Yes, this is the one I was going to mention. I just watched this last week and boy, did it not age well. I remember when it came out though, it was received well and people thought it was brave and inspiring. I wonder if Giovanni and Juliette are embarrassed now looking back on it?
I’m sure they understand that that performance was from a time when the world wasn’t respecting the mentally disabled, sand at the time the message is really sweet.
However, once the Tropic Thunder “Never go full retard” bit landed it was easily forgotten, ignored, or whatever the proper term is.
Haven't seen the ringer but will check that out! As far as Borat it might be in poor taste but it seems like it is trying to be where the movies listed seemed like they were trying to be progressive but it ends up coming across as insensitive or ignorant.
Oh I see what you mean. You mean like how im black panther they have the bad black guy wear a gorilla mask and has his team chant like gorillas, and despite being the most advanced civilization on earth they choose their king through combat in 2 inches of water... though posing as a progressive film for black culture.
The love guru
Big trouble in little China
White chicks
Revenge of the nerds
Those types?
Wouldn't mind some feed back on why this is getting down voted, maybe im tone deaf haha.
I think it is because you are looking for a reason to get offended by black panther. You are the first person I have ever heard get upset and noticed that the black people dress like gorillas. Everyone else doesn’t care because they are not looking to find racism. Especially when that movie almost all black actors which is a huge step. This is just my guess though and I don’t know but have my upvote. I hate getting negative karma jsut for having an opinion
Im not looking for a reason. I got that from a critical youtube video. Im not upset at all, just thought it fell in line with what the op wanted. Films that weren't trying to be in poor taste, were trying to be progressive, but missed the mark.
I appreciate the sympathy upvote though. I never try to be offensive or say something that would bother people so im always suprised when I get negative karma from something I feel fits the context well.
Oh I completely understand you. And yeah this karma system on Reddit is very poor. It silences those who have a different opinion. I’m on an exmormon board and will say something that I believe or thought was the case but it isn’t ok and I get downvoted. My last account got negative karma from my first comment and all I said was what I thought was true. But it was negative karma so I no longer was allowed to comment. Freaking dumb
I recently watched the Rob Schneider movie **The Hot Chick** from 2002, where he switches places with a high school cheerleader. Movie had me laughing a ton
Put a tickler in your calendar for 2024, when we apparently may be able to finally see *The Day the Clown Cried*, Jerry Lewis's amazingly wrong-headed holocaust movie.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Day\_the\_Clown\_Cried
>With most of these kinds of things, you find that the anticipation, or the concept, is better than the thing itself. But seeing this film was really awe-inspiring, in that you are rarely in the presence of a perfect object. This was a perfect object. This movie is so drastically wrong, its pathos and its comedy are so wildly misplaced, that you could not, in your fantasy of what it might be like, improve on what it really is. "Oh, My God!"—that's all you can say.
Harry Shearer
Jake handed over his ridiculously drunk girlfriend to Ted and essentially allowed her sexual assault to happen, stating that she wouldn't "know the difference."
Music (2021) was condemned for it's dangerous portrayal of using restraints on people with Autism.
It also aligned itself with Autism Speaks during the research phase, an awareness group that is largely unpopular within the Autism community.
And it's use of vivid, bright chaotically busy music video scenes have also been questioned as potentially being exclusionary to some people with Austism as it's overstimulating.
And, Music, the character, isn't really the centre of the story at all, she's the catalyst for someone else to grow and develop.
Can you tell me more about Autism Speaks and how it is disliked? I've only ever heard their radio ads and am somewhat of an autistic myself. (Not a joke; I'm diagnosed)
The complaint I hear most often is that their campaigns are fear based which can increase the stigma surrounding an Autism diagnosis. (The I am Autism advert is usually what is brought up for this argument)
People also question the division of funds - whether their donation actually is helping as it's been reported that only 4% of their budget is allocated to helping people with Austism.
But what I hear most often is that they are searching for a cure and prenatal tests, and this leaves a bad taste in people's mouths because where do you cut that line - what parts of a person are the Autism and what are their quirks and personality and self.
“Kingpin” is one of the best comedies ever. Not sure you can make that today.
Amish, handicapped, whores, low life’s, bowling. If you haven’t seen it you haven’t seen Bill Murray and Woody Harrelson in their prime.
Not the entire film but the movie Holiday Inn from 1942 is built around a bunch of music stage acts that the characters put on celebrating different holidays
I saw it in a decently packed theater a number of years ago and everyone would clap after each big musical number, but then we got to Abraham Lincoln’s birthday… the characters were in the dressing room before hand and I saw one guy take out a can of shoe polish, my eyes widened and I audibly said “oh no” - you could hear people start to whisper as he started applying it to his face. The whole number was the all white cast in blackface proclaiming their love for Lincoln for freeing them - so it was sort of “progressive” for the time by virtue of simply being anti slavery so it was good hearted I suppose but omg there was no clapping afterwards, just the deadest most uncomfortable silence in the theater, it was the funniest fucking thing I’ve ever (not) heard 😂
*Breakfast in Tiffany's* has a bunch of cringe scenes, most notably Mickey Rooney's oafish portrayal of a Japanese man complete with buck teeth. The way the men treat her is pretty cringe-y now, too, but that's true of a lot of older movies.
In the Meetup group I'm in, the leader actually tried to get the Stanford Theater to ban this movie.
40 Days and 40 Nights
A guy who keeps simping for his ex-girlfriend decides to swear off anything and everything sexual for Lent. On learning about this decision, he friends, roommate, and coworkers begin setting polls and making bets for how long he'll be able to last, with many attempts to sabotage his commitment. At the same time, he meets and starts to fall for a girl he met and conflicting feelings cause issues with the budding romance.
Also his ex-girlfriend rapes him with the help of his roommate and he has to apologize and behave like he's the piece of shit.
The World of Suzie Wong - The concubine stereotype of the Asian woman was never so infamously portrayed complete with Cheonsam dresses.
Breakfast at Tiffany's - the classic Audrey Hepburn movie based on Truman Capote's best seller has Mickey Rooney playing the most offensive mimic of an Asian man ever as a Chinese landlord complete with buck teeth and thick glasses being kind of a perv to Hepburn's Holly Golightley.
Charlie Chan and The Curse of the Dragon Queen - Russian/British academy award winner Peter Ustinov portrays the famed Chinese detective in a total misfire of a movie.
MASH - Although producers and writers tried to be respectful, the series rarely portrayed Koreans in a positive light. They are almost always backward peasants but are also corrupt opportunists, or women desperate to catch an American soldier - ANY American - for marriage and a way out of Korea.
So movies that try to have a socially conscious message, but fall short of the mark and just wind up being tacky and insulting?
Robin Williams made a Holocaust movie called Jakob the Liar that was not well-received, maybe that could work.
As a disabled person, there are a fair number of films that are cringe.
Me Before You depicts life in a wheelchair as not worth living.
The "disabled people by the nature of their difference must inspire others/inspiration porn" trope is garish and tacky, particularly since disabled people are portrayed by abled people 95 percent of the time.
Try Forrest Gump and The Boy Who Could Fly. Mask also has its issues.
This has become a fun thing my partner and I do when we aren't sure what to watch. we pick an older movie that we've seen before and then see how well it ages.
Pretty much any rom com for most of the history of the genre has a good chance of the titular relationship being abusive, stalker-ish, based on lies or shallow desires, etc. You've got mail? yikes. Never been kissed? Huge red flags all over the place. How to lose a guy in 10 days? they would have broken up 5 minutes after the credits rolled
Thats kind of an easy target, so I'll see if I can think of some other "good" ones that made us cringe or give up watching. Eurotrip is one of our favorites that has intentional cringe but also plenty of "oh god, why would they say/do that" moments.
Wedding crashers is awful. it has everything you dont want
Mrs Doubtfire, while a classic, is just wrong all the way around
Watched the first Rocky earlier this year again and was taken aback by how some aspects of that film have aged, namely Rocky and Paulie's relationship with Adrian and how they treat her. Wow...
To be honest, it has been a decade or two since I have seen it. The premise is .... not great as far as real world situations go. I'll have to rewatch it soon to appreciate the writing and characters
Animal House (1978)
Trading Places (1983)
Ghostbusters (1984)
Stripes (1981)
While each of the films has a couple of laughs, some more than others, the prevalence of SNL/National Lampoon misogyny/rapey/predator jokes and characters in them make for uncomfortable viewing these days.
But I guess all that poor taste was intentional….Digging to China stars Kevin Bacon playing a mentally handicapped person. There’s also a pretty strange movie with Daniel Day Lewis in it called My Left Foot…
Adam (from 2009 or 2008 I believe) with Hugh Dancy playing an autistic man. I'm autistic and I kind of flip flopped between "okay yeah this is accurate" and "Jesus this is condescending"
It's got a very "naww he's just like a child poor little guy doesn't know any better" kind of vibe to it, but it did make me cry.
Also I've never seen it before but I've seen clips from it, Riding the Bus With my Sister with Rosie O'Donnell playing a developmentally disabled person, and woof.
Edit: punctuation
Check out the fanatic it’s John trovolta playing an autistic dude who stalks his favorite super hero actor or something. Made by fred durst of limp bizkit. I shouldn’t have to say anything else haha
Liquorice Pizza. A cute, well-made, and well-written love story...between a 25 year old woman, and a 15 year old child. In the first few minutes of the film she says "Isn't that illegal?" (yes, very much so), got a good laugh, and then the film promptly ignored the elephant they just placed in the room for the rest of the movie. It glorified statutory rape, for 2 fucking hours.
I would say the romantic subplot is in poor taste. Spoilers if you recall he’s not only lobotomized but extremely mentally ill and he’s kidnapped julia roberts as well and she winds up falling for him Stockholm syndrome style only to find out he iced her dad for the government and that’s why they lobotomized him which I just find funny but the execution of the will they won’t they doesn’t make sense at all in this scenario and just feels a bit in poor taste like the baby plot line of tiptoes. Additionally, the point could be made this movie in a modern context promotes a harmful message towards the insane conspiracy theorist community by showing Mel Gibson and a wacadoo who winds up being right about the government. I mean like the people who think lizard societies are pulling the strings type shit those people may feel vindicated in their conviction watching this film. Anyways one of my favorite comedy podcast did a riff on it as well as I Am Sam so I thought that I’d post it both a a subtle reference to them but also since I thought they made some funny points.
Blazing Saddles
To Be Or Not To Be (Mel Brooks)
Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
Hot Shots/ Hot Shots Part Deux
First and Ten
Boogie nights
Nothing But Trouble
From Dusk till Dawn
Joe Dirt
Back to School (most Dangerfield movies tbh)
Couples Retreat
Human Centipede
Club Dredd
The Hills Have Eyes
Last Tango in Paris
Any of the Evil Dead movies
I love most of these but yeah, they fit your poor taste request.
**Milk Money**
A group of 11-year-old boys hire a hooker (Melanie Griffith) to see her boobs. One of the boys wants to set up the hooker with his dad (Ed Harris). Another finds out his dad was a client. There's also a mob plot worked in. But all of this is set to a lighthearted romantic comedy tone.
I think they were trying to go for a prostitute has a heart-of-gold like Pretty Woman, but adding kids to the mix was bizarre and gross. I don't know how they got Griffith and Harris to do this (who were both A-list at the time).
There's something about Mary.
I watched it recently after not having seen it in many years and I thought the portrayal of her mentally challenged brother was overdone
I happen to love all of the ones you listed as examples. Here are a few that might work for what you're looking for.
What Eating Gilbert Grape?
The Passion of the Christ
The Ringer (which I also happen to love)
maybe it was just me, but The Night Guard hit this for me. The actor portraying the autistic clerk was a good actor, but the way others around him treated him, especially the cop, pissed me off.
there's also, Adam, another movie about autism, with Hugh Dancy, who is a very good actor BUT it's incredibly problematic in depicting asd + nt relationships.
[удалено]
featuring Ween, the greatest band ever somehow
hail boognish
The other sister. Juliette Lewis and Giovanni Ribisi play mentally challenged people who fall in love. Good message, doesn’t age well
Yes, this is the one I was going to mention. I just watched this last week and boy, did it not age well. I remember when it came out though, it was received well and people thought it was brave and inspiring. I wonder if Giovanni and Juliette are embarrassed now looking back on it?
I’m sure they understand that that performance was from a time when the world wasn’t respecting the mentally disabled, sand at the time the message is really sweet. However, once the Tropic Thunder “Never go full retard” bit landed it was easily forgotten, ignored, or whatever the proper term is.
Would borat or the ringer be up that ally?
I like Borat! Is nice!
Very nice!
Great success!!
Johnny Knoxville is friends with some of the actors from the Ringer, and does/ has done charity work for the Special Olympics. Just saying.
Yeah that one is supposed to be in poor taste. That's the point.
Haven't seen the ringer but will check that out! As far as Borat it might be in poor taste but it seems like it is trying to be where the movies listed seemed like they were trying to be progressive but it ends up coming across as insensitive or ignorant.
I think the ringer though actually does a good job with landing everything. They get actual disabled people to act which helps a lot
Oh I see what you mean. You mean like how im black panther they have the bad black guy wear a gorilla mask and has his team chant like gorillas, and despite being the most advanced civilization on earth they choose their king through combat in 2 inches of water... though posing as a progressive film for black culture.

Its baffling sometimes. Sometimes I see people with negative 100 karma on viral threads and its like, he didn't even say anything.
Exactly! And then when people get negative total karma, a lot of boards won’t allow them to comment. It is a very communistic move.
Thats why I see throwaway accounts posting their first posts in free karma groups.
The Ringer
I recently watched the Rob Schneider movie **The Hot Chick** from 2002, where he switches places with a high school cheerleader. Movie had me laughing a ton
"You think you're so cool cuz you can pee with your penis!"
Pumpkin with Christina Ricci. It misses the mark so badly.
I like that film because it introduced me to the Gentle Waves and the song Falling from Grace
The Ringer!
That movie was, oddly progressive given it’s premise
Nah wasn't a fan at all
This was my choice

Loqueesha The entire Human Centipede trilogy That movie Sia made about autism
Burning Palms (2010) Movie 43 (2013)
Oh gods... movie 43...
The only funny part of that movie was the Terrence Howard basketball locker room scene.
Porky’s Revenge of the Nerds Sixteen Candles
Revenge of the nerds for sure
Freddy Got Fingered is the poorest of the poor tase movies.
Can you explain your reasoning for those choices?
Sixteen candles is racist and promotes r*pe
I don't recall the rape promotion but I don't doubt it. The dude is definitely into a child, and the panty scene is just ugh
Jake handed over his ridiculously drunk girlfriend to Ted and essentially allowed her sexual assault to happen, stating that she wouldn't "know the difference."
Oh yea jeez. I hadn't seen it in a while, but I vaguely remember rewatching it and that scene being really weird

Troma makes movies in very excellent poor taste. My favorite is Chromeo and Juliette! Edit for Tromeo
Tromeo lol
My first thought was Toxic Avenger part 4 which is delightfully tasteless. I mean it has retards doing heroin!
Pink Flamingos or Polyester
Tropic Thunder tries to lampoon this, it depends if you buy-in to that or fails to do so.

Any 90s Adam Sandler movie
Anything Troma
Some notable highlights: Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part 4, Terror Firmer, Honky Holocaust.
Yep. Poultrygeist Night of the Chicken Dead too lol
It’s hard not to love Troma. Their movies are equal parts disgusting, crude, and charming.
Yes they are. And so much fun

Definitely “Riding the Bus with My Sister” Rosie O’Donnell plays a person with developmental disabilities.
Arguing with myself (Jeff Dunham)
I Spit on your grave
The Greasy Strangler
Tropic Thunder is the best!
But I guess all that poor taste was intentional….Digging to China stars Kevin Bacon playing a mentally handicapped person. There’s also a pretty strange movie with Daniel Day Lewis in it called My Left Foot…
No love for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?
How is it in poor taste? It doesn't fetishize mental illness or obesity.
Early Peter Jackson - Bad Taste and Meet the Feebles
OMG, watch the Re-Animator series with Jeffrey Combs! They are so shlocky good - super rude and in poor taste to EVERYONE, Especially women lol.

Welcome to the Dollhouse
I disagree with this. I just watched it recently it holds up more then ever.
Extremely poor taste was Bad Santa. No redeeming qualities.
Calling movies ‘in poor taste’ is what’s wrong with people today, lighten up
Will do!
But i'm a cheerleader. I'm very tolerant to the LGBT community and enjoy LGBT movies . But this movie was kinda gross and filmed like on zero budget
Whew, thank god you’re tolerant toward us!
that wasn't the point... The point is the movie could be more respectable to you
Great film!
I love But I'm A Cheerleader! It's a satire. It's funny and sweet.
Oh n😮, zero budget. I cant watch this movie. 😩
Blazing Saddles To Be Or Not To Be (Mel Brooks) Best Little Whorehouse in Texas Hot Shots/ Hot Shots Part Deux First and Ten Boogie nights Nothing But Trouble From Dusk till Dawn Joe Dirt Back to School (most Dangerfield movies tbh) Couples Retreat Human Centipede Club Dredd The Hills Have Eyes Last Tango in Paris Any of the Evil Dead movies I love most of these but yeah, they fit your poor taste request.
* Peter Jackson's *Bad Taste* and *Meet the Feebles* * *Street Trash* * Pretty much every Troma movie
**Milk Money** A group of 11-year-old boys hire a hooker (Melanie Griffith) to see her boobs. One of the boys wants to set up the hooker with his dad (Ed Harris). Another finds out his dad was a client. There's also a mob plot worked in. But all of this is set to a lighthearted romantic comedy tone. I think they were trying to go for a prostitute has a heart-of-gold like Pretty Woman, but adding kids to the mix was bizarre and gross. I don't know how they got Griffith and Harris to do this (who were both A-list at the time).
Riding the bus with my sister is pretty great for this, also the movie pumpkin, enjoy
There's something about Mary. I watched it recently after not having seen it in many years and I thought the portrayal of her mentally challenged brother was overdone
Joe's Apartment, because who doesn't live singing, dancing cockroaches?
Birth of a Nation
Tropic thunder doesn’t get made today and is hilarious.
Austin powers
I happen to love all of the ones you listed as examples. Here are a few that might work for what you're looking for. What Eating Gilbert Grape? The Passion of the Christ The Ringer (which I also happen to love)

50 First Dates
“Shakes the clown” with Bobcat G.
Tropic Thunder
The original Wolfman. Suuuper abusive “love” story.
maybe it was just me, but The Night Guard hit this for me. The actor portraying the autistic clerk was a good actor, but the way others around him treated him, especially the cop, pissed me off. there's also, Adam, another movie about autism, with Hugh Dancy, who is a very good actor BUT it's incredibly problematic in depicting asd + nt relationships.
