[edit] Film censorship
Maybe someone could add that the last film to get censored was Casino in 1995. http://www.dn.se/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1058&a=684082 (Swedish)
I had removed a few inaccuracies which Isarig restored. This is the fragment:
"Some movies have been banned entirely and are not available for viewing. The list of the films banned includes Nosferatu (banned for excessive horror), Mad Max, Martin Scorsese's Casino and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation[1]."
Of all these movies, only Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Madmax from 1979 seems to have been banned, which is also where the source leads to. The other movies are not banned! Casino is not banned! It is The Casino from 1972 which is banned. See here. Nosferatu is not banned. Moreover, I will say that the movies are released on DVD and in the past, they were released on VHS. Anyway, all of this is ridiculous, much like the whole of Sweden's moral perspective on things and their stupid laws. Luckly, I've moved to Denmark, a country inhabited by humans, for humans. --Thus Spake Anittas 16:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
- According to this, Nosferatu was banned as well. If it is the wrong Casino movie which is linked, feel free to correct it. Isarig 19:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps the decission was overturned, because according to their official site, the movie is not banned. As for Casino, it should be removed altogether, because the one that is banned is just some B-movie that no-one would know about. Here is the complete list on IMDB, but I don't know how accurate it may be. --Thus Spake Anittas 19:46, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
- Could you provide a link to the Nosferatu offical site? I'll reove the Casino entry, because that does not appear to be sourced. Isarig 19:59, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
- Not Nosferatu's official site, but Statens Biografbirå's official site. They are the idiots that decide these things. The page is located here. Notice that it says that it has an age limit set at 15, compared to the Texas Massacre where it says that it's förbjuden. --Thus Spake Anittas 20:06, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
- Ah yes - but this is for the 1979 Remake, not the 1922 original. Isarig 20:27, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
- Hmmm, well, strange that the original one is not included. --Thus Spake Anittas 21:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

The movie censorship is for moves showed in cinemas. There is no censorship (apars from things like pedophilia, bastiality and such) for home videos. // Liftarn
- Yep, I'm aware of that, but still. They should mind their own business and only censor such things as the ones you have mentioned above. In my opinion, Sweden is a conservative-feminist society. That will also be its downfall, unless those leftie girls are removed from power. --Thus Spake Anittas 21:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
