One of my favorite movies that could never be replicated today is “The Bad News Bears” original (not the remake.)
Imagine a movie where the lead drives around a bunch of kids in an open convertible while smoking a cigar and drinking beer out of a can.
And then there is this famous line.
“Jews, spics, niggers, and now a girl?” - Tanner Boyle
or this exchange,
Tanner Boyle: All we got on this team are a buncha Jews, spics, niggers, pansies, and a booger-eatin’ moron!
Ogilvie: Tanner, I think you need to be reminded from time to time that you are one of the few people on this team who is not a Jew, spic, nigger, pansy or a booger-eating moron. So you’d better cool it or we may be disposed to beat the crap out of you.
Thanks, I haven’t seen it since I was a kid but now I have kids, so they deserve to see it. Original of course. Didn’t even know there was a remake.
They love to remake stuff don’t they? Makes em feel like they’re rewriting history. Never mind the fact that history repeats itself.
Tanner and Kelly were the two best.
