London, July 10 (ANI): Movie lovers have voted Monty Python’s ‘The Life Of Brian’ as the most controversial film of all time.

The spoof about Jesus, released in 1979, had been banned in Norway, Ireland, and some UK towns.

The film defeated ultra-violent ‘A Clockwork Orange’ to grab the top spot in a poll by rental service Lovefilm.

“The success of films like Life Of Brian proves that scandal sells,” the Mirror quoted spokeswoman Fliss White as saying.

Wes Craven’s ‘The Last House on the Left’ was placed at the third spot in the poll.

Rounding off at the fourth and fifth place were the ‘The War Game’ and ‘Pink Flamingos’, respectively.

The most controversial films of all time are:

1. The Life of Brian

2. A Clockwork Orange

3. The Last House on the Left

4. The War Game

5. Pink Flamingos (ANI)
