MPAA Reasons - "disturbing violent content"
This list contains movies that, according to the MPAA, contain "disturbing violent content" or at least a variation of it. There's no point for this list really, other than just to showcase what movies have so-called "disturbing violent content"
NOTE: This list will be updated as much as possible. I may turn this into a series of lists where i find movies with a specific reason, but that's only when i have enough time on my hands. Other that that, look through this list if you like.
