This filmography created by media librarian Gary Handman has many titles that are also available in the AU collection. It’s fun to browse through as it’s loaded with notes on where and why a film was banned.

Credits and other information from the Internet Movie Database
Banned in Phoenix, Arizona, 1973, because of a scene featuring Cybill Shepherd skinnydipping. A federal court later ruled that the film was not obscene.
It’s also got a section on landmark films that received X or NC-17 ratings upon their initial release and citations of landmark film censorship cases.
NOTE: The list isn’t comprehensive but covers film/videos that are held in the U Cal – Berkeley Library’s Media Resources Center. It is still very extensive and should serve as a useful researchers guide for general users.
