The Miller test is the United States Supreme Court's test for determining whether speech or expression can be labelled obscene, in which case it is not protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and can be prohibited.
The Miller test was developed in the 1973 case Miller v. California. It has three parts:


1.) Whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest,

2.) Whether the work depicts/describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable state law,

3.)Whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

What movies have been the subject of controversy over obscenity? Have there been any that could be deemed offensive according to the Miller Test?

Please refrain from silly answers.

I mean hell, if XXX movies can be released, then I can't imagine anything that would fail the Miller test.
