I thought Secondhand Lions had good Republican themes.
As Hub says:
"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in."
That strikes me as quite Republican.
That plus the kid's mother strikes me so much as being like a modern Democrat.
It's important to go out with your boots on, a lesson we as Republicans seem to know better than Democrats during this War on Terror.
My whole family loves this movie. Especially the fishing with shotguns scene.
I would also like to recommend a very old British movie, made during WWII. It is called "Mrs. Minever" and stars Greer Garson. A family in an English village suffers through the war; the husband takes his boat and evacuates soldiers at Dunkirk, they are perpetually in black-out due to bombing raids, and at the end their very old church is bombed. Through it all they keep a stiff upper lip and press on, trying to maintain the traditions of village life. The ending is all of them standing and singing "Onward Christian Soldiers" in the ruined church. Very inspirational, and I highly recommend it.
