"What is controversial, in terms of cinema? The easy answer would entail films that have been banned from their country of origin, or even other countries. The ones that had their directors ostracized would be another, as would the ones that challenge "normality," breaking taboos in the process. The latter could be considered controversial because no "normal" spectator would consider their quality, probable offended by the spectacle offered.
Films that present history in a way one of the sides involved considers false is another, as are the films that present society in a fashion no one wants to see. All of the following films fall under one of these categories, in yet another list that could have many more entries, particularly since each country has banned a number of different films."
