Famous Movies That Have Been Banned All Over the World

The Last Temptation of Christ

The Last Temptation of Christ was developed by Martin Scorsese in 1988. It was a departure from the biblical method of describing the life of Jesus, which more realistically depicted Jesus's mortal temptations. Particularly, the ones that were of a sexual nature. 

Not for the Religious Types

This movie was banned in Isreal on release, but was later allowed when it was rebranded as "satire." The Last Temptation of Christ was completely banned in Singapore, where it is still illegal to show. Luckily, in America, we have the ability to freely watch things even if they go against the institutionalized belief of Christianity in the government. But, if it weren't for the first amendment, we would likely be disallowed from viewing the movie.
