The Matrix

The Matrix

The movie that spawned a thousand crappy online pseudonyms for nerds, the leather-trenchcoat-a-thon of the late nineties we know as The Matrix is one of the more surprising entries on this list. It was banned in a number of countries after it was deemed too sensitive to air a movie that so wantonly screwed around with the concept of man’s maker. Egypt was the country most vehemently opposed to the Wachowski duo’s slow motion masterpiece, stating that, “Despite the high technology and fabulous effects of the movie, it explicitly handles the issue of existence and creation, which are related to the three divine religions, which we all respect and believe in.”
