Share your favorite outdated cultural depictions from old movies (images, quotes, scenes, etc.). I'll get the ball rolling with this "what the actual" from the Wizard of Oz:

"A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others"
 
Spears and other types of pole arms do not get the representation in Hollywood and video games that they deserve. Throughout much of history the sword was a sidearm, a back-up weapon, but is commonly portrayed as a primary weapon in Hollywood.

The Peter Pan mermaids scene (I'm skipping the native American scene because it's so obvious) was pretty brutal:

It features so almost unbelievable female stereotypes all the way around. Peter Pan is pretty rough on its depiction of basically all female characters, including Tink and Wendy. All of them are just absolutely infatuated with pan, and insanely jealous and cruel toward all women they see as threats to their shot at the alpha male.
