What movies haven't aged well?
 
I'm having a hard time thinking of an example but anytime I see a flip phone, that sticks out to me.
 
Yeah Blazing Saddles definitely hasn't aged well, it was the only movie that came to mind when I first read the topic title. :V
 
"Chasing Amy" (1997) has been criticized by some viewers for erasing bisexuality and spreading harmful stereotypes about being gay.
 
Mrs Doubtfire. Today, Daniel Hillard would never see the world as a free man again.
 

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Let’s be honest, Mickey Rooney as a Japanese neighbor wasn’t okay in 1961.
 
The Breakfast Club (1985) normalized Claire being sexually harassed by Bender.
 
GhostBusters films :) I mean they got the future right, just :)
 

Police Academy – Homophobic humor

Like many 80s comedies, the whole Police Academy series uses unfortunately common gay slurs. Even the innocent billl and ted are guilty of it. In Police Academy, Mahoney (Steve Guttenberg) is mistaken for giving Lassard (George Gaynes) oral sex and it’s considered a huge embarrassment not for the sex but for being gay. The whole series uses the Blue Oyster gay bar as a punchline, punishing the heel characters by sending them there.
