This week is a bit of a change from the most celebrated motion pictures in film history to those which which are famous (or perhaps infamous) for a different reason. Rather than picking your top 10 from those which have won the most prestigious award in Hollywood, I'd like you to choose from the films the Director of Public Prosecutions deemed to be 'obscene'.

If you want to do separate lists for the 39 which were prosecuted, the 33 which were not prosecuted, and the 82 which were could not be prosecuted but could be seized, that might make things simpler and maybe even more interesting.

VIDEO NASTIES



For reference, you may want to consult these lists:

This is what i posted previously, i don't think anythings changed since, i've seen about six more since but none would dent the top ten.

Below are my favourites, i can't finalise a final order of preference,but in my mind they are the best of the bunch.

The Beyond
The Living Dead At Manchester Morgue
Tenebrae
Cannibal Holocaust
Dead & Buried
The Evil Dead
Inferno
Possession
The Last House On The Left
Exposé

I'll do a section 3 list separately once i've sorted it.

Just out of curiosity was The Killer Nun listed as a video nasty or was that just hear say?

Think it was on the list but not prosecuted so it counts.
