And at the end when she gets to the police roadblock are they going to help her or are they in cahoots with the 'Nazi' family as the eldest son earlier said that he had set up a roadblock?

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
I remember Boxing Helena being protested by various feminist groups when it came out. And Mandingo was protested by various Black groups when it came out.
Someone has already mentioned A Clockwork Orange and Caligula.
But I'd say The Passion of the Christ probably got the most press of any (fairly recent) controversial film that I can recall.
Great thread!
