10 Movies That Were Surprisingly Banned In The US

There are plenty of movies that have been banned across the world, usually because of one or more elements within them that are deemed offensive, but there are some cases in the United States where movies were banned for surprising, and sometimes even silly, reasons. From 1934 to 1968, films released by major studios in the United States were subject to the Motion Picture Production Code, more commonly known as the Hays Code. Under the Code, films were not allowed to depict lustful kissing, nudity or silhouettes of it, ridicule of religion, and so much more, often leading to bans or preventions of release.
