Claws- I think you would enjoy PATHS OF GLORY. It's early Kubrick. And devastating. A fantastic film.

18 for me.
I read somewhere that Paths of Glory is still banned in France. :question:

Only until 1975.
Any film beyond child porn or snuff films should never be banned-that's evil.
Freedom of expression is not a " God given right".
It's just something that people are going to do-and will be debated- but to ban things does not help. You can't erase history and pretend it didn't happen because it doesn't fit your sensibility. It's still there.
This "ban" s**t should not extend into art.
all of them
I think the 400 Blows is a little high
All of them except Rashmon, and offhand I couldn't tell you what that's about..

Every time someone describes it, the plot seems a little bit different.
