Finally saw Caligula, the full uncut version. There were lots of things to admire about it, but the orgy scenes did get rather repetitive.

I saw it many years ago but have no idea if I saw a cut or uncut version. Is it the orgy scenes that were cut?

I really don't know why films like The Evil Dead , Visiting Hours and Night School made this list? Did the British Board of Film Censorship even watch these films? I can understand why some of these films would be considered offensive to some people, but a lot of the these movies are pretty tame!

um..... wtf?!?!!? i have got to find this list. the british board of film censorship is probably a board of religious extremist that only does missionary and would rather watch rated G movies 24/7 365. i have nothing against religion since i believe in God, but as i say you can believe in God but don't get crazy with it.

Acquaint yourself with some history before you start throwing out rediculous sweeping generalizations.

sorry. when it comes to censorship and shit like that i get angry. that's why i hate seeing people use the little stars when they are typing a cuss word. or blurring of a nude body part.

You need to get a sense of perspective. The list was compiled 30 years ago, and many of the films originally banned have been released in the UK either with slight cuts, or even without and cuts at all.
