*[[Million Dollar Baby]]
:A 2004 [[Clint Eastwood]] pro-[[euthanasia]] film in which Eastwood euthanasies his boxing trainee at her request after she suffered a crippling blow from her opponent that left her incurable. Especially controversial since 2005 when real life [[Terri ShiavoSchiavo]] was euthanasied by her husband.
*[[Kinsey]]
:Also 2004. A [[Bill Condon]] film depicting the life of fraudulent sex researcher [[Alfred Kinsey]]. Especially anti-Christian in early scenes' portrayals of Christians as narrow-minded, hypocritical, mean-spirited and stingy. Normalizes all forms of illict sex, esp. homosexual(of which condon is an activist for), which resulted in the epidemics of current [[STDsvenereal disease]] epidemics (i.e. [[AIDS]]), widespread [[abortion]], [[divorce]], [[pornography]], [[sex crimes]] and [[unmarried parenting]] and related urban poverty and violence by irresponsible parents.
*[[Brokeback Mountain]]
:....is also extremely graphic in [[homosexual]] behavior and pro-homosexual story of an off and on "romance" from the 1960s onward between two rural [[Wyoming]] cowboys.
*[[Fahrenheit 911]]
*[[Ingrid Bergman]], Swedish actress who achieved U.S. fame in the 1940s with ''[[Casablanca]]'' (1942) and ''[[The Bells Of St. Mary's]]'' (1945). In 1950, Ingrid, who was married to fellow Swede, Peter Lindstrom, had an affair with director Roberto Rosellini while in Italy while filming Rosellini's direction, ''[[Stromboli]]'' (1950) and stayed in Italy after becoming pregnant with his child. This caused Ingrid to be blacklisted from U.S. films for several years and denounced from pulpits as "an agent of evil" until her comeback in ''[[Anastasia]]'' (1956). Her marriage to Rosellini, like the one to Lindstrom, ended in divorce, as did her third and last marriage to Lars Schmidt. Bergman died August 29, 1982 in London on the night of her 67th birthday.
*[[Humphrey Bogart]], His first three marriages ended in divorce and his fourth (to [[Lauren Bacall]]) was the only one ending in death-his from throat cancer in 1957, age 51.
*[[Joan Crawford]] (real name Lucille Fay LeSueur), last of Hollywood's "movie queens" with roles spanning 45 years (1925-1970, most of her popularity in the 1930s) and long since a [[homosexual]] icon, was married and divorced three times. Her fourth and last marriage to Pepsi Company's president Alfred Steele was the only one ending in death (his in 1959). When Joan died in 1977 at 72, her public disinheriting of her two oldest remaining adopted children from her $2M estate "for reasons that should be well known to them" was said to have caused her oldest daughter, Christina, to write her best-selling book ''[[Mommie Dearest]]'' (1978), which alleged a lifetime of [[extramarital affairs]], [[alcoholism]] and selfishness-induced [[child abuse]] at a time when child abuse was rarely talked about in public. Unfortunately, like her adoptive mother, Christina Crawford also got married and divorced three timesin her own lifetime.*[[Frances Farmer]], who as a [[public school]]er in 1931, denied God in a controversial award winning high school essay and in 1935, visited the [[USSR]], was also popular in the 1930s to the point of being considered "the next [[Greta Garbo]]", had three marriages all at least two of whom ended in divorce, with extramarital affairs during at least one that included one with married writer Clifford Odets. She also had multiple [[abortions]] when abortion was illegal; the guilt of which caused her to avoid all contact with children. In 1968, however, while living in [[Indianapolis]] for the previous ten years (she died there in 1970, at age 56) a friend's child whispered to her that she was "good", something that nobody ever said or thought about her before. Soon afterwards, she went to [[St Joan of Arc]] Catholic Church in West Lafayette where she [[confess]]ed her sins and took up classes about and was eventually baptized into the Catholic faith, turning away from her former lifestyle.
*[[Judy Garland]], best known as "Dorothy Gale" in ''[[The Wizard Of Oz]]'' had five marriages, the first four ended in divorce, the last ended in her death from a barbituate O.D. only three months later in ([[London]]) in 1969 at age 46.
*[[Florence Henderson]], despite her wholesome Carol Brady image (on ''[[The Brady Bunch]]''), fell victim to these values ([[adultery]]) during during her first marriage to Ira Bernstein in the late 1960s and early 1970s in an affair with [[New York City]]'s then-mayor John Lindsay, who she claims gave her crab lice. She divorced Berstein in 1985 and married John Kappas in 1987, which lasted until his death in 2002.
*[[Katharine Hepburn]], whose movie and TV career spanned over 60 years, entered into a economic-motivated marriage in 1928 at age 21 that ended in divorce in 1941, after about 13 years. Shortly afterwards, she entered into an adulterous relationships with her agent, [[Leland Hayward]] and with [[Howard Hughes]] and [[Spencer Tracy]], the latter for 26 years until Tracy's death in 1967 at 67. The only "respect" Katharine had for Spencer's marriage was that she didn't attend Spencer's funeral.
*[[Lana Turner]] All seven of her marriages ended in divorce and at least one [[annulment]].
*''American Pie'' - a long-running film franchise primarily dealing with teenage sex and alcohol; it relies on jokes about sex and bodily functions
*''Jackass'' - These films are essentially montages of ridiculous stunts and pranks with no coherent story
*''[[Beavis and Butthead]] '' 1990s MTV series and its 1996 [[movie]] adaptation(..."Do America") make fun of injuries and their related suffering and, in the movie version, "moons" (expose themselves to) [[nuns]].*[[Mel Brooks]] ''History of The World Part I'' makes fun of , among other things, the suffering of [[Jews]] under the [[Spanish Inquistion]]and shows France's King [[Louis XVI]] (played by Brooks) using real humans as skeet targets for his target practice games, while saying hypocritically "I detest violence".*''[[South Park]] '' - uses constant iterations of urine, feces, farting and shock humor, such as jokes about [[abortion]], [[rape]] and the [[Holocaust]].
*''There's Something About Mary'' - contains gratuitous sex and jokes about bodily functions
*''[[Family Guy]]'' - notorious for its shock tactics, this show routinely employs willful tastelessness for comedic shock value. Examples include one regular character who is a pedophile, as well as constant Hitler jokes.
*''Harold and Kumar'' films - the adventures of the pot-smoking duo that play up ethnic stereotypes.
*''Californication''- a filthy show about a man who has multiple sex partners.
