One of two more:
Peeping Tom (1960) - This film destroyed Michael Powell's career, but it's mix of warped sexuality, lustmord and intimations of child abuse totally blew away the staid English horror format. Notable that this came out in the same year as "Psycho".
The War Game (1965) - A docu-drama so hard hitting that the UK Government (via the BBC) had it suppresed for years. Seeing the state go insane with violence would have caused a huge uproar in a country where deference was still pretty much the order of the day.
