Blazing Saddles isn’t necessarily my “favorite movie”. But no way in hell anything even remotely close to it would ever be made to today. However the genius of that movie is it’s actually making FUN of racism. Sure plenty of racist white people say the N word in that movie but they make themselves look like complete asses doing it (and hilariously so)

I also even wonder if Pulp Fiction could be made today. That movie was a timeless masterpiece. However there is a scene where Quentin Tarantino using the N word when he’s pissed off at Samuel Jackson. No way even Quentin Tarantino would have the balls to shoot a scene like that nowadays. His own screenwriting got more juvenile and simplified as he got older too. Too much woke pressure.

It is just sad. Because movies like Pulp Fiction had so much depth and complexity to the different characters and interactions. Everybody got “owned” at some point in the film regardless of their race or gender.. It’s fantasy yet reality. But if we ever see something like that again is anyone’s guess.

Tempting as it is to say "the collective works of Mel Brooks", I'll go with Airplane!. First, because the genre it was parodying is dead (pretty much killed by Airplane!, actually, since no one could take it seriously any more), second because some of the jokes are WAY too adult, but mostly because the rapid-fire zaniness is too difficult for modern attention spans to keep up with.

Also, it's WAY too un-PC to make a joke about a "drinking problem" these days, even of this kind:

Mary Poppins, there are a few references to gender norms that correspond with 1950's thinking and not 2020 thinking, like when the chimney sweeper says

"you need someone, older and wiser to guide you through..." back when men were perceived as more mature and rational and intelligent then women and women were perceived as valuable for their youth and beauty so always had to be younger than the man they married."

Me, I believe a woman's respect for a man should be earned by the man if he wants any special treatment beyond what you would give anybody else you know, and that a man is not entitled to special treatment or respect simply because he was born as a man and not a woman. He deserves special treatment if he acts with integrity and fairness.

Just like a woman should earn a man's loyalty by being fair and honest and loyal and reasonable and considerate of his feelings and she does not deserve to be married if she is abusive towards her husband or her children.

Probably Grease because it kinda implies that you should change who you are to get the person you like to like you back

"Blazing Saddles," which was rife with the "N" word.

I have never seen Rush Hour. Why wouldn’t it be made today? From the picture it looks like it celebrates diversity.

It isn't my favourite, but 'The Life of Brian' is just SO politically incorrect, that most Gen Zedders would have a heart attack if they saw it.

Excalibur (1981). It's just too awesome for today in my opinion.

Also I think lots of people of today's generation will find it cheesy instead of poetic, romantic, a metaphor rather than something to be taken literally. Everyone's so cynical these days.
