What I'm Reading Now: Obscene, Indecent, Immoral and Offensive: 100+ Years of Censored, Banned and Controversial Films

"Since their inception, motion pictures and their content have been at the center of countless legal, political, social , moral and religious battles between the people who make them (filmmakers, studios), those they are made for (the audience), and the institutions (local and state censorship boards, the Roman Catholic Church, etc.), who believe it is their God-given right to determine what movies can and cannot say and show."

- author Stephen Tropiano, from the preface (page viii) of Obscene, Indecent, Immoral and Offensive: 100+ Years of Censored, Banned, and Controversial Films (Limelight Editions, 2009)
