The title of this thread had me in stitches. I thought you were looking for a ban, dude.

....For our friends outside the UK.... in the 80s we had a media-driven campaign against violent films which led to the Director Of Public Prosecutions (DPP) outlawing certain Videos (Just like the Senate hearings in the 50s were spurred on by Dr Frederick Wertham and led to a ban on certain comics and imposed the Comics Code on comics) and meaning that stores that stocked those videos were likely to have them seized in police raids. Previous to that it was like videos being released unrated. After that every video had to be passed by The British Board Of Film Censors before release. Also note...many of the films on that list had different titles in different coutries. Back to the question....That's a tough one. There are some on there that i like for various reasons...Blood Rites, Cannibal Holocauset, Tenebrae, Zombie Flesh Eaters and some are just lame and suck mightily....Night Of The Demon, Forest Of Fear. I would probably pick Zombie Flesh Eaters...

[MinionZombie]

Some favourites: Last House on the Left The Evil Dead Zombie Flesh Eaters (Zombi 2) Texas Chainsaw Massacre Cannibal Holocaust Maniac There's some off the top of my head, but I might go with "The Evil Dead" as my all-time video nasty, which in fact was Mary Whitehouse's #1 video nasty - but for entirely different reasons (or perhaps the exact same reasons) but with an ENTIRELY OPPOSITE opinion of it. I love that movie.

[horrormad]

Dear MinionZombie: Mary Whitehouse didnt even watch these nasties but was trying to ban them that makes no sense the woman was crazy. She thought it was ok to send people to war but wanted to ban films that she had never seen. She actually said in a interview I have never seen a video nasty in my life.

nothing beats my copied dvd copy of the evil dead.

[Bub666]

My favorite video nasty has to be Evil Dead.That is one of the greatest movies ever.

[SRP76]

None. They suck. Most of the things on that list are over-the-top stupid. I watched Evil Dead 20 years ago, when people were raving about how awesome it was. I was far from impressed. Last House on the Left is radically overrated. My grandparents yapped on about how "horrible and scary" it was, and then I watched it, and thought, "hey, this movie sucks". I did think Xtro was pretty decent; when I was 10 years old, that is. If I watched it now, I'd probably groan and laugh at it.

[horrormad]

Dear SRP76: Yes most of the nasties got dropped out of the DPP39 list to the DPP75 list films such as The Beast in heat,Driller Killer,Snuffare still banned in some countries. most of the video nasties are laughable these days but back in the 80's people that owned these nasties and video shop owners that carried the videos could be charged and maybe jailed because of the violence.

[MinionZombie]

Horrormad - I know Mary Whitehouse never watched any of this stuff, but she did say that Evil Dead was her #1 video nasty - as in her 'worst of the worst', and still hadn't seen it. I did my final Sociology project on the whole video nasty era and the notion that 'movies make you do it', way back when I was in the Sixth Form, when the BBFC had just changed leadership and were finally lightening up. That's what I'm saying. Hence: but for entirely different reasons (or perhaps the exact same reasons) but with an ENTIRELY OPPOSITE opinion of it.

That cleared my main question with regards to this thread's subject
