Perhaps the two most bizarre ones of the bunch are L'Age d'Or and
Un Chien Andalou. Both were made in collaboration with Salvador Dali
and it will take no more than a few minutes to realise why they were
banned when they first came out (1930 and 1928, respectively).
Everyone should at these two at least once in their life.
