Rosalind Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Never walked out of a film, fell a sleep during American Beauty though. I know a lot of people like this film and normally I like that type of films but this one just couldn't keep me awake Quote
Bel-ami Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I fell asleep through all of the Lord of the Rings films. Those films are straight garbage. I've never walked out of a film, but I do remember to being one of the few people in the whole cinema who did stay to the end of one notorious film.....late 70s........any guesses? Quote
Michelle Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I've never walked out of a film, but I do remember to being one of the few people in the whole cinema who did stay to the end of one notorious film.....late 70s........any guesses? The Exorcist? Quote
Bel-ami Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Good guess, but I'm not that brave think more 'depravity'.......maybe I shouldn't be owning up to this? (but it was on mainstream release, not a dodgy back-street cinema!) Quote
Michelle Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I'm wondering about A Clockwork Orange, but I'm also thinking that it was banned? Quote
Bel-ami Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 mmm... I'm not sure A Clockwork Orange ever showed in the UK did it? I think the depravity that the Church and the WI were protesting about at the time was more about than violence. Quote
SueB Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Oh my Ive been racking my brains for late 70s films but I was only in my mid teens give us another clue Quote

Peacefield Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 How about Jaws, Star Wars or Ordinary People? I thought of the Godfather, but I think that came out in '72... Quote
catwoman Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 The only ones I can think of are cannibal Holocaust ( which I think might have been the early 80's and I don't think it was shown inthe Uk. The only other one that I can think of that caused that much uproar was Deepthroat. I am sure there are others though. I thought of the Exorcist also. Quote
Bel-ami Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Good guesses, especially Life of Brian by honestfi, but nobody has it yet. Helen Mirren is in it Quote
catwoman Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Good guesses, especially Life of Brian by honestfi, but nobody has it yet. Helen Mirren is in it Oh ummmm.... Calagula? The Roman film?? Or amI totally wrong? I think heard her talk about it in a interview. Quote
Bel-ami Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 and the prize goes to catwoman! Yes it was Caligula. I remember there was a campaign to get it withdrawn - locally at least. Should I be ashamed? Quote

Should I be ashamed? No no need to be ashamed. If I am right it was banned becuase it contained scenes of real sex. some type of playboy magazine owner who helped fund it said there was not enough sex and if the story is right added porn into it. I remember Helen saying that the new version was 1 hour short due to all the take outs. CRIKEY!!!! I might be totally and utter wrong though. Quote
Janet Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Mum and I walked out of Dorian Gray this afternoon after managing to stomach an hour of it! I will post more in the designated thread (which I haven't read yet) - in spoiler tags - in a while. Quote
Bel-ami Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 No no need to be ashamed. I'm not ashamed, just wondered if I should be That's a lot to cut out! Janet - Shame about Dorian, I think I;ll give it a miss. Quote

I will be honest. I google it this morning as I could not believe that there could have been so many sex scenes to cut out and IT'S TRUE! Cor Blimey! No wonder some people wanted it banned Quote
Bel-ami Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 No-one else seems to be owning up to sitting through it! I was 17 or 18 at the time Quote
Dimitra Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I don't agree with banning films. If you feel uncomfortable about a film, don't watch it, simple as that. By banning it, is like you're trying to impose your opinion on others. Besides, some films that were banned at their time, are now considered to be classic, like A Clockwork Orange or The Last Tango In Paris (eager to see both of them) Quote
