"The Wind and the Lion" -- esp. the part when the Marines open fire on the sultan's bodyguard when they aren't expecting it! (Morocco, 1908)
Love the scene where they are tortuing HOrst Buchols by playing Itsy, Bitsy, Teeny, Weeny Polka Dot Bikini with the 45 being off spindle and turning in a loop.
Never heard of the other movie you mention.
"Bad Santa" is EXTREMELY politically CORRECT by liberal/hollywood/anti-christian standards. By demeaning Christmas, the holiday that can't be named (under the PC code), it may be the most politically correct movie to come out of Hollywood in years.
BASEketball was pretty un-PC as well.
Dogma
Pedicaris Alive or Razuli Dead!
Parker and Stone strive on being politically incorrect.
It's why I'm such a big fan of theirs.
Geez, they forgot "PCU" about a politically correct university. Scenes include throwing raw hamburger meat at vegans protesting, sex with feminists, making people hear "Afternoon Delight" 100 times on a pumped up stereo in a locked room, etc.
Great flick, Jon Faverau as the stoned guy who hears everything wrong, and quite disgustingly, the "Womenyst" feminazis, David Spade as the young republican who gets his ass kicked....
The article is about comedies, so "Birth of a Nation" is not included despite it appearing kind of funny now.
The original title for the movie was "The Klansman" or "The Clansman" (not sure which spelling was to be used) but D. W. Griffith apparently had some copyright issues.
Regarding "Song of the South", I bet they would release the movie on home video if Uncle Remus was a kindly wise homosexual. That would be considered ok. But for him to have been a slave and too happy as a slave, we're going to censor such a movie.
It's interesting to consider what they censor compared to what kinds of offensive movies are considered to be ok nowadays.
I was thinking the same thing. I'm amazed that it still runs on cable.
I'm sleep-deprived and I have a cold.
Yes, that is my excuse for today. ;-)
Blazing Saddles no question.
"Nappin on the job!"
I don't think there are many people under 50 who have even seen Song of the South.
>>Little kids today have never seen that movie, yet they are using the music from that movie in their ads. I think that's so strange and shows how political correctness has infected our culture.<<
When we went on Splash Mountain in DisneyWorld, my daughter thought that Brer Rabbit was the bad guy.
I had to get a European copy of the film so she could see it.
(Want to see PC? See my profile page)
A great one!
"One, Two, Three."
As a kid WAY BACK WHEN TV channels did show good old movies after prime-time
and the late news...
I saw this film aired only ONCE.
Now I wonder if even then lefties were in the local TV stations and couldn't
stand to see a great comedy in which love and capitalism triumphs.
Two from John Waters!
