Do you guys know any movies that have been banned from shelves and now you can buy thm? I think Unhinged got banned and so did The Last House on the Left.

Luckily here in the US we have the First Amendment. I have a feeling you are referring to the UK as I know for a fact that the movies you stated (Last house and Unhinged) were and/or are banned in the UK.

For a list by country check out good old Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banned_movies#United_States) .

Most films that were banded back in the day are no longer, thought they have yet to be discovered and put on DVD. I wonder if there's a movie that's still banded in the states?

Only for legal reasons:
1987: Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story is banned from sale, distribution, and public exhibition by court order after a civil trial on copyright infringement.

2002: The Profit is prevented from exhibition by a legal injunction (April 2002-present) in one jurisdiction by a lawsuit from the Church of Scientology claiming libel, pending trial.

SLUGS??!! What the fuck?! That weird 80's horror based on SHAUN HUTSON'S novel?! How the fuck did that get banned?!! Although I must say it's another film I got sent to bed whilst watching. I got upset when the old dude had to cut his hand off with the garden shears!! He he what a pussy I am! :D

He he that's hilarious! It's not exactly a tame film but I can't imagine it having a negative impact on anybody, with or without a huge psychological defect!! What next, banning DOLLS because young kids are going around making their dolls attack people?!! Weird shit. :confused:

Not missing anything??!!! Hell yeah she is!!! She hasn't gotten to see SETH GREEN as a young ass motherfucker acting like more of a geek than he usually does! AND....AND she has missed out on ALFONSO RIBEIRO (CARLTON from THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR) play a character completely the opposite from the show....a hard-ass gangster wannabe doing drugs an' shit!!!

Man I gotta get this film - it's been too damn long!! I liked it!! :p

A couple years back there was a big fuss about Ken Park being banned in Australia. The cops even raided a screening at least once or twice. I personally think it's politically-motivated bullshit. :mad:

It hasn't been officially banned in the USA, though it has yet to find a distributor here. I know this isn't officially "horror," but it's an excellent example of contemporary censorship.
