Original 1974 version.

This presentation of the book is very similar to the official iCM-list version. The main difference (and basically the only difference) is that this version include an additional 22 entries (examples of non-subversive films) which the official list version excludes (also, the order of the entries is slightly different). In other words, this list includes ALL films mentioned regardless if they are subversive or not. However, some films (or "entries" to be more precise) are not on IMDb yet, or appear in the book with unidentifiable stills (see bottom of list description).

Films are sorted by the order they appear in the book.

In some cases, the same film is discussed several times in different sections throughout the book (Blowup, 2001: A Space Odyssey, L'âge d'or, W.R. etc. They are listed here by their FIRST appearance in the book regardless if the film is discussed more thoroughly at a later stage in the book.
