This one should be higher. Here are my chief reasons why:

1. This movie was banned for twenty years in certain countries, including the UK.

2. For his work on the film, the director was arrested by Italian authorities on suspicion of murder charges.

The relative obscurity of this movie probably kept it out of the top ten. I guess it's hard to be controversial when many contemporary film watchers have never heard of it.
