I’m surprised by how long the list is; I thought it was much rarer and more exceptional. The only time I’d heard of them rejecting a film was when it showed unsimulated animal cruelty, but I guess there must be other reasons.

Huh, thanks for that. I had heard about requesting cuts now you mention it. (And this is also done to target a rating, if they want to get a 12A but as-is it's a 15 for example.) I wonder if the ones never released are just because they didn't want to cut enough, preferring to abandon the project though. > The only time I’d heard of them rejecting a film was when it showed unsimulated animal cruelty, but I guess there must be other reasons. Porn, or rather it somehow going too far, seems to be a big one based on a lot of the titles there.

  Some films are so grim that if they cut out all the unacceptable stuff there’d be no film left worth seeing. Porn gets an R18 rating - provided it’s not dangerous, violent, illegal or obscene - and can shown at specially licensed sex cinemas.
