What movie do you love which would never be made today?

Fast Times at Ridgemont High - the abortion scene.

I hated the sexism of the MPAA for the sex scene. Jennifer Jason Leigh was laying their naked but they threatened an X because in the first cut, you could see the actor’s P@nis.

Why couldn’t this be made today?

Because it plays things for laughs that would never fly today - the “tard,” the pedophile, the gay brother, the “may-hee-can workers” etc.

“The -ards pants are completely off.” “Shut up, you stupid little r-“ - and that one was said in a stereotyped Asian accent, mocking the anorexic gal… no way could they make that today. Such a good movie though.

“To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar” has parts that would not allow it to get made as is and are rather shocking to watch now. Given the festering intolerance in the GOP, they’d hate the movie’s overall message of love and acceptance.

There's also a mass shooting played for laughs.

Man, I used to love this movie! The music was in this movie was perfect. This scene would get me every time, as soon as "Just Once" started playing I'd tear up. I could feel his heartbreak. lol I was 12 when it came out but I think it was a few years after when I first saw it.

I was just talking about this with my buddies this weekend. Is the line you're talking about the one where Tanner says "Jews, ****s, ******s, and now a girl!?"

I agree the movie would never get made today. And when you get down to it, it has a really progressive message! A bunch of kids excluded because of their race, gender, socioeconomic status, and athletic ability band together and take down the athletic white boys. In part because the dad, steeped in all kinds of toxic masculinity,* completely alienates his son!

(*They wouldn't have used that phrase, of course. But that's basically what was going on.)

This was a mistake. I posted Birth of a Nation to mock Gone with the Wind. But, re-reading the topic title it says "which movie do you love?" And I do not love Birth of a Nation!

Why couldn’t this get made again? I don’t recall anyone making fun of transgender people or people who cross dress but identify as heterosexual. He was a dad who happened to dress up as a woman to go undercover to be close with his kids.

Why not? Because Dolly Parton’s character hunts down Mr. Hart with a shotgun?

I love that movie.
