9. The Council of Love (1985)

Based on an anti-Catholic satirical play by Oskar Panizza from 1894, Austrian film The Council of Love had a few too many hot-button religious topics to just waltz on by unnoticed. The play, which was banned, was set in the late 1400s and had the Holy Family (Mary, Jesus Christ and God) turn to Satan for advice on ways to punish humans, after becoming upset with the Borgia’s indulgent papacy. It portrayed Mary as a depraved woman, Jesus Christ a foolish individual as His followers continually consumed his flesh and blood, and God as a decrepit old git. The movie was known as Das Liebeskonzil in Austria.
