most extreme films are usually crappy and not a good watch so im not bothered either way

So if the choice is between meaningless guidelines (likely to 'deprave and corrupt') and a checklist of forbidden topics drawn up by moralising godbotherers ... give me meaningless every time.
Because although a meaningless standard can be made to mean anything, it can also be made to not mean what the godbotherers want.

@kieralinn should be "Don't blame the movies. Movies don't make psychos.... horrific childhoods do..."
-
Because they banned 'Human Centipede 2' i went out of my way to watch it. If it was just released normally i wouldn't have bothered and saved myself that horrific ordeal. (of course they joke on me was it was the passed censored version)

@kieralinn Frankly never seen Scream, but it's a funny line nonetheless.

@Bassbait "Don't blame the movies. Movies don't create psychos, movies just make pyschos more creative!" I love that line in Scream.

@danthemango Problem is, corruption starts before birth, and ends right before the viewing of the "morally bad" movie. The morally corrupt and the unstable are corrupted from the moment they start to form to the moment they start watching morally corrupt movies. You aren't morally corrupted by the bad movies, you SEE the bad movies because you're ALREADY morally corrupt. I'm not saying watching The Evil Dead makes you morally corrupt, but morally corrupt people who see it were corrupt already.

I think it's stupid for anyone to think that any piece of work can be 'corrupting', or if it exists that anyone has the authority to censor it.
The only effective thing we can do is to talk of appropriate audience, to ensure that your 4 year old doesn't walk into a screening of Enter the Void. But that's about it. Every piece of work has the right to find an audience.

the only film that should be banned is bad boys 2
The daily mail are a bunch of scare mongering cunts.

anti christ doesnt strike me as my cup of tea, but i don't see why it should be banned thats just retarded, if you don't like something don't watch it, don't force your tastes on others.
