Top Five Conservative Films of 2012
Big Hollywood ^ | December 8, 2012 | Zachary Leeman

The last 12 months may have been disappointing overall for conservatives. However, film-wise, it was actually a pretty good year.

Many mainstream films took obvious conservative stances and conservative documentaries like "Occupy Unmasked" and "Hating Breitbart" were aplenty, informing and entertaining their audiences. I thought I would take a moment to share my favorite conservative films of 2012. Afterward, feel free to share yours in the comments. Note: this list does not include documentary films.

1. "The Dark Knight Rises" - This is an obvious pick. It was blatantly conservative and realistic in its worldview. Plus, it gave us a perfect ending to Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy. We saw a successful businessman forced to answer for his own fortune as people rail against freedom and capitalism. Bane (Tom Hardy) soon comes to lead the Occupy-style thugs to the utopia we witness in action in the film's third act. Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) comes to fight this tyranny and give people the very freedom they so easily give away. From Joseph Gordon Levitt's star-making role as one very good cop to the action to the script, 'Rises' was pretty darn close to being a masterpiece.

2. Atlas Shrugged: Part II

3. The Expendables 2

4. Red Dawn

5. Lockout

We watched Dark Knight Rises the other night. For the first 30 minutes, the wife and I were like, WTH? We were clueless. Once that thing started coming together, it was one great movie. IMHO. Great ending.

What about For Greater Glory/Cristiada , which was about Mexican Catholics taking up arms against a revolutionary government?
