Famous Movies That Have Been Banned All Over the World

The Departed

Usually, filmmakers tend to tailor their flicks to be observed by a worldwide audience instead of just local Americans. Scorsese didn't care much about that. The Departed was banned in China because it criticized the internal government of China depicting a scenario where Beijing was working with local cops to purchase "advanced military computer hardware." This movie didn't make it far overseas, but it's considered to be an American classic.
