LONDON - Movie lovers have voted Monty Python’s ‘The Life Of Brian’ as the most controversial film of all time.

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.
