All In The Family
Sandford and Son (which makes me sad as it is my favorite comedy series of all time)
Although I have enjoyed both over the years there is no denying they were full of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and portrayals of young minority men as criminals mainly played for laughs especially in the case of Sanford and Son.

The Arnold Conan movies and some of those old swords and sorcery movies of the 80's...
Perhaps Big Trouble In Little China...even though I love the movie...

Even Trading Places would have to get changes if they made it today. The movie would get into trouble with a lot of stuff.

Cruel Intentions.
No way they could get away with some of the jokes and comments made in that film today.

I'm glad I already own Blazing Saddles on DVD. The day will come when you won't be able to see an unedited version of it.

Todd Philips kept going on about how you wouldn't be able to make a film like Joker now because of the feminazi PC woke police while he was promoting its cinema release in mass media, so that.

That's ridiculous. The movie is a little over a year old. Feminism and #MeToo was here well before that. I thought the point of the movie was he was a sick, deranged person. not a hero. Originally Posted by Frobisher

In the Heat of the Night. The racism is still there, but not as overt.

The racism is depicted for the purpose of (very effectively) subverting it... but I'm not sure you can still get away with having white actors utter the N-word even in this context. Originally Posted by Kirby101
