If we're talking like, a movie with national screenings, then probably any musical thats not a satire. I admit that my movie knowledge is poor due to so much television knowledge, but when was the last time there was a sound of music, Jesus Chris Superstar or Fantasia?

Barring blatant propaganda, none. There's plenty of movies today that are just as un-pc as all these, if not more so. If anything, stuff today pushes the boundaries a lot more as attitudes and censorship have relaxed somewhat.

"Mickey Rooney's Asian character in Breakfast at Tiffany's wouldn't fly today either."
Oh you mean the one that Bruce feels all offended by in the Dragon the Bruce Lee Story.
One more thing I dont like about the Bruce Lee movie they made.
I dont know where Bruce and Linda went on a date but I hope it wasnt to see Breakfast at Tiffany's.

No, we're talking more along the lines of Movies that went off without a hitch at the time they were made, but would be considered "indecent" or "politically incorrect".

South Park: The Movie, Rent, there's a couple out there.

Good artsy softcore. Like those old Emanuelle movies or The Seduction of Angela.
Softcore seems laughable today with the dumbest plots.

and the above postings about all the musicals shows how little I really know about movies. I will go back to my closet now.

Birth of a Nation One of the first blockbusters about the KKK saving the south from black people... seriously I saw two inches out of that really really long movie. Not only is it badly made (even for the time), it's so racist, it makes most comedians look like Martin Luther King.

I would say Dolemite films might be considered very racist

Battle Royale, which is actually true; the remake got pulled due to the V-Tech shootings.

Dumbo would be changed at the very least, given the Jim Crow characters.
Lots of Bugs Bunny's old stuff would never make into today's theatre's, including the infamous Bug's Nips the Nips.
None of the Censored Eleven would have a shot on making it any theatre.
Any film using yellow-face would be unlikely in today's cinema.
The animated Peter Pan would likely not be featured given the depiction of the American Indians.
