In the 1980s, newly arisen video distribution companies in Britain got the idea to [[StepThreeProfit make a fast buck]] by adapting for VHS cheesy, low-budget and, for the time, rather violent Italian and American horror films of the [[{{Grindhouse}} ilk that would later inspire]] QuentinTarantino and RobertRodriguez. Unfortunately, at the time there was no law that required videocassettes to be classified before being rented and anyone of any age could legally rent any video; so films such as ''CannibalHolocaust'' and ''{{I Spit on Your Grave}}'' could be (and were) [[HarmfulToMinors rented by children as young as 10]].

As time has gone by, films from the list have been resubmitted to the BBFC wherein the ban on them has been lifted albeit with cuts, only for them to resubmitted again wherein they are released completely uncut in the present day. Only a handful of films from the list still remain banned; on account of the fact that nobody has bothered to resubmit them more than anything else. If you are able to find and view these films (most used to be incredibly rare and obscure; what were once considered holy-grails amongst collectors are now widely available in this age of DVD) you will probably be shocked at how tame ''some'' of them are compared to today's standards what with films the likes of ''{{Saw}}'' and ''{{Hostel}}''. In many cases, some films would have been tame even by ''those'' days' standards; often the BBFC would stick films on the list [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch based on the cover art or the title alone]]. The featuring of the word "Cannibal", "Zombie" or anything associated with [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazis]] in the title of a film almost guaranteed inclusion on the list. Other films though, such as ''Cannibal Holocaust'', retain the power to shock and horrify.

Anyway... the 72 films classified as video nasties are as follows below. (Bear in mind that most if not all of them have up to a dozen or so alternate titles; the following are the titles by which they were known specifically in the United Kingdom.)
