Freaks (1932)

This Tod Browning classic is probably the most banned and divisive film out there, due to the performers. For a film about carnival sideshow freaks, they actually used real performers and actors with deformities to portray their characters. On top of that, the film is genuinely disturbing, when the freaks go after a beautiful trapeze artist who wrongs their leader; Hans. This film was banned in the UK for 30 years and wasn’t available there until the early 1990’s. Even in the rare film market here in the US and Canada, it’s a hard film to find.
