FilmFour's "Banned" (registration required) is an interesting, thoughtful look at film censorship by example. FYI, with "Trainspotting", "the BBFC passed this uncut for cinema with an 18 certificate. However they demanded a 14 second cut for the video release. The scene at issue is at 44 minutes where a heroin user's needle pierces the skin of his arm." Watching a woman's spleen being repaired last night was much more disturbing than that.
