Hey, how about a fun trip to Abu Dabi?

I know the context you’re using, but Abu Dabi is very generous in overlooking cultural improprieties for people with lots of money to spend. They ask for discretion and will draw the line at blatant abuse of their hospitality.

    The mother’s frivolous hobby that kept her from her children was VOTES FOR WOMEN! which a lot of people did think was frivolous in the world of the movie, but that it went without comment in a movie made in 1964 was more realism than I am comfortable with.

  10. Smokey & the Bandit (1977)

The plot involves Cledus Snow and the Bandit driving a truck of Coors beer to Atlanta. Because Coors wasn’t pasteurized, the company was not licensed to sell it east of the Mississippi, hence why it was such a big deal. Coors was nationally distributed starting in 1986.

Pass.
