Shallow Hal's message is more relevant then ever in this age of social media tbh. The fat jokes are important cause thats reality still esp online. People are judging people online based purely on appearances to the point where girls apply a million filters on their pics and guys are judged as unworthy if they look unattractive when you don't even know his personality at all.

Gwyneth Paltrow described in an interview or two how, during a few lunch breaks during filming of Shallow Hal, she'd go (still in costume) into a local restaurant or bar/grille, and no one (except the servers, I assume) looked at her or talked to her or paid her a lick of attention. "I was totally invisible" she said, and she said the experience shocked her. She claimed it gave her a view of what overweight people go through every day.

Well she's used to being a celebrity and was basically in disguise. People generally don't look around at and talk to strangers in restaurants. But that sounds like the type of thing Insufferable Gwyneth would say in interviews to try and sound like she was saving the world rather than being in a comedy. Plus there was some controversy about her in a fat suit at the time so I'm assuming she tried to deflect some of it by pretending to be an advocate.

I like re-watching it to get my spirit raised. I'm overweight, but I used to be obese. Even though I wasn't as big as Rosemary, I could relate. Of course, people in this movie depreciate Rosemary's beauty (like Hal's friend or even Rosemary's dad) - but that's just a depiction of how people act in real life. What is more, such a behavior is frowned upon by the movie. "Shallow Hal" was ahead of its times, spreading the idea if body positivity (especially when they showed a guy with a hunchback, who embraced his body). And the protagonist himself went through a change from a shallow to deep person. Honestly, I don't know why "Shallow Hal" couldn't be remade today. In fact, I think we need more movies like this.

@@dominikamagdalena9638 I agree. Also, the video implies that it was wrong to have Gwyneth Paltrow in the lead role and wearing a fat suit. She's a well known actress so it's not surprising that she would have the lead role, and there was a body double used in some scenes; the body double was a woman who actually was overweight. On top of that, I read once that while she was preparing for her role in the movie, Gwyneth Paltrow would often go out in public wearing the fat suit, and she would often be the target of cruel comments or be ignored completely. She said it really opened her eyes to how overweight people get treated.
Personally I think MsMojo missed a lot of key points in many of these movies. Farrelly brothers always hires actors with special needs for their movies, and their messages is always about inclusion and acceptance. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry sought advice from GLADD before they made the movie and Adam Sandler had made that movie to bring to light discrimination that same sex couples had to face during that time. It’s something that he spoke out about when the movie first came out.
In MMI, he didn't have schizophrenia. He had dissociative identity disorder.
Interesting that MsMojo cut the Weird Science clip just before Wyatt and Gary gave Lisa a brain with an IQ well over 220.
The reason I wouldn't want Gone with the Wind remade is because it is one of the greatest movies of all time.

"Gone with the Wind" was vitally important to the era of its production, bringing the tormented reality of slavery and the Civil War South to life in CinemaScope fashion... the plotline may be about Scarlet and Rhett, but the story is about what happens around them... and the film portrays that viscerally, i.e., Rhett's "canons" speech about war, the burning of Atlanta, the flight back to Tara, the Reconstruction Tara all speak closely to Margaret Mitchell's point in the novel... KDM
As a plus size woman, I actually like Shallow Hal. To me it showed a positivity for plus size woman and that to the right person they won't care what size you are.

Gone With The Wind -- the book and the movie -- are masterpieces, not cringe-worthy embarrassments relegated to the trash heap. Producer David O. Selznick went to great lengths to ensure that the black actors and characters were treated with respect and not demeaned or insulted. To remake it and then randomly throw in arbitrary anti-slavery themes and scenes would be to "wokify" the movie and depart from the original story.

Gone with the Wind depicts the South the way it was from a white southerner's point of view. It shows the horror of slavery in another way because seeing the noble way the black characters behave just drives home the inhumanity of slavery. I think it's important for American kids to watch it with adults pointing out how badly the white people behave in this movie and how Scarlett O'Harrah got what she deserves in the end.

I agree movies should make us think but these selections are just tired rehashes of stereotypes, not thoughtful explorations of issues. And even worse, they are stereotypes of people who are especially vulnerable and generally powerless. That's why most of these movies are lazily written and not very good -- it is so easy to make fun of the helpless. The only exception would be Gone with the Wind, which had the opportunity to really examine the Civil War but chose to replace history with myth. After all, author Margaret Mitchell grew up in the Jim Crow South.

I know the movie had a remake in 2011 with Russell Brand, but the reason is that the main character’s alcoholism is the running joke throughout the movie.

Gone With the Wind simply should not be made today because it's also a classic and you'll never have that cast again. Also, Hollywood shells out way too much money to do poor reboots with actors and actors who aren't half as as talented. You also cannot erase history. ALSO, the kindest and most tender characters - aside from Melanie - were the *black* characters. Hattie McDaniel shattered ceilings, and you cannot remake it because remaking it would mean erasing parts of history we shouldn't forget.

Personally, I think the song from "Song Of The South" is still one of Disney's best. When I was a kid my grandparents had a VHS copy of this movie, I used to watch it a lot. The movie taught me that just because you're in a bad situation doesn't mean that you have to let it affect you in a negative way. Sure it was racist at times, but it had a lot of valuable teaching points that helped me see people for who they are instead of just what color they are. It helped teach me that every life has value, and something to offer society even if society doesn't want it. I can't remember the gentleman's name who starred in this (in my opinion) life altering movie that teaches people how to be happy on your own terms. I think it's criminal that this movie was one of the first if not the very first movie with a black man as the star of the show. His performance was transcendent and elevated black people from just small side roles, to leading roles. It kicked the door's open for black actors to be seen as equals instead of inferior. This movie should be applauded for it's advancements in helping break the color barrier in movie's instead of being treated like garbage. Sorry for the rant, but this is an injustice for the actors who we're giving it their all just for 80 year's later people saying that because the movie had racial theme's that it should be discredited from the history. It could be such a teaching tool, but because people get their feelings hurt over the stupidest things. People I think we have to talk to each other about things, not bash each other over things we don't understand about each other. Peace and love y'all 🤟

John Hughes later wrote and created Home Alone (1990) as a good alternative which he hired the director of Adventures in Babysitting, Chris Columbus, to release the film in theaters since it had a kid friendly PG rating (for family friendly violence that the main boy character, portrayed by Macaulay Culkin, had been building normal sized mouse traps to catch the notorious wet bandits, who had been going to other people’s houses, but Culkin was aided by Old Man Marley)

Yeah well, look at movies like Django Unchained. You wouldn’t think that that would be made today and it was even though it’s already 10 years old
The Party (Peter Sellers in brown face for the entire film) should have been number one
Nah the only reason they won’t be able to remake Me, Myself and Irene is because it’s an absolute CLASSIC and Jim Carey and Renee (not going to try to spell her name) set the bar way too high for anyone else to be able to redo.

I think it's fine that they used a skinny woman in shallow Hal, because it kept consistency. You wouldn't be able to have a very overweight woman also play a very thin woman, so it worked out that way because she could play both parts. But ultimately I think it was a good movie. It's about looking inside at yourself and accepting who you are as much as it is about accepting others as they are
This is history. Shall we pretend that this was not happened or how certain situations were seen at that day or time.

No, in fact, even with the humor of said times, some movies wanted to give baby steps towards conversations about serios topics before those were studied, analyzed or even discussed with today’s seriousness.

At the time I saw a lot of films of the 70's and 80's, I was not offended, just laughing my butt off. Sure, some of these may offend today, but I'm glad I'm an old broad (65) who didn't have to be "PC" and experienced some of the funniest films ever. 😂😂😂 And, yes, I have many friends of different races and cultures, and we all found our films very funny. We weren't offended by everything.
I love 💓 shallow Hal good message it doesn't matter how u look on the outside or how much u weight u are supposed to love someone for the heart ❤️ and personality not judge people by what is on the outside in this shallow superficial vain world 🌍 I wish everyone in the world 🌍 would learn and live by this not be superficial and shallow!!!

I'm pleased to see you skipped Blazing Saddles entirely, though I wouldn't presume to remake it either...
Surprised the actual rape from Revenge of the Nerds wasn’t mentioned.
I hope movies like the Goonies, the Great Outdoors, Spaceballs, Down Periscope, the Sandlot, and Back to the Future never get remade. They are all classics that deserve to stay that way, no matter what.

Richard Pryor's 1982 film was a remake of the 1976 French comedy with Pierre Richard, Le Jouet. The French didn't make a remake of the American comedy, but their own 1976 original film.

If you have "Hogan's Heroes" on this list because it doesn't address the Holocaust, most Allied POWs in Germany had no idea what was happening in the concentration camps. What's more, most Luftwaffe officers - such as Col. Klink - had little idea as well because the Nazis didn't want them spilling the beans if they were shot down and captured. Also, Werner Klemperer (Col. Klink) was the son of Jewish Germans who escaped in the '30s, and he insisted that the Germans in the show never succeeded in their schemes to purposely make them look incompetent.
Here is one. Moving with Richard Pryor. The scene when Stacey Dash is tied up and gagged in the basement as punishment. Or the scene when Randy Quaid is berating the paperboy.

I love soul Man and I think it's one of the greatest movies ever. Also people should be a shame for what they did to song of the South, that was one of my favorite movies growing up and I even went to see Uncle Remus cabin. So that you all know yes he was a real person and he is loved unlike the people of today. He was our inspiration that's how all we little white children learn things.

To quote a person : Comedy should provoke! It should blast through prejudices, challenge preconceptions! Comedy should always leave you different than when it found you. Sure, humor can hurt, even alienate, but the risk is better than the alternative: a steady diet of innocuous, child-proof, flavorless mush! Demand to be challenged, to be offended, to be treated like thinking, reasoning adults. And raise your children to be the same. Don't let a comedian, a network, a Congressional committee, or an evil genius take away your freedom to laugh at whatever you want.
