These films were products of their time.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Given the changing standards and values in Hollywood, several iconic movies would likely come out very differently if they were made today. That's only natural, considering that filmmaking is meant to evolve and shift with the years. Every decade has its classic releases which endure, not only as great movies, but as defining cultural moments.
9 Gone With The Wind For better or worse, Gone with the Wind is one of the biggest films ever made. The romantic epic, based off the literary phenomenon, is nearly four hours long, won 10 Oscars, and still holds the record for the highest grossing film of all time . However, the film’s plot is marred by controversies that are extremely difficult to reconcile with contemporary attitudes.
6 Jaws Special effects have come a long way since Jaws. The film’s production was plagued with problems, the most infamous of which is the faulty mechanical shark. Originally, the shark was supposed to feature far more prominently in Jaws, but the model shark kept breaking down in the water, so it barely features in the film, resulting in a strikingly powerful atmosphere of dread for the unseen creature. It’s one of the most iconic stories of a film being improved by limitation.
