“Everyone Just Laughed It Off”: 26 Movie Scenes That Definitely Didn’t Age Well

Are there things in Grease that are not acceptable today? Yes. Do I still love that movie and know every word? Also yes

Listen to the lyrics of the songs...

The entire movie. I've always hated this movie.

If you stop and think about it, this movie/play did an excellent job of highlighting problematic behaviours of the time. If you can’t wrap your head around the idea that it was intended to challenge common concepts then most of the movie/play was lost on you. Even Shakespeare was a subversive. His plays were popular because they focused on the intrinsic hypocrisy and foolishness of group think. Here ends a sermon from someone who actually understood that literature doesn’t just reflect reality, it provides a commentary from the writer’s perspective.

That movie came out when I was in jr. high and even then I thought the actors looked waayyyyy too old be playing teenagers.

Is that Martine McCutcheon? She's beautiful.

Because that’s not the case anymore... ?! and personally, I would kill to be as beautiful as Natalie

Did you all just straight up missed the dang point? Where the movie made it clear she was bodyshamed *but it didn't mean s**t*?

It's really a shame, because the pressure that falls on the women in Hollywood is enormous which in turn is transferred to all the women. Not just about their body, but also their appearance.

To this very day I still find this movie incredibly cheesy and cringey and I can’t quite put my finger on it.

It was supposed to be cringy then as well?

It was tough to watch them! But I think that was the point of the movie

It never ceased to annoy me when this is brought up...it was supposed to be creepy, the whole point of the film is middle aged man having a crisis.

NOW?!?!

It's was hard then too. I found the movie gross when it came out. Watched it and though very stylized, it confirmed my suspicions.

Yeah reminded me of revenge of the nerds, also gross behavior

The thing is, stuff like this happens more often now as kids have camera phones. So to say it hasn't aged well is inaccurate. If anything, you could say that this was ahead of its time and warning us of the dangers of the Internet.

Date rap‍e. Use the correct words, damn it.

I disappear for a week and return to find BP replacing rape with [sex crime], what's next? "I lifted my sword and [gave them a boo-boo]"

One day someone will post an item about Rohypnol and BP will describe it as "date [sex crime] [illegal substances]"

I thought the rape scene was horrible at the time. I also thought it was one of the funniest movies I'd seen. I'd honestly be okay if they just left the rape thing right out of it for modern showings.

This is one of my favourite films, but his scenes always ruin it for me. Like why did they do this??

Now, there's a movie that could use a re-make. It's a good story, and could be updated intelligently, without the 'problems'.

Marlon Brando as Japanese, anyone? I'm that old

The 7Faces of Dr. Lao, Tony Randall When I was 7 I was fascinated by this movie I now understand the appropriation but it’s still a great story

Just cuz it's a man getting raped instead of a woman doesn't make it funny.

That scene was so upsetting, even at the time.

Well in fairness if your F buddy ties you up you might end up having sex. The real problem was the dirty sock.

Ohhhh yeah! There’s a reason you see White Christmas on cable every December but not Holiday Inn. Remember watching it as a kid (back in the ‘80s) & thinking “WTF is this?!”

In the UK we had a very popular Saturday evening prime time show(1970's) called the Black and White Minstrels show. Check that out if you get a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've saw that movie a lot, I've never saw that scene, it must have been cut.

Celebrating Presidents Day with some casual racism…
