25 Movies That Just Couldn’t Get Made Anymore
These movies just do not age well.
Published 1 year ago in Creepy
These days, all the old franchises are coming back. Sequels to classics like "Top Gun" and "Jurassic Park" are dominating the box office. Some movies probably won't be getting sequels however. Whether for racial, sexual, or plain outdated elements, these classic movies from AskReddit did not stand up to the test of time and the modern world.

Blazing Saddles. Looking back today, it’s got so many “fade out, fade back in” scene transitions! Sticks out like a sore thumb, even if you’re not normally the sort of person who pays attention to cinematography. You maybe see that sort of thing every once in a while today, but usually as a deliberate choice, not the default. Modern films usually use cuts, sometimes with diegetic sound from the upcoming scene playing early to let you know it’s coming, or find a way to incorporate it into the movement on-screen.4
Revenge Of The Nerds. They break into the sorority house and steal underwear and install cameras. Lewis impersonates the boyfriend and gets intimate with Betty. They sell naked photos of her in pies to raise money. Not to mention all the stereotypical jokes about Lamar being gay and black. No way that would go over today.21
Everyone is saying 30+ year old movies but a lot of movies that came out even 10 years ago wouldn’t be okay today. For example, I just watched Pitch Perfect the other day for some reason. There’s a lesbian in the group and that’s literally the joke, that she’s gay. Then there’s a girl who is promiscuous and that’s the joke. And Fat Amy.23
MASH. Love the show, hate the movie. Used to get into public arguments about it with my ex. Him: “She hates MASH!! How can you hate MASH??? ”Me: “yeah, you know, the movie. Where they support a gay guys desire to kill himself and then drug and take advantage of him as conversion therapy AND IT WORKS.” Good stuff.
