Not my favorite movie but a good movie I saw recently with a conservative theme was The Incredibles - but I only get to see movies like that because of the 5 year old in my house.
ping to you, missy.
I have been waiting for someone to bitch and moan about the "heteronormative" nature of The Incredibles nuclear family (the superhero mother actually is a housewife and does housework!), but so far, nothing. Thank God the designer Edna Mode was a woman (albeit voiced by writer-director Brad Bird) instead of a Queer Eye-inspired guy. I would have expected as much from a guy who used to write for The Simpsons.
BTW, Incredibles is the first halfway decent movie I have ever seen with the unendingly irritating milquetoast, Wallace Shawn. If you're not familiar with Shawn, imagine this: Woody Allen is Shawn on steroids. For years, a rule of thumb has been "If Wallace Shawn is in it, it's gotta suck."
I ran into Shawn while channel-surfing, finding him on PBS' NOW show (which I didn't know Bill Moyers didn't take with him into retirement). He has edited a journal full of anti-American screeds called Final Edition, and whined on about how uncomfortable it is to be a privileged American artist, although he admitted he wasn't ready to abdicate his position as such.
