9. Battleship Potemkin
A once-groundbreaking movie that told the rousing tale of revolutionaries crushing their oppressors and taking freedom for themselves. Released in 1925, it’s considered a classic now-but was banned in France for eight years. The reason? There was widespread fear that the scenes in the movie might inspire a similar revolution in France. By the thirties, the film was allowed on the continent and everyone managed to stamp down any revolutionary feeling, so no harm done.
