1. The Director Of A Rolling Stones Documentary Must Be Present At Every Screening
If we're talking about disagreeable movie titles, then none is as pervasive as Robert Frank's ludicrously titled "C**ksucker Blues", a title that, as a dare, I actually managed to shoehorn into one of my University film exam papers. The 93-minute documentary follows The Rolling Stones during their 1972 tour, with Frank offering several cameras to members of the Stones' entourage to start filming the band whenever they so pleased. The result was a deeply debauched, hedonistic portrayal of the band, hoofing drugs and partying with groupies, which the Stones then sought to have banned on the grounds that it humiliated and embarrassed them, which Frank strongly argued against. Eventually, the unconventional ruling was that the film could only be shown if the director was present, and that he should not be allowed to exhibit it more than once per year. Naturally, bootleg copies are available online, so Frank's controversial doc lives on through a new delivery system despite the idiotic judgement.
