Movies that haven't aged well

"Chasing Amy" (1997) has been criticized by some viewers for erasing bisexuality and spreading harmful stereotypes about being gay.
 

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Let’s be honest, Mickey Rooney as a Japanese neighbor wasn’t okay in 1961.
 
The Breakfast Club (1985) normalized Claire being sexually harassed by Bender.
 

Police Academy – Homophobic humor

Like many 80s comedies, the whole Police Academy series uses unfortunately common gay slurs. Even the innocent billl and ted are guilty of it. In Police Academy, Mahoney (Steve Guttenberg) is mistaken for giving Lassard (George Gaynes) oral sex and it’s considered a huge embarrassment not for the sex but for being gay. The whole series uses the Blue Oyster gay bar as a punchline, punishing the heel characters by sending them there.
