Peter Jackson's Bad Taste and Dead Alive. They'd both be rated PG today.

The old Dracula movie. I watched it again recently and was seriouly disappointed how it was done. They didn't even do the staking good. They could have had a shot when he puts the stake on Dracula's chest and then switched to a shot lower then the coffin and shown him hitting the top of the stake (into Drac).

Pretty much most movies made during the Hayes years.

The fine 2002 Australian film "The Tracker" starring David Gulpilil (of Rabbit-Proof Fence and Walkabout) cuts to still paintings depicting violent moments, such as a massacre.

Scarface, specifically the chainsaw scene, which was barely offscreen.

Star Wars, when Alderaan becomes one with the Force. We don't see those "millions of voices" that Obi-Wan speaks about...

Seems really violent but it's all due to the excellent editing, you barely see anything compared to today.

The scene's shock value comes from
Spoiler:
the audience thinking Blonde is about to burn the cop. He is standing there with a lighter when all of a sudden squibs start going off and THEN it cuts to Orange with the gun.

I have to admit that I haven't seen this film, but I have read that alot of the violence in Cat People (1942) occurs offscreen.
