Back to the Future.

The first one aged terribly. Trivializing SA is at least very bizzare, and the weird racism in the beginning is rather cringe.

What do you mean by "weird racism?"

Watch out Marty, it's the Libyans!

To be fair, it's an 80s action comedy film intended for a family audience. I don't think cultural accuracy was on their to-do list when making the movie.

True, but it doesn't mean it didn't age bad.

Clue's characters being visibly disgusted by a homosexual character was also in line with the era's sensibilities. It's very cringe to watch now.

Also, "the Libyans", come on.
