Here we present the list of 75 movies that were wanted by the DPP on the grounds that their content was most likely to 'deprave and corrupt'.  The number of films on the list varied, sometimes reaching as many as 83 and other times being as low as 50.  There were other films that did not make the list, but were singled out as titles for rental stores to avoid, just in case, including Basket Case, The Thing, Videodrome, Maniac, Friday the 13th and The Hills Have Eyes.

All those marked with the asterisk are the 39 films that were finally prosecuted and banned.  Most, if not all of these films are known under a variety of different titles, varying from their original language titles, foreign release title and the title given to a cut print.  A case in point would be the 13 alternatives for The Living Dead At Manchester Morgue and the 10 for Zombie Creeping Flesh.  So if you have read the list and question why the notorious movie The Grim Reaper has not been included, don't worry, it's listed under the title The Anthropophagous Beast.

At last count, 47 of the original DPP list were available in uncut forms on DVD and at least 8 are still banned in the UK.  Most of the DVD releases are Region 1 USA or worldwide Region 0, meaning that UK fans still have to import copies of these movies.  But at least they now get a good picture, decent sound and usually a healthy array of extra's, a far cry from the fuzzy, 10th generation, spliced together, uncut print of The Beyond that was once the only way to see it!
