Film censorship

[sudu]

I have to do a GCSE oral presentation and the topic choice is very wide so im thinking about doing film censorship/classifications. i dont have many ideas at the moment but i thought about mentioning films that were banned when they came out and were later allowed. does anyone know any examples? also does anyone know how i could make this really interesting or any other suggestions? thanks a lot!

The Marlon Brando film The Wild One was banned on release in the 1950's because it was thought that the subject matter - a biker gang taking over and terrorizing a small town - would incite such action in real life. Quite quaint in view of the fact that an average UK TV drama would show stronger material than that. Trivia point - The Black Rebel Motorcycle Gang from the film gave their name to a modern rock band.
