You often hear the phrase “They Couldn’t Make That Movie Today!” about a movie that they could. What movies from the past could they LITERALLY not make today?

The one that pops to my mind is from 1984: “Blame It On Rio”, where middle-aged Michael Caine has a sexual relationship with his co-worker’s teenage daughter while on vacation in Brazil.

In fact, most of the late-70s to mid-80s teenage sex comedies couldn’t be made today due to hightened sensibilities about exploitation.

Any others?
