Life of Brian?
I do agree that Blazing Saddles belongs at the top of this list. But - so what? I love that movie!
I always thought that the great thing about this movie was
that it made fun of prejudice. It seemed like we had put
a lot of the old racial hangups behind us in the seventies
and this movie reinforced that by helping us laugh
at the past. What happened? For one thing race baiters
hated the idea of losing their jobs.

How to Murder Your Wife (1965) Jack Lemmon
Our Man Flint (1966)
In Like Flint (1967)
Now this is a great movie. Maybe I am to Politically Incorrect to think that this is Politically Incorrect. I would put this one on top of the list of the greatest movies of all time.
Song of the South was only supressed in the United States and only after the 1980s. It was released to home video in the UK, Japan, and Hong Kong.
LOL...Too funny!
Team America: World Police got ZERO stars from Roger Ebert.
It was politically incorrect. It went after the wrong politics.
If they are going to say “shocking humor” is politically incorrect, then Pink Flamingos is more politically incorrect than all of them.
And also from the Mel Brooks collection: History of the World, Part I. "The jig is up".
Mother Night (1996) adapted Kurt Vonnegut
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117093/
Howard W. Campbell Jr., an American living in Germany since childhood, is recruited by the United States to become an informer during the upcoming Second World War. What he does become, is one of the leading anti-semetic news broadcasters of Nazi Germany. After the fall of Hitler’s Germany, Campbell’s government friends arrange for a quiet life in the United States. His life is quiet until a complex web of spies and neo-Nazis draws him back into the life which he once lead. Eventually captured by the Isralies, Campbell’s one defense was: “I was an American Spy.”
It’s a comedy
Where was The Loved One?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059410/
The movie written by Terry Southern after Dr. Strangelove.
advertising tagline “Something to offend everyone.”
And a great cast:
Paul Williams ... Gunther Fry (as Paul H. Williams)
Rod Steiger ... Mr. Joyboy
Jonathan Winters ... Henry Glenworthy / Rev. Wilbur
Dana Andrews ... Gen. Buck Brinkman
Milton Berle ... Mr. Kenton
James Coburn ... Immigration Officer
John Gielgud ... Sir Francis Hinsley
Tab Hunter ... Whispering Glades Tour Guide
Liberace ... Mr. Starker
Roddy McDowall ... D.J. Jr.
Robert Morley ... Sir Ambrose Ambercrombie
Barbara Nichols ... Sadie Blodgett
Or The President’s Analyst (1967)?
It’s like if Quentin Tarantino had written Austin Powers:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062153/
James Coburn ... Dr. Sidney Schaefer
Godfrey Cambridge ... Don Masters, CEA Agent
Severn Darden ... V.I. Kydor Kropotkin
These movies are just crude. Not politically incorrect. To be “politically incorrect” they would need to do something shocking like show a black person in a bad way, instead of a Christian religious figure.
What do we do with Jack Webb's "Red Nightmare"?
Reefer Madness was designed to sell tickets and circumvent the Hayes Code. So were a bunch of the other "birth of a baby" and "white slavery" and "drug scare" films made and distributed by the "Forty Thieves".
Jack Webb's film was a short (30 minutes) and re-issued on home video as The Commies Are Coming in the 1980s by Rhino Home Video. Seems Jack was right.
Goooba Gaabba!
Freaks (1932) was a lost film (MGM threw the negative into the ocean and the cast was banned from the cafeteria). In the 1940s Dwain Esper (one of the Forty Thieves) bought the distribution rights from MGM and retitled it (he also added the "concerned" intro that remains at the beginning of video prints today).
It ran aground somewhere in the 1950s and then in the 1960s some movie maven teamed up with Anton Levay to find something "different" and it was this long suppressed (but never banned in the US) film.
MGM now claims ownership was "restored". Never understood that. They sold it. And dumped the negative.
But corporate dollars talk and you'll never win that legal battle.
Funny thing is Dwain Esper (I think) owned Reefer Madness (certainly he owned distribution on some of the other 30s pothead films) and he tried to collect in the 1970s when bootleg prints made the "cult films" college circuit. He didn't see any money.
Rudy Ray Moore’s: Petey Wheatstraw, the Devil’s Son-in-Law
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078078/
“Petey Wheatstraw (Rudy Ray Moore) is a candidate to become the devil’s son-in-law. The storyline is a scaffolding on which Rudy Ray Moore’s standup humor can be unfolded. Beginning life as the afterbirth to a watermelon, the young Wheatstraw becomes a martial artist, but is unable to best the evil comedy team of Leroy and Skillet, who also indulge in wholesale murder. Satan restores the comedians’ victims to life, and charges Petey with the task of marrying his clock-stoppingly ugly daughter to giving him a grandchild. When Petey attempts to default on the deal, he is pursued by the devil’s henchmen.”
I loved that movie! But they took out the song “I love the night life” for the video. It would seem they never got the artist’s permission to use it to begin with.
I didn’t realize they had already made a movie about Obama.
