13. Viridiana (1961)

Luis Bunuel made the Vatican headline news again with his 1961 banned film Viridiana. Pope Franco gave the order that all copies of the film were to be burned, but past issues gave the Brunuels a jump start on this and the director’s son hid the negatives. The film was not shown in its home country Spain until 1977, and featured a young nun who is nearly raped by her uncle, leading to a series of events that leave her questioning her faith and eventually ending up in an implied incestuous menage a trois.
