What are some old movies that you used to enjoy but now cringe when watching?

Asked by janbb (62877points) October 4th, 2020

This is an adjunct to rockfan’s question about old movies that hold up well. I recently watched Gunga Din with Sam Jaffe as Gunga Din (!) and was dismayed by the patronizing racism of the film. Other films seem overly sexist although clearly many have outdated sexism in them but are still watch worthy. And of course, there is much smoking.

We have to accept some degree of outdated ideas to enjoy many old movies but I’m wondering about the ones you found really gag-worthy when revisiting them.
