The Monty Python films.
They recently tried to censor the Loretta scene.
This was actually a big factor for me in "leaving the 'Left'" - i.e. remembering back when it was the religious establishment trying to censor the films (and succeeding in many countries). And now it's happening all over again but by the new "woke" establishment and LGBTQIA2S+ movement.
Do you have any more info on that? I know a couple of trans people. They found that scene hilarious. It sounds like the sort of false flag complaint that come out of the far right quite often.
Unlike the right, the left does not aim to be monolithic. There are a variety of views on many topics, and how to fix them. There are idiots across the spectrum though, and all groups need to police them, to some extent.
I'm quite surprised it made you shift to the right. The right have been doing FAR more censorship, and that is backed by the leadership, to the point is being pushed into law.
Who's "they"?

I thought I told you to wash your hands?
Yes!

Joey, have you ever seen a grown man naked?
"Hey, I know you! You're Kareem Abdul Jabar!"
I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
And
I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.
It's not my favourite now, but there was a time in my youth, Ace Ventura is definitely on this list!
I was more of a Dumb & Dumber guy, but ace is a classic.
"Finkle is Einhorn? EINHORN IS FINKLE!"
White Chicks.
White Chicks 2 is coming apparently https://www.techradar247.com/2023/05/17/white-chicks-2-release-date/
Whaaaat, lmao. I am honestly amazed, thanks for the link.
Both of the Ace Ventura films.
Frankly, they don't hold up well. 😭
Parody movies like scary movie or not another teen movie I really miss.
A over the top parody of the superhero genre would be great right now or a new star wars/star trek/sci-fi parody.
It makes me feel old calling these older movies but male driven sex comedies like American Pie or Superbad seem to be extinct. The closest that comes out today are gender flip versions like Booksmart. I understand the need for a fresh take and the desire to avoid certain questionable aspects of the genre but it feels like there should still be a place for dude centric raunchy comedies.
Most of the Connery bond movies.
Blazing Saddles.
This. While it’s not my favorite movie all time, it’s definitely my favorite one that can never be remade!!
Waterloo (1970). That many extras required the collaboration with the soviet army, as well as bulldozing a big area to film.
We can see the difference very clearly with the new Napoleon trailer, which despite the huge budget looks outright poor in battles.
Team America. While I’m not offended by any of it, something tells me a lot of folks would be (and it wouldn’t even be over the puppet sex).
It’s a fucking masterpiece!
Blazing Saddles
We need more movies with the soul of Blazing Saddles, though
Permanently Deleted
I love that film. Definitely can't make that one these days, even if it is satire.
The Jerk
I was born a poor black child 🫥
That movie is actually surprisingly progressive if people got their head of their ass. It's ok to make fun and laugh if the overarching message is positive. That's the best kind of comedy
“When I was a kid, my mom told me THAT was my special purpose”
This is all I need!
not a fav but, "meet the feebles"
You just blew my mind. I have seen that one more than a few times, but haven't thought about it in years.
Wobert was so adorable in that.
I like bringing this classic up whenever I come across a doe-eyed fan of the recent Hobbit movies. 🤣🤘🏼
Kentucky Fried Movie
Fitzcarraldo
Welcome to the Doll House
I was kinda surprised that it got made at the time..
Kids too
The Young Girls of Rochefort. At least one lead is dead and Catherine Deneuve is almost 80.
I'd say any of the Pauly Shore movies.
The Major and The Minor
The Super with Joe pesci
"Who you calling buckwheat you fat fuck?"
The first one that comes to mind is Revenge of the Nerds. (minus the rape scene)
Any movie where the leading actors, director, or other key people are dead (though deepfakes are removing some of this restriction).
