High worldwide money grossing controversial movies such as “The Last Temptation Of Christ” or ''The Da Vinci Code'' prove it. We're captivated by what shocks, disgusts, and divides us.

Not in nay particular order:

Private Lessons. (1981)
A French maid (Sylvia Kristel) seduce a 15 year boy and feature both of them naked in bath tube. Didn’t think much about it when I saw it theater in "81 as a young kid, but looking back as an adult, wonder how it got a green light with such racy topic.


The Exorcist (1973)
This movie created an uproar in religion community and even evangelist Billy Graham once claimed an actual demon was living in the celluloid reels of this movie. And Blair masturbating with a cross just put more fuel to fire.


Pretty Baby (1978)
This movie probably could not be today as it feature Brook Shield as 12 year that working in a brothel. And it also feature full nudity of Shields. 70’s Sexual revolution in full throttle.
