What Politically Incorrect movies would you recommend?

What are some of your favorite films that DO NOT pass the P.C. smell test?

Box of Moonlight - a stuffy "by the book" city guy gets stranded in the country with a young, oddball drop-out who detests the rules of society. Loosens him up a bit and he even ends up having some fun with guns. Good movie.

[Cloud William]

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.

Well, okay - I'll agree with that. Fortunately, that's not one of Mel's big successes (there's a lesson there, Mel...). Irreverent humor is nearly impossible to reconcile with political correctness, which is why most of Brooks' films are worth considering.

I've never seen Brooks admit it on camera, but I always suspected that he lost interest in films when the studio bigwigs began telling him: "Mel, you just can't DO that..."

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. ========================================================== I noticed that too (My bet is Mel Brooks is no conservative) - however what this is implying is that America has channged so much in the last 30 years that what was once the "Establishment" position (i.e., pro-religion, pro-descrimination/segregation, etc.) has been completely turned on its head.

A few from the past:
Tarzan - the original
King Kong - the original
Sergant York & High Noon w/Gary Cooper
Ten Commandments, Greatest Story Ever Told & Ben Hur (they would NEVER get made today)
Young Philadelphians w/Paul Newman
Under The Yum Yum Tree
My Fair Lady
Firecreek
Conan the Barbarian
Full Metal Jacket
Lord of the Flies
The Getaway (both versions)
Waterworld
Saving Private Ryan
All the John Wayne Movies (I remember he made a statement I think when he got his academy award that he supported feminism as long as his wife was home to cook dinner.)
Gladiator
All the James Bond movies
All the Clint Eastwood movies
and many more

You're right of course. JUST TRY GETTING A COPY TO SEE.

"Falling Down" and "Pulp Fiction", the later particularly. Hollywood leftists hate Quinton Tarentino to pieces and having Pulp Fiction named as one of the hundred best films of the last hundred years was a massive frakout for them.

[WHATNEXT?]

I hated that movie!!

[lowbridge]

The Little Rascals

[GretchenEE]

Easy one... Birth of a Nation

Huh? If you love the Ku Klux Klan, you love things that are un-PC AND anti-Constitution, which I don't think is the type of recommendation being solicited here. Nor is such fare endorsed by the forum owner on this web site.

[Rudder]

Along that same vein: Blood Simple and Tough Guys Don't Dance.

[Movemout]

If you love Mel Brooks then you have to see his History of the World. It is fall down and roll around funny.

[Knitebane]

Unbreakable.

I saw this in theaters and bought a VHS copy of this movie as soon as it came out. The scene at the breakfast table where Bruce Willis quietly slides the newspaper over to his son, showing him the article about the unknown hero saving the children abducted by a brutal killer is priceless.

How many movie heros are as quiet and self-effacing as that?

The more I watch that movie the more it gets to me.

Thanks for the info! Heston never believed in "small" projects, did he? I'll do a search on this. The revered Charleton is my "President" after GWB, after all...*grin*

[.30Carbine]

My list:
Anything with John Wayne in it.
Anything with Charlton Heston in it.
"Gone with the Wind."

[.30Carbine]

Also:
"Young Guns." The first one. Lotsa guns. Illegal drugs: great scene.
I think it was the last movie Brian Keith was in.
This is the movie that popularized the word 'pugilist'.
Who can't luv Billy the Kid?

"Song Of The South" by Walt Disney. A true, lovable, innocent classic heralding back to the days when a feature movie was truly intended for children and family. Disney's most beloved character, "Uncle Remus" helps a child who idolizes him through a difficult family problem and in the end teaches us the value of friends and the love between a father and son.

NAACP Review - Walt Disney's depiction of the horrors of the post-civil war oppression and suppression of black people. Disney's vision takes place upon the ruins of a plantation where our tortured brothers are compelled to service white devils who keep them bound in conditions no different than when they were slaves. A traitorous rebel, designated "Uncle Remus" chooses to ingratiate himself with his white masters and attempts to gain favor by subjecting himself to the whims of the youngest white devil. A story ensues which is not worth relating in the face of the abject misery the residents of the plantation are subjected to.

Status: Unreleased in the United States but you can purchase the video via E-bay from Europe or other vendors.

This is one of Disney's great works. I truly enjoy this film and I am pushing 40. It brings me back to when I was a child. The movies back then were so "innocent", and stark constrast to the filth produced by Hollywood these days. You can't help but love "Uncle Remus" and his classic tales of "Brer Rabbit" and friends. I highly recommend this to anyone who can get a copy. If you buy one (you can get a copy for around $40) be careful to note the format. The difference between American and Euro tapes is the NTSC and PAL format. I forgot which is which. Some VCRs can handle both. I had my tape converted.
