Famous Movies That Have Been Banned All Over the World

The Passion of Brian

For those who don't know, Brian was born in Bethlehem on Christmas day in a stable right next door to Jesus Christ. He goes through his entire life being mistaken for Jesus in an extremely nuanced way that was lightyears ahead of its time for 1979. The Life of Brian got banned in Norway, but they ended up using that in their favor by promoting the movie with posters that said: "So funny, it was banned in Norway!"
