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.

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.

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.
