Times change, and so do values and sensibilities. That means that things we found funny in decades past, we are rightfully offended by today. That doesn't mean that all movies, and all the jokes in those movies, should be dismissed completely, but it does mean we should probably not revisit those jokes in new movies, be they remakes or otherwise. This list is all about those movies that were hits at the time, movies beloved by an older generation, but would never be made today.

College is often the most fun four years in a young person's life. Sometimes it's even more than four years. It's that time in life that is between high school and living under your parents' rules, and adulthood, when you have to live under society's rules. It's a brief interregnum when the rules are loosened and the party is on. There are a lot of great college movies out there reflecting this. Classics like Animal House, The Waterboy, Back To School, and many others.

If you're like me, you have a dark streak in your sense of humor. There is really nothing too twisted that can't be laughed at if it's presented in the right way. It's really hard for movies to get this right, but when they do, it's nothing short of brilliant. It might be cynical, but laughing at the worst things we deal with is a better way to deal with those things. Pretending they don't exist is even worse.

Comedian Bill Hicks was only 32 years old when he died of pancreatic cancer in 1994. It's hard to believe he's been gone for almost as long as he was here on Earth. What isn't hard to believe is just how relevant his insightful humor still is today. Hicks wasn't your standard stand up comedian. He was a philosopher as much as he was a comic. He was nihilistic, angry, depressing, and often, totally correct with his dark view of the world.

Movies about extreme survival go back to the dawn of Hollywood. Survival comes in many forms. It could be on a deserted island or a deserted planet. It may be in a jail or as a prisoner of war. There are many ways characters have to survive dangerous and arduous situations, and these movies will leave you white knuckling it until they either escape, get rescued, or perish trying to do either.
