National Review ^ | January 3, 2019 | Kyle Smith

It wasn’t all bad news at the box office this past year.

The movie industry as a whole may be boringly left-wing, but occasionally a conservative message breaks through, sometimes intentionally and sometimes accidentally or because filmmakers simply applied themselves to telling the truth. Here are ten films that brought conservative concepts to the multiplex in 2018, ranked according to conservative firepower:

I watched it 3 times on cable and then bought the DVD. There are so many little things to watch in each scene that escape you the first time you view it.

Bingo.

I find it pathetic the way conservatives bend reality to make some secularist or leftist out to be an ally.

In the past, they tried to make me believe Jake Tapper was a more respectable and legitimate journalist than other MSM. I did not buy it. I was right not to buy it.

They (e.g., Nolte) tried to paint Black Panther as somehow pro-Trump. Please.

True about Batman: a real vigilante.

Comics industry is based in New York, and was always leftist. But it was easier and safer to pretend a kind of conservatism then (more traditionalism), when “right-wing” fascism was the enemy instead of communism, with which they mostly aligned.

The Senate hearings (Seduction if the Innocent) and Comics Code Authority forced them to lay low, until the 60s and Viet Nam drew them more and more into the open.

I was among the first collectors. I loved the Fantastic Four, and liked the Black Panther. But I was also smart enough to know that Stan Lee was tacitly endorsing the Black Panther movement with that character, introduced in FF #52, July 1966.

It is hard to say that it isn’t exactly the way it happened.

The new Mary Poppins is absolutely awful. It is full of gay themes and a lot of chaos that does not make any sense.

The original was strange too.

Once you see “Saving Mr Banks” the whole Mary Poppins story becomes less and less palatable.
