Sometimes A Great Notion and Slapshot get my vote.

"Wet Hot American Summer". Came out in 2001. A summer camp movie send up (a la Meatballs). This movie, like what 'Dazed and Confused' did to the mid seventies and high school, does to 1981 and sleepaway summer camps. Over the top funny and absurd at times. One of the funniest un-PC scenes I have ever scene -- think two male counselors... The hyper-PC Janeane Garafalo is actually in this, but despite that, the film is not affected.

A movie from the mid 80s called the "Whoopee Boys" starring Paul Rodriguez and Michael "Danny Noonan" O'Keefe also is offensive on many levels and enjoyable if you are in a stupid mood.

Last Saturday I saw the restored version of The Emperor Jones which has to be the most politically incorrect movie of all time. When released in the 30's, its sympathetic portrayal blacks was controversial, and a scene where Paul Robeson kills a sadistic white prison guard and another where a white man lights a cigarette for Robeson as the Emperor Jones were cut for the sake of decorum. In more recent times those scenes were restored, but about 100 occasions where the n-word was used were cut instead as notions of political correctness had swung around 180 degrees.

The Library of Congress film preservation program, which has taken over part of the old Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, laboriously restored the 1933 film to it's original state. It will be shown for a second time on September 7 at the East Wing of National Gallery of Art. The screening is free, but you couldn't buy a ticket to a better movie for any price.

Independance Day - saw it in a theater when it was first released.

That was the only time I had ever seen an audience clap and cheer during a movie - it was during the scene where the aliens blew up the white house - it was quite an experience!

"Independence Day" -- Yeah America! Yeah Military!

ID4 was a great mid-90's movie: The military rocked, everyone rallied around us to win, and the First Lady died.

Heh.

[patriciaruth]

I disagree on Patriot. There was plenty of P.C. in that movie, enough to make me totally disappointed in the movie.

For starters, having a teenage GIRL bawl out a bunch of MEN for not having guts, and the black commune, and the movie's embarrassment at having to show the flag at all. It started good and then became putrid.

[Oztrich Boy]

anything by Mel Brooks, really, ....

Gonna have to exclude the Brooks PC version of To Be or Not To Be

Some movies should never be remade, and the absolutely perfect Lubitsch off-black 1942 comedy was one of them.

LOL, Saddam just hasn't been the same since he broke up with Satan.

[patriciaruth]

Sounds like most of this crowd's idea of non-P.C. is actually anti-establishment humor, etc. Liberals LIKE anti-establishment humor, but most of the comedies touted here are not non-P.C.

If you want to watch a vintage anti-establishment humor film (meaning anti-church, anti-rules and anti-law and order) then one of the best was Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon's Harold and Maude.

ID4 was a great mid-90's movie: The military rocked, everyone rallied around us to win, and the First Lady died.

Mars Attacks was even better, the Martians wiped out Congress and the President. Then were defeated by Slim Whitman.

Lest we forget:

"Scuse me while I whip this out..."

"Yo, where the white women at..."

"Hello boys, ya miss me?"

"Stick out your tush... give it a push..."

Ah... those were the days...

[Drango]

The Postman with (Ughhhhh) Kevin Costner.

PCU : Excellent little comedy trashing PC ways.

[Camber-G]

Thanks ...

A little gratuitous blood and violence never hurt anyone.
At least it never warped me ... really ... I'm perfectly normal ... I swear.
LOL.

"We Were Soldiers is good"

I don't know. They made the NVA try to seem a bit too noble.

What folks didn't realize (the peace trash), was that the North didn't want union with the South. They wanted to exterminate them.

Guess that's why, when we pulled out, the North didn't just conquer the South. They punished them.

Joan Baez & co then were saying we needed to get back over there to help the South.

Like any president in his right mind would do that.

Morons.

(Quick: what movie's this out of?) "Did I say you were stupid? I meant to say, 'You're a total freakin' retard!'"

[Camber-G]

Hey RepoGirl ... I also nominate "REPO MAN" as a great movie !

Regards ...

I think another great Heston Un-PC movie was the 1953 "Arrowhead" with Jack Palance, Katy Jurado & Brian Keith. In it Palance plays Heston's Apache blood brother, who returns from the Carlisle Indian School, and Heston treats him as an enemy. Heston is shown as apparently a virulent racist. Everybody else shuns Heston, and welcomes Palance back to Arizona. At the end it turns out that Heston was right, and Palance tries to wipe out all of the white men. The moral was essentially that a barbaric people would have to be crushed entirely, and not trusted until they had been crushed. You could never make this today.

Lord of the Rings

Wait till Return of the King comes out in 1.5 years. If they play it straight from the book, all of the Men fighting on Sauron's side will range from "swarthy" to black. The good guys will all be blond Nordic types.

I watched the DVD recently and noticed that all of the main characters have blue eyes. (I think.)

Actually any Parker/Stone flick will do:
Baseketball
Orgasmo
Cannibal: The Movie
