Grease
A beloved 1950s-set high school musical packed with catchy songs and energetic dancing, but also carrying a significant load of sexual references, substance use, and dated gender dynamics that skew older than its nostalgic reputation suggests. Adults revisiting it for younger viewers are often surprised by how much they had forgotten.

The male lead becomes aggressive and pushes his girlfriend down in the car seat, kissing her forcibly until she fights him off; the scene frames this as a misunderstanding rather than seriously problematic behavior.
The song contains strong sexual innuendo and crude language, including explicit slang terms, though younger viewers may not catch the references.
The girls taunt a character for being a virgin, a panty flash occurs, and the group discusses sex and relationships with frank language.
