[StACase]

Here's their list:

"Blazing Saddles"
"Airplane"
"There's Something About Mary"
"CAddyshack"
"Love and Death"
"Kentucky Fried Movie"
"Team America: World Police"
"Porky's"
"Song of the South"
"Bad Santa"

I'm not holding my breath for MSNBC to run a most obnixiouslly left wing biased list of movies. For starters, it would be nearly all of them.

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."

[Airborne Longhorn]

PATTON

[Celtjew Libertarian]

My nominee: Demolition Man. Sylvester Stallone, brought out of cryogenic suspension, to "rescue" the ultimate P.C. society.

Edgar Friendly (Played by Denis Leary, basically playing himself): You see, according to Cocteau's plan I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green jello all over my body reading playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener".

[Jack Deth]

'Joe': A 1970 gem with Peter Boyle as a Hardhat who decides to start shooting/killing people he doesn't like.
One is the dirty, drug dealing Hippie fiance of his daughter (Susan Sarandon, in her first movie role)

The film climaxes as Joe and a buddy ambush the Hippie, who coming to see Joe's daughter. The buddy offs the Hippie, while Joe hits and kills his daughter... D'OH!!!
'Across 110th Street' Another 70s gem with Anthony Quinn and Yaphett Kotto as Harlem detectives trying to track down a gang that ripped off a local Mob book making shop. The Mob sends gloriously psychotic Tony Franciosa out to find the gang and exact vengeance.

'Freebie & The Bean': 70s again! James Caan and Alan Arkin run roughshod over San Francisco and LA to find the shooter of a mid-level mob boss. The bad guy is a Transvestite, who was the mid-level boss's lover.

'Who'll Stop The Rain': One of Nick Nolte's (Who's awesome!) earliest roles. As a Vietnam vet/Mechant Seaman who agrees to pick up and carry 3 kilos of pure uncut Laotian heroin for correspondent Michael Moriarity.

Everything goes bad, and Nolte and Tuesday Weld (Moriarity's wife) travel from San Francisco to LA, to Mexico trying to sell the H. While being running into and being pursued by a "Who's Who" of great character actors at the tops of their games.

The film is brilliant for showing the Post Vietnam malaise of the West Coast. Wiith everything from aging, Birkenstocked San Francisco Hippies. To brainless LA/Hollywood wannabe movers-and-shakers. To a gloriously bent and corrupt Fed (Anthony Zerbe) and his lunatic, moronic henchmen.

A great adaptation of Rober Stone's 'Dog Solidiers'!

Just a few off the top of my head.

Jack.

All the Die Hards!!

"Love and Death" was funny if you ignored Woody Allen's whining. Some un-PC moments.

---

Allen On God:

Boris (Allen): I was walking through the woods, thinking about Christ. If he was a carpenter, I wondered what he charged for bookshelves.

Allen debates the existence of God with his orthodox priest and quotes the philosophical writings on God by Spinoza to which the priest quips that Spinoza is just a Jew. Allen asks how he knows Spinoza is a Jew and the priest says he has a book filled with pictures. Allen is amazed at the photos..."so Spinoza had horns on his head..." To which the priest responds "...and a tail."

---

Allen on male sexuality:

"...You know, some men are heterosexual and some men are bisexual and some men don't think about sex at all, you know...[pause] they become lawyers." (Great line).


Countess Alexandrovna: You are the greatest lover I've ever had.
Boris (Allen) : Well, I practice a lot when I'm alone.


Sonja (Diane Keating): Oh don't, Boris, please. Sex without love is an empty experience.
Boris (Allen): Yes, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best.

[Dionysius]

A couple of more obscure candidates:

"Fighting Back" (with Tom Skerrit)
"Year of the Dragon" (with Mickey Rourke)

This is the second time this thread has been run - with the same bunch pushing to equate nonPC people with being racist. That's kind of trollish isn't it?

[0siris]

Surprised no one's mentioned "The Incredibles", which has some smart satirical bits about the socialist and the lawsuit-happy mindset. "True Lies" had the bad guys being Arab terrorists and the good guys a super secret ultra-legal anti-terrorist force run by Charlton Heston of all people. Then there was the inferior and grossly sloppy "Executive Decision", also about an Arab terrorist trying to bring down a plane in D.C. Not a good movie, but would never be made in today's Hollywood climate. "Signs" by Shyamalan, starring Gibson, affirms the value of faith and the presence of a designer and Creator (albeit Shyamalan is a Hindu), and the film ends w/ the lapsed preacher returning to the pulpit.

Others that may be included are "The Killing Fields" and "The Dancer Upstairs". The Killing Fields starts off a bit whiny, w/ the accidental bombing of a Cambodian village by a US airplane (suggesting that the Khmer Rouge's subsequent actions are in response to U.S. "aggression"), but by the end, we see the end extent of Marxist ideology, in the gulags where children are raised not only w/o parents but raised w/ an instilled hatred of the institution of parentage. The Dancer Upstairs (directed by Randian influenced John Malkovich) portrays (gasp!) hard line Marxists as terrorists. Something mainstream Hollywood would NEVER do.

And of course, recently there was United 93 and the Andy Garcia movie "Lost City" about the evils of Castro and Che (two movies I've yet to see)...

Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The Bridge on the River Kwai

Great movie about a man who lets his pride in his work overcome clear thought. In the end he gets a lot of people killed that did not need to die.

Barbershop.

If I have to explain then you didn't see it.

The End of the Spear.

Blows up the Noble Savage myth and shows how Christian values are the saving of a tribe.

Tears of the Sun.

American solders as contemporary heros? Who would have thunk it?
