and now the top 10 most conservative movies...
The Alamo (1960)
Conservatives seem to have annihilation fantasies. Both versions deal with freedom vs. tyranny. The rights of individuals vs. the government. The original was produced by John Wayne. ‘nuf said.
Patton (1970)
Watch the flag scene. It was a shot at the anti-war movement. This was Richard Nixon’s favorite film. Watching this movie makes one wish Patton could visit the Dixie Chicks.
Dirty Harry (1971)
San Francisco is fully of lawless long hairs. Clint Eastwood shoots them. End of problem. Law and Order vs. Lawlessness. Rule of Law vs. If it feels good do it. GI Generation vs. Baby Boomers. While liberals see all conservatives as Gordon Gecko from Wall Street, Conservatives see liberals as either Scorpio from Dirty Harry or the soldier that George C. Scott bitch slaps in Patton.
Ghostbusters (1984)
The villain is an EPA bureaucrat. This is the counterpoint to Wall Street!
Red Dawn (1984)
The counterpoint to Reds. Commies are not our friends! Instead of beer hall rallies, it’s pistols on the American plains. The film is a two hour infomercial for the 2nd Amendment.
Forrest Gump (1994)
Gump contrasts the two versions of the baby boom generation. This film shows the negative side of the 60s and liberalism. Liberals die of AIDS and at the same time, hard work and perseverance can make anyone a shrimp millionaire!
Braveheart (1995)
Freedom is not free. Sometimes, you have to fight. Governments and kings can be the oppressor.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (2001-2003)
Tolkien was a conservative and this is loosely based on World War II. Classic good vs. evil. Listen to any of the monologues. They are straight out of the Churchill-Reagan files. This really fit the post 911 world and struck a chord with audiences.
Cinderella Man (2005)
Russell Crowe is embarrassed to be on government assistance. He works hard to get out of poverty and help his family. He even pays the government back.
300 (2006)
This might be the most conservative movie ever made. Leonidas (George W Bush) sees the coming Persian (Islamic Terrorist) threat and moves to stop it. He has to deal with traitors at home (liberals) and within his own midst (bureaucrats and the media). Leonidas and the 300 go down like the GOP in 2006 and 2008. The movie ends with a highnote as the Greeks unite to defeat Xerxes (Osama Bin Laden).
