Specifically "Some like it hot" and one part of "Crocodile Dundee". Both on this week.

Flash Gordon has been cancelled! For having "outdated attitudes, language and cultural depictions which may cause offence today"

Flash!

Gordon's ALIVE!!!

I love Some Like it Hot which was, and always will be, a masterpiece. But remember that, even then, it was placed outside of the period it was created, by making it in black and white.
I give you Blazing Saddles. Another masterpiece.
Or, another favourite, Pillow Talk.

Is Pillow Talk the one with the "You are my inspiration [insert name of current girl here]" song?

@winowin ahh I was trying to think of that title when posting up thread. It's a great film .

Came on to say Tootsie. The Dustin Hoffman speech to Jessica Lange, in which he apologises for deceiving her, would be taken as a ‘coming out as trans’ speech by some of the TRAs these days.

CaveMum · 11/12/2023 21:09

Mrs Doubtfire - I’ve seen TRA comments that it’s transphobic due to the way the son reacts to seeing MrsD pee standing up 🤣

Tootsie
9 to 5

I love Flash Gordon, it has Brian Blessed, amazing outfits and Timothy Dalton in very tight trousers.

Three things I could watch all day.

NoCloudsAllowed · 11/12/2023 20:59

I mean, all of the things from the past are dated, that's how history works

I watched Bridget Jones for the first time the other day, as well as the sexist twaddle there are a few 'i accidentally shagged a transwoman' moments that you're supposed to find hilarious. And the gay friend character is hackneyed and paper thin. Kind of glad they don't make them like that now tbh, you'd feel awful watching it if you were gay or trans.

I’m sure if Pricilla Queen Of The Desert is ever remade it’ll only be with trans actors - I mean heterosexual men pretending to be drag queens and a TW how dare they 😱

CaveMum · 11/12/2023 20:23

Blazing Saddles is a masterpiece (par for the course with Mel Brooks though). My dad once got Gene Wilder to wish me happy birthday by emailing in when he was on Simon Mayo’s Radio 5 show years ago. I nearly died of happiness!

Anytime someone mentions badges (particularly pronoun ones 😜) I have to bite my tongue to stop myself declaring: “Badges! We don’t need no stinking badges!”

Agree that The Goonies wouldn’t get made now - I was very flustered when Cory Feldman was telling the Spanish lady about the sex dungeon in Mikey’s basement - definitely didn’t recall that from my childhood!

Of more recent films, you’d never get away with the likes of American Pie these days!

How about It’s a Wonderful Life? In the alternate universe where James Stewart had never lived, his wife had become - shock! - a spinster librarian!

It wrecked her eyesight as well.

MrsR87 · 11/12/2023 20:13

All of the Carry On films! I love them
but they definitely wouldn’t be made today!

Ingenieur · 11/12/2023 20:11

Ace Ventura is still worth a watch.

Finkle is Einhorn!

As it's Christmas I give you Miracle on 34th Street. It would be literal murder for anyone to question the identity of the man known as Santa Claus, wouldn't it - or is it only gender identities that cant be questioned? .

I watched 'Naked Gun' on the TV recently and they cut the "nice beaver" *. Such a harmless joke and I'm sure young people encounter far worse now.

Is this a serious post? The Aristocats comes with a warning??

Show quote history

So does Peter Pan.

Sausagenbacon · 11/12/2023 19:13

Is that a ref to A Woman's Touch?

ResisterRex · 11/12/2023 19:04

Sausagenbacon · 11/12/2023 19:03

Calamity Jane.
Another favourite.
