15. Triumph of the Will (1935) -Documentary on the 1934 Nazi rally in Nuremberg. Anything where Hitler comes of well is obviously going to piss people off (and rightfully so).
14. The Warriors (1979) - This film about gangs and gang warfare was accused of encouraging violence in the youth. TV and print advertising were pulled for a while. It seems positively tame when viewed with today's standards.
13. The Da Vinci Code (2006) - Yeah, some people were mad about the religious angle, but by no means were protestors marching in the streets. These lists always have to include a few movies from the last year or two. Or maybe people were just angered by Tom Hanks' wig.
12. The Deer Hunter (1978) - Sparked controversy over its depiction of American POWs forced to play Russian Roulette by their Vietcong captors.
11. The Message (1977) - A story about the origins of Islam, this was another movie that got the international Arab community hopping mad. Acts of terrorism followed, and over 100 people were held captive for a time.
10. Baby Doll (1956) - One man sets out to seduce another man's young, still-virgin, wife. A Catholic priest labeled the movie "lewd," and it was pulled from some theaters (although it went on to receive 4 Oscar nominations).
