Written by Joshua Rothkopf, David Fear, Keith Uhlich, Andy Kryza & Matthew Singer So, in the interest of indulging the prurient curiosity of our readers, we’ve compiled this list of the most controversial movies ever made. But even the most unsavory have great stories behind them. A few are just downright vile – some led to criminal charges, and in one famous instance, helped prop up a fascist regime. Others were banned and panned and ended up ruining whole careers. Some broke legitimate boundaries and have come to be seen as pioneering works of art. Not all controversies are created equal, however. Sometimes, though, it’s at least partially true – if only because those movies barely got made in the first place, and certainly didn’t escape outrage at the time of release.

When it comes to movies, in particular, the oft-repeated phrase is, ‘You couldn’t make this today.’ Usually, it’s revisionist nonsense. It’s often said – usually by unfunny comics and angry white guys in bowties on cable news – that we’re living in an era of unprecedented cultural sensitivity that every person of a certain age spends every day desperately scouring the internet in hopes of finding another reason to clasp their proverbial pearls.
