The 10 least politically correct movies ever

MS NBC ^ | July 11, 2006 | Michael Ventre

Many believe political correctness is good. It keeps us in line. It reminds us that almost all segments of society should be treated with dignity and respect. A joke at the expense of someone’s gender, race or ethnic background has no place in movies today.

Of course, there are those who disagree, who believe political correctness is wrong, who feel that it only creates resentment toward the offended parties. A PC world is a world of oppression, they say, where freedom of speech is allowed in theory, but not in practice.

Personally, I’m not sure how I feel. Ideally, I’d like to straddle the line between both so as not to offend anyone.

[sportutegrl]

Well, I was offended.

Chistopher Walken's performance as Vincenzo Coccotti in that scene with Dennis Hopper was great. "I'm the Anti-Christ. You get me in a vendetta kind of mood, you will tell the angels in heaven that you had never seen pure evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you."

[TommyDale]

I hope you meant "twit"...

Copies are for sale on Amazon the last time I looked but were very expensive.

Some things of literary value will never be seen again. In a comic vein there's the old Amos and Andy TV series. Impossible to find today becaue it "offends" liberals, but it was a true comic masterpiece and its characters all had jobs, all were trying to make the big score. Kingfish and Sapphire argued and nagged but were in love.

Jackie Gleason copied Amos and Andy, called it The Honeymooners and we see marathons in NYC on Ch 11 twice a year. Go figure.

D-FENS!

What kind of vigilante are you?

I am not a vigilante.

I'm just trying to get home
for my little girl's birthday.

If they ever come out with the PC Police I will be going to jail for life for my movie collection. So far most of the movies listed are some of my favorites.

[montag813]

Team America is hardly a left-wing movie. I would argue that it is far more right-wing than neutral.

The only jabs at the right are when they gleefully blow up the Louvre and Pyramids in order to destroy phantom WMDs, and perhaps also the "very bad I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E."

[sportutegrl]

I can't believe no one has even mentioned GWTW. (Gone With The Wind). The whole movie is one big politically incorrect festivel. Pre Civil War South as a utopia for owner and slave alike, the negative side of freedom, marital rape, extreme sexism, carpetbaggers. Probably was left off of the list because it is anti war.

Also:

Animal House

Hollywood Knights

Officer Clark: Don't you think I'd look good in a moustache?

Bimbeau: You'd be perfect. You'd be a perfect horse's ass.

Bimbeau: [after tasting the punch, which the Knights have urinated in] It does have a little wang to it. Good, though.

Fasttimes at Ridgemont High

White Men Can't Jump

Ferris Buellers Day Off

Office Space

Samir: No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard: Samir Na-gheen-an-a-jar. Nagheenanajar.

Peter Gibbons: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh - after that I sorta space out for an hour.

Bob Porter: Da-uh? Space out?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

Seems, for the most part, to be politically incorrect with a sense of humor. Except for "Song of the South," they're all pretty out there comedies.

If nothing else, they have 3 off my all-time favorite movies on the list -- "Airplane!" "Team America," and "Blazing Saddles." -- which makes me want to rent the others.

[RaceBannon]

My most PC movie is Forrest Gump

[Inyo-Mono]

Any Sam Peckinpah movie should also make the list.

Blowing away Mexicans in "The Wild Bunch."

[Cheapskate]

Yup And then there was

"CATHOLIC SCHOOLGIRLS IN TROUBLE" a samuel L. Bronkowitz production.

Or was that Groove Tube? they vame out pretty close to each other and were both great!

[Sensei Ern]

Anyone else annoyed by this lefty implated statement?...It keeps us in line. It reminds us that almost all segments of society should be treated with dignity and respect.

Any wonder what segments they feel should NOT be treated with dignity?
rednecks
gun owners
anyone who votes Republican

[happinesswithoutpeace]

Alright it is my day off but I have a lot to do today...however I am having fun on this movie thread..anyone remember Amerika with Kris Kristofferson?

[blau993]

Zulu

[happinesswithoutpeace]

Or "V the Final battle"?

[JFaron]

My top ten non - PC list:

The Passion of the Christ
Unforgiven
Red Dawn
The Greatest Story Ever Told
Left Behind
The Patriot
The Ten Commandments
Ben Hur
Patton
Exodus

Hmmmmmmm I could exchange a couple of those for some others but I think that about covers it. I left The Green Beret out, but if I picked a John Wayne movie I have no idea which one I would pick there are so many.

Die Hard - the FBI are jackbooted bumbling idiots, and the terrorists are killed almost with glee. "Welcome to the party, pal." The bad guy is an obnoxious reporter for whom the story is more important than people's lives.

Ghostbusters - the bad guy is from the EPA, and is totally humiliated. And it doesn't get any more anti-feminist than Sigourney Weaver as the demon-possessed GateKeeper. Plus you've got Dan Ackroyd's famouse line about losing a job in the university: "You don't know what it's like out there. I've been in the private sector. They expect results."
