The one that came to mind as I watched it was FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE. The plot is so unPC, two guys who join forces to hunt down a Mexican bandit-rapist and his gang. But that wasn't a hollywood-made film anyway. Even in 1965 it would have been too unPC for Hollywood. How is that unPC, brah? The bad guys are the ones being hunted. Wouldn't unPC be the opposite? Two guys who join forces to join a bandit-rapist gang. |

Any new film adaptation of "The Taming of the Shrew." Unless it's done with a gender reversal.

By 1965 Hollywood was pushing minorities as victims and the white male had to lose. FAFDM is totally not in that vein. The neurotic is El Indio. Not to mention, it portrays a hunchback as an unsympathetic bad guy--another no-no for Hollywood. The Professionals (a 1966 Hollywood film) has the Mexican outlaw as the good guy and its the white guy Ralph Bellamy who is the bad one. That was more typical of Hollywood of the era. |

Any historical fiction movie where the cold hard facts are glossed over to make the story "better".

Any movie from the 70's or 80's with gay people in them. A good example of that would be Zorro: The Gay Blade (1981). |

As I have been rewatching some of the old Johnny Weismuller Tarzan movies from the 1930s. I don't think they could have done those stories as is nowdays.

Lots of good answers, best one from teleadm. Tarzan of the thirties would be impossible to do as it was. In defense of TARZAN AND HIS MATE, a classic, the most heroic of the safari turns out to be the head African, and one of the other Africans almost survives to the end. In fact, it's his downfall that we feel the most empathy for at the end.
Saloman also has a great one. Who could believe that BLAZING SADDLES would get so much flak for being a film making the whites look like the most foolish clowns? And the ones who hate it complain that it does the opposite, which is beyond bizarre.
Disagree with Bad News Bears. Fact is that those remarks were politically incorrect for 90% of Americans in 1945, and for 100% in 1975. I wasn't there in 1945, but the movies and TV shows show it, and I was there out of high school, in college, in the work force at several different jobs, in 1975, and believe me, anyone whom I heard say one racist line anywhere, had better be sure it was against whites, or he would never be allowed to speak nor work, nor school, there again.
Obviously lots of "future set" movies couldn't be made without at least changing the year. The world didn't have a nuclear war in 1989 or whenever, for example.
I think the biggest change is in cell phones and GPA (and I still refuse to use GPA. If I'm going somewhere, I need to know how I'm going there, and how I'm leaving).
Cell phones make it so everyone should get off Gilligan's Island okay. Gene Hackman and Ernest Borgnine could call in a rescue on the Poseidon. About the only movie I can think of, that isn't historically set in an earlier time, that wouldn't change is DELIVERANCE.

The Magnificent Seven depicts American mercenaries interfering in the domestic affairs of Mexico and battling a national liberation movement which the gringoes brand bandits - or banditos if you will.
Lawrence of Arabia is another tale of imperialist meddling. It actually is just that, but its point of view is hardly favorable.
Just about any US-made movie put out during WW2 that takes place in the Pacific.
