Well, I saw The Exorcist back in "the day" when it came out. There was a lot of publicity about people puking and passing out and stuff- but who knows how much of that was planted is anyone's guess. It was a good scary movie, but nobody at the theatres I saw it at (I saw it twice) passed out, ran out screaming, puked or anything like that. There were screams!
There were other films at the time I would have considered more controversial and pushing more boundaries- such as Andy Warhol/Paul Morrisey films and early John Waters.
