    Saturday Night Fever? Strange considering the following happens in that:

    - A cutie Tony has a crush on puts her hand out to show him condoms
    - A semi-graphic exchange between her and Tony where he asks her if she's a "nice girl" or a "pig"
    - An anti-gay joke told as two gay guys walk by
    - A brief car sex scene
    - A loud "Well FU CK YOU!" Tony gives to his boss cuz his boss won't let him take off from work to compete in the big dance contest at 2000
    - A hate crime before the classification where Tony, Double J, Bobby C, and their putzy Christian Slater weakling sidekick attack a Puerto Rican gang who ALLEGEDLY put their pal in the hospital
    - A thread of xenophobia and insularity Tony's love interest and then ultimately Tony fled Brooklyn to escape from

    Can someone PLEASE sabotage one of these kiddie movie nights with Cape Fear 1991, Casino for the record f-bombs, Taxi Driver etc. Any of DeNiro's darker films that'd make the parents pick up the kids and get outta there LOL.
