There isn't one single "most inappropriate" movie on Disney+, as "inappropriate" is subjective and Disney+ hosts content from various studios with different ratings (PG, PG-13, R), but often flagged older films like Lady and the Tramp for outdated stereotypes, while newer acquisitions like Deadpool (R-rated) push boundaries with adult themes, violence, and language, all depending on what a user or parent finds unsuitable.
Content ratings and advisories will be provided for all Disney+ content prior to pressing play. Parents are advised to accompany children during the film, as some material may be unsuitable for viewers under 12. Content may include some depictions of violence and inappropriate language.
Content is restricted to viewers 18 and over only (18+)
Content may include explicit sexual activity, violence, and drug usage.

A Z-grade movie is an extremely low-budget film, even worse than a B-movie, characterized by terrible production quality, bad acting, poor scripts, and obvious mistakes (like crew members in shot). These films often lack professionalism, sometimes making unintentional comedy that gives them cult status, appealing to audiences who enjoy "so bad it's good" cinema.
“R” stands for "Restricted." This is the first rating that includes a strict rule: “Under 17 Requires Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian.” That means no one under 17 can watch an R-rated movie in a theater without having an adult with them.
There's no single "number one movie" as it depends on the criteria, but James Cameron's Avatar (2009) is the highest-grossing film worldwide unadjusted for inflation. When adjusting for inflation, Gone with the Wind (1939) is often cited as number one, while The Shawshank Redemption (1994) is consistently rated the top movie by users on IMDb based on critical acclaim and audience votes.
