I apologize for the Vanity upfront. That said, can we come up with a list of movies that don't lecture about climate, race, abortion 'rights', sexuality, intolerance, 'migrants' etc.? I fully realize there are lots of crucial issues facing all of us and that this is not that important, but when occasionally looking for at least an hour or two of escape it would be nice to not have to be assaulted by the left's agenda.
Maverick Top Gun
Blazing Saddles.
The Northman
Lots of violence around 900 A.D. Mystical rituals. Revenge. The Vikings were pretty hard core. Winter all the time pretty much. In rotation on amazon.
Deliverance
Blazing Saddles, drug use and homosexuality, but damn it is funny.
You beat me by two minutes!😀
A Hidden Life
A movie about an Austrian Farmer and Christian in WWII who refuses to pledge allegiance to the Nazis
TWELVE ANGRY MEN
All the old westerns on the GRIT channel.
Watching Randolph Scott now.
Look for movies that critics describe as fascist. “Dirty Harry” and “Death Wish” come to mind.
Yeah, old ones.
Watch the “Mystery Science Theater 3000” channel on Pluto TV. Ultimate escape. And hilariously bad movies.
Secondhand Lions.
Pretty clean family movie. They do say damn and hell a lot though.
ED WOOD! It’s also perfect for Halloween season. The relationship between Ed and Bela Lugosi is authentic. It’s easy fun, great acting, brilliant writing, and excellent directing and production design. My company spokesperson, Mike Starr, is in it. Great actor!
LINK TO FREE VERSION: "The Best Years of Our Lives"
Synopsis: "The Best Years of Our Lives" is a 1946 American epic drama film directed by William Wyler, and starring Myrna Loy, Fredric March, Dana Andrews, Teresa Wright, Virginia Mayo and Harold Russell.
The film is about three United States servicemen re-adjusting to societal changes and civilian life after coming home from World War II. The three men come from different services with different ranks that do not correspond with their civilian social class backgrounds.
This is an excellent and uplifting movie.

Recently watched this, “A Stranger In Town.” Frank Morgan (he played the wizard in W of Oz, 1939) plays a Supreme Ct judge who goes fishing, finds himself in a small town run by corrupt officials.
Black & white, 1943.
Nothing like a 1940’s movie to cheer you up.
Love that movie, Second Hand Lion. Just love it...:)
I own that one...:)
It’s free (with ads) on youtube, a movie with Robert Mitchum called “Thunder Road.”
Just about anything before 1960.
