A little bit of polanski movie viewing guilt can be leveraged out, he made all his good movies before doing the child rape.

The pianist is an amazing movie that I watched before I knew about Polanski the person.

Fair warning, I’m not a great poster, but I know lots of folks on here are. I would like to hear people’s thoughts on watching content with artistic input from controversial people.

I think just saying "Controversial" is underselling it almost to the point of dishonesty when you're talking about Polanski, Spacey, etc. More accurate would be "lovely dudes" (can't help but noting they are all men) or perhaps more simply "Bad people who make good art."

First Blood examined PTSD and the horrible way the US treated returning Vietnam vets,

Actually that part of rambo has been roundly criticized in recent years.

PTSD and vagrancy sure, but the "spit on me and call me baby killer" bit has not really been part of contemporaneous accounts
