Reviewing the Video Nasties

The Video Nasty Project is reviewing every Video Nasty, the colloquial appellation given to 73 horror films banned by the UK government in 1984 under the Video Recordings Act "in response to a media orchestrated moral panic." [via] FWIW, many of these films can be seen in whole or in part online, e.g., this five minute clip from 'The Beast in Heat', and these clips from 'The Driller Killer'.

I myself am on a mission to view the Video Nasty titles, but I may be short some 15 or so films (still can't find any of the others on Netflix or no way of getting VHS copies). Hopefully, I can help with this too.
