What about The Message starring Anthony Quinn as the uncle of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)? This was the only movie about the Prophet that had its script approved by the pre-eminent school of Muslim thought, Al-Azhar in Egypt? You can read more about the movie here.
I think that the Golden Compass should be up there too. It is one of the newest most controversial movies. I've heard so much bad about it but I don't know what to believe.
One of my old time favorites, Rosemary's Baby with Ma Farrow.
Life of Brian should be on the list. The movie was banned in some countries and decried as blasphemous. It still inspires strong feelings today.
A Clockwork Orange.
Period.
It's a wonder why it's an R and not NC-17.
