Films that would not be made now

[Samcro]

I know it’s a topic that has been done before.
but what film do you think would not be made now and why?
mine is, every which way but loose.
yep the Clint Eastwood film with the orangutan

The Wedding Singer

Wil

Shallow Hal

Blazing Saddles.Made sorts by a Jew, Mel Brooks, but takes the piss out of all sorts of prejudice.

Ironically, it's films that poke fun at racism, sexism etc that wouldn't be allowed today,

Big! The bit where the woman is essentially seducing a child makes me feel so uncomfortable

I recently introduced my DD to Bugsy Malone, and thought as I watched a 12 year old Jodie Foster gyrate against a wall while singing flirtatiously that it definitely wouldn't get made these days.

Hairspray - the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice, negros and coloureds? Just no!

Loretta.

In the mornings where I live they have reruns of Bonanza & Gunsmoke and they have a warning ahead of time saying “you might be offended by these old depictions.” Or something like that.
And wow they are offensive, not just of the Native Americans, but of the western culture too. Every single person on them is a stereotype. And white people in bad makeup play the Native Americans — it’s bad. Comically bad.

Taxi driver and Blue Lagoon- wouldn't be made now with under age actresses!

The dark crystal and NeverEnding Story wouldn't be children's films now! As young kids in the 80's, we watched them over and over, but having seen them again recently- there are some really creepy/scary scenes going on! 😬

An American in Paris.
That felt uncomfortable to watch as an adult. The soundtrack is just gorgeous but the way the main character pursued that poor lass was just not on.

Superbad
Overall it's hilarious but many parts of it have aged badly, the disgust around periods made me cringe
Also, American Pie

Not so much creepy, but Artax’s death has haunted me ever since I first watched TNES aged about 5!

Pretty baby and blue lagoon. I haven't watched either but I watched a documentary with Brooke Sheilds talking about them recently and they both sound disgusting.

Why?

Hahahahhahahahah that’s the funniest nonsense I’ve read in a long time!

Yes to Pretty Woman. I'm watching it now.

Simple Jack

This!!
It seems to still be a classic as we grew up with it, but it's awful. He hires a much younger prostitute and then they end up together, so gross.
Lolita

Goldfinger-you’d never have a leading woman called Pussy Galore in 2024!

Yul Brynner doing yellow face in The King and I

Pretty much every 1970s sit com.

"Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race. Even before there were large numbers of Negroes on our shores, the scar of racial hatred had already disfigured colonial society. From the sixteenth century forward, blood flowed in battles over racial supremacy. We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade. Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or to feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore all exalt it."

Phew
was worried I would be judged for watching the film.
the orangutan is a better actor than some of the humans
