Thank you for responding to my original post and letting me know which movies had a conservative message.

I had forgotten about the "Blind Side", as I had not seen it yet, but have heard good things about it.

“Passion of the Christ”. You are right, I had forgotten about it as well, having not seen it either (the wife didn't want to see the gore).

However, Pixar films proves my point.

Also, I am not "complaining", I was merely pointing out something that I noticed, and was unsure about it. I'm sorry if I hit a "hot button" topic with you.

I just don’t understand your concern.

Just saying the word “movie” would seem to me to be saying “fiction”. So regardless of what genre of “fiction”, it is still open to the charges of what you are concerned about.

The subtly of messages being inserted into film is decried when it comes from the left because it is so effective, and yet when it comes from the right it seems counterproductive? I’m not buying that argument.

Overt and preachy films and documenteries speak to the true believers but have minimal impact on the culture.

I dare say that Iron Man 2’s speech concerning his private property and the Government’s attempt to take it influenced more people in it’s first weekend than Ayn Rand’s entire library of writings and her career of speeches.
