I won't be happy with the BBFC until we have a level playing field with the US and the rest of Europe. But i do agree though, things are a hell of a lot better than they used to be.

Okay then, I loves a challenge!! 15 to 20 dvds cut by our beloved Censors over the last 2 years........ GO!
The Owner 142s
War of the Arrows 5s
Immortals 20s
Legendary Amazons 10s
Elfie Hopkins 6s
Stormhouse 1s (Hey! A cut is a cut!)
Deadtime 12s
Gengis Khan Pre cut 1965 cut by further 35s !!
Ninjagu (A LEGO film!) 12s
3 Stooges 5 different cuts - can't find out how much...??s
Sacrifice 32s
Human Centipede 2 Perhaps you know but a fair amount! ??s
I Spit on Your Grave - Both versions!! ??s
Emmanuelle in America 4:31s
House on the Edge of the Park ??s
Neighbour ??s
New York Ripper ??s
Sex and Zen 3D ??s
And lets not forget...A Serbian Film. More cuts than you can shake a pointy stick at!
And that's in 5 minutes of looking and doesn't include crapola like Step up to the Dance 4 or the hundreds of Adult entertainment dvds that are cut.
Things are better.....but still not good as the list above proves!
I presume you know the 3 or 4 banned titles...

Oops...The Owner 82s not 142!

Weren't films like Immortals only cut to get a certain certificate?

Elfie Hopkins was cut to get a 15 at the distributors request, so we can't blame the BBFC for it all.

Strangely i notice The Hunger Games is cut on dvd - 12 cert, but not on blu - 15 cert.

This makes me think blu ray isn't selling as well as hoped with Lionsgate thinking parents buying for their kids are more likely to buy the dvd not the Blu.

Probably because most kids under 15 don't have HD TV's and BD players in their bedrooms.


Considering how many films are coming out on BD, some of which are very rare and unseen since the VHS days, I'd say the format was doing pretty well.
