So 45 from the entire list. 17 numbered ones. I The Passion of the Christ really the most controversial film of all time? I'll have to read the web site and see the justifications (if they have them) but there are some really odd choices on there.

I've seen these. Um, I don't think the people who made the list know what 'controversial" means.

Also, they changed the voices of all the "Arabian" extras in Aladdin to speak with anglo accents when they released it with the emasculated lyrics.

Two things:

First I don't think you can deny that a film like Passion of the Christ caused a lot of controversy, whether you or I personally felt the controversy for that or any other movie on the list is immaterial.

Also it does make we wonder, what would you list as your top two or three selections for this list?

[Morrigoon]

I'm surprised to say I've seen 10 of them.

edit:

Strike that, turns out I've also seen Bandit Queen, so that makes 11

[Strangler Lewis]

42.

[Alex]

Was Citizen Kane controversial with anybody other than Hearst (not that this wasn't more than enough controversy to financially tank the movie)?

[JWBear]

26 out of 75...

[Snowflake]

51 for me
