censored films

Cut for content

Censored films are movies that have had content removed, altered, or suppressed by authorities, studios, or distributors.

Censorship may target violence, sexuality, political content, or religious material deemed inappropriate or dangerous.

Films can be censored before release, after initial screening, or banned outright.

Some censored films circulate in multiple versions: The theatrical cut differs significantly from the director's cut.

Historically, censorship boards like the Hays Office shaped Hollywood output for decades.
