For those looking for particular movies, I include here a handy alphabetical list. This includes the famous “banned 72” plus others that stirred up controversy. I’ve also included (aren’t I nice) years and directors and alternate titles.
DPP1 – Part of the original “Banned 72” – Personal Prosecutions – Prosecuted
DPP2 – Part of the original “Banned 72” – Prosecution by forfeit of material – Non Prosecuted
DPP3 – Liable to seizure and confiscation under a “less obscene” charge
BBFC BANNED – No public video release but not an official “nasty”
SEIZED – Removed by police but not an official “nasty”
A more detailed explanation about the differences between the Department Of Public Prosecution (DPP) lists and whatnot you can find here!
Plus, each linked to reviews as and when they appear! Enjoy…
