According to Video Nasties:Moral Panic, Censorship....when the Uk police raided video stores-they had no idea what films were actually on the list so they would confiscate and put out of business sellers who had things like "The Last Little Whorehouse In Texas" an anodyne Dolly Parton flick on their shelves. I think it was more of a case of the authorities not liking independant business owners and distributors making so much money.
Anyway my faves on the list:
The Beyond
House By The Cemetary
Dead and Buried
Possession
The New York Ripper
Inferno
Tenebrae
The House On The Edge Of The Park
Nightmares In A Damaged Brain
The Funhouse (I think at the beginning when the teens were smoking pot while driving was what upset the censors as well as it being a Tobe Hooper film as already mentioned)
Death Trap
Evil Dead
The Hills Have Eyes
Exploitation:
Salo
Last House On Dead End Street
Ilsa:She Wolf Of The SS (thanks ferox for the info on the sequals me and mate are gonna watch them back to back soon)
The Devils (I know there;s more to it than exploitation)
The Killer Nun (also a video nasty)
