List of banned films
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For nearly the entire history of film production, certain films have been banned by film censorship or review organizations for political or moral reasons or for controversial content, such as racism. Censorship standards vary widely by country, and can vary within an individual country over time due to political or moral change.

In some countries, films are banned on a wide scale; these are not listed in this table.
