banned
  the blocking of a film's release (in a theatre showing or on video) by either the government or an official movie classification board, for political, religious, sexual, or social reasons; see also censorship.
  Examples: director Stanley Kubrick voluntarily banned his own film A Clockwork Orange (1971) in Britain for almost 30 years because of copy-cat violence. And recently, the Academy award-winning film The Tin Drum (1979) was seized and declared obscene by state law in Oklahoma.
