BBFC Report 1

This first BBFC report, which will detail classification decisions on most theatrical and selected DVD and Blu-Ray releases, will be longer than those that will follow. In future I’ll publish this article every other Wednesday. I’ll note any cuts, and provide a link to the BBFC’s cut details where appropriate. I won’t be reporting on R-18 films, because this blog doesn’t deal with porn.

Within each certificate films are listed alphabetically by title
