And if there is one thing we can all compromise on, it is to agree to disagree. The movies below have raised an array of contentious opinions and discussions. Expect to see both old and more recent film releases. And although open-mindedness is very much celebrated, a healthy discussion of controversial opinions is welcome and encouraged.īelow, we have assembled a list of the most controversial movies. However, certain things remain unchanged and still prevail as modern society's problems, more or less. People don't shy away from discussing uncomfortable and sometimes disturbing issues. Today, there are fewer topics deemed taboo. Nevertheless, what were considered disturbing movies back in the day could potentially be classified as simply thought provoking movies for the current audience. If Fritz the Cat (1972) was never banned ( in fact, it was banned and then un-banned in New Zealand and Spain), we could argue that films are allowed much more stretch and flexibility these days. Even blockbusters such as Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) and Me Before You (2016) were deemed controversial.

And actually, there have been plenty of rather controversial movies released in the past few years.

In contrast to today, filmmakers don't shy away from including a controversial topic in the plot. However, others continue to ooze a sense of danger. However, we live in a very different age, and some of the movies on the list may appear mild and tame by today's standards.
