I argue with my wife all the time about this. In my teens I used to watch loads of banned movies and import the most terrible stuff from abroad - now I am a greeting card illustrator drawing cute teddy bears for a living!
I think if you are going to do something violent / terrible then the disposition, the trigger if you will, has to be in place already - a mental instability, a chemical imbalance.
Strange situations, traumas or even religion causes more people to do harm than watching movies does, I can't recall a case where it was 100% that a movie caused someone to go out and do something silly - but there is always a lot of media / gutter press speculation.
But that's just my opinion - hope it is of some help.
