Is there a "banned book" list for movies? (lemmy.world)

I know banned book lists are often enforced at the state level through public schools and movies aren't really a part of common curriculum, but is there a good list anywhere of films that the government might try to...say...remove from streaming?

Apparently imdb has a list https://www.imdb.com/list/ls047725125/

This looks like a list of snuff films, heh.

And then family-friendly movies like The Mask and E.T.

Wikipedia has a big list of movie that have been banned.

Heh, the US is notably absent on this list as we haven't blocked any films from a legal standpoint, and many of them are banned in other countries due to local politics that don't apply to us. I guess I'm wondering what movies have similar political controversies in the US.
