Famous Movies That Would Never Get Made Today

Certain nostalgic movies can transport you back to a simpler time in life, when social media didn’t exist, and when jokes had far wider boundaries. In recent years, however, revisionist historians have called out nostalgic impropriety, and what today would be regarded as inappropriate content matter.

Even classic movie scenes containing scantily clad women are often considered “out of touch.” In light of the stark societal contrast between today and yesteryear, these iconic movies haven’t aged well, and would almost certainly not be made today…

The Love Guru (2008)

The Love Guru stars comedic actor Mike Myers and Jessica Alba. The plot has Myers as a Canadian white man acting as an Indian love guru. The movie was such an epic failure commercially that it nearly sank Myers’ career. 

Aside from audiences finding issues with Myers’ character from the start, Alba’s adoption of Indian garb would likely be seen as cultural appropriation. One scene that would raise eyebrows has two elephants getting together at the hockey game.
