I dunno, if anything Se7en becomes even creepier / more horrifying than it already is.
Haven't seen it in ages but I assume the movie itself is still fine if you can get over the white actor in brownface playing an indian scientist.

With the exception of American Beauty (which has aged poorly for a different reason) I disagree.
L.A. Confidential, for instance, is still an incredible film.
Why would anyone mention Idiocracy when it's become scarily accurate?
Why do you feel like American Beauty has aged poorly?
I haven't seen the movie in awhile and sure, it's pretty heavy-handed at points, but I remember really liking it.
I enjoy the film, but as I've got older I dont find it as profound and deep as I once did. Plus, Depressed White Man Goes Has Mid-life Crisis is pretty passé.
I can't qualatatively fault the film, the directing, acting and score is all great it just doesnt have the impact it probably did in 1999.
To be honest Idiocracy is aspirational at this point.
Camacho gave a shit about people and listened to someone he thought was smarter than him.
Yeah, honestly, we're approaching the world of Idiocracy at the start of the film.
We can only hope we reach the aspirational end of the film at this point.
That's pretty cool trivia. I still can't handle the noise of it, but I like that there was a deeper reason haha
The fact someone mentioned Peter Pan, surprised it wasn't followed up with other Disney films that had outdated content:
Dumbo - the black men with no faces working near the beginning and the crows.
Lady and the Tramp - The Siamese Cat Song
Aristocats - Also had a stereotypical Siamese cat.
Pocahontas - Though that was controversial to begin with.

Well, on a re-watch I felt like framing-device of lower class/stupid people leading to the dystopia because they were out breeding educated yuppies was kind of problematic, but maybe I'm in the minority there.
Aladdin also got flack as well when it came out.
In fact the uproar was loud enough that Disney changed the opening lyrics, but they still kept the "barbaric" line lol.
early 2000's movies like Van Wilder and American Pie were full of pranks like that.
I literally just watched that movie. I still love it to death. But I agree about the slurs and stuff. But it's still funny. It's also a time capsule to remind us of a time when Smash Mouth and The Baja Men were relevant and every-fucking-where. Shame that John Cleese turned out to be a terrible Rowling-supporting transphobe though. Other than that it's a really good remake of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
Moon is still fucking amazing. He only plays the voice of a computer but it's only because he has such a distinct voice. I adore that movie. It's just really good.
Agreed. The whole point of the movie is that Austin is a product of his time who has to learn how to be a better person because he's not living in his time anymore.
Lol give me a fucking break. Jim Cameron accidentally backing into timeliness 13 years later because he retold Fern Gully with blue cats doesn't make that 2 hour yawn of an effects reel "a fantastic movie." With his disowning of Piranha 2, Avatar is easily Cameron's worst film, maybe tied with True Lies depending on how poorly one feels that has aged.
Most filmmakers would kill to have Avatar as their worst film. I still think it's True Lies.
There are so many things "off" with this scene that it becomes hard to even place them. Why are they all... running at each other? Why do they shoot a little bit before brawling? Why are the background actors, when Batman and Bane are talking, wrestling like high school boys? Why is it all shot at the blandest time of day?
Flash Gordon is my absolute favourite movie of all time, and I'm just surprised this didn't happen sooner.
Even worse a lot of fans in India thought it was a genuine Indian actor (I can't remember his name) because Fisher Stevens looks uncannily like him, a lot of fans wrote him letters about Short Circuit and he wrote back saying sorry it wasn't actually him.
Also the fact they use an anti-Semitic joke to prove Johnny 5 is Capable of genuine emotione and humour is not great.
Ouch, didn't know about that. Then again I watched the movie in, what, 30 years?
At least the movie tries to present our government as competent...
I find that hard to believe, considering it's a completely shitty caricature performance.
Here you are, it was Javed Joffrey who was the Bollywood actor who Indian fans thought was in the movie.
Culture on My Mind – Lessons from Short Circuit
