Non-woke Movies

Posted on 10/16/2022 7:20:13 PM PDT by neverevergiveup

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.

“The Sandlot” was another favorite movie in our family.

Another one is “Signs.”

Lots of good movies out there, but they’re mostly older movies now.

Nice list.

Glad M & C played the two guys as straight.
I gather they were homos in the book, but could be wrong.

“ A classic that I must watch at least once a year. One of my faves.”

The Sandlot

yer killin me Smalls

It’s non woke

The pitcher is a black kid just because he’s the best pitcher in the neighborhood. He’s very wise, as well

So’s the guy who turns a out to be…no spoilies, as Jake Peralta would say. Another non woke venue

Pretty much anything by the Coen Brothers is not preachy:

Blood Simple
Raising Arizona
No Country for Old Men
Fargo
Miller's Crossing
The Big Lebowski
O Brother Where Art Thou
Burn After Reading
True Grit

I like Alaska Daily as well. Also PBS just started something called “Magpie Murders” which looks very promising.

Bump for no apologies necessary post.

Lots of good stuff here that I've seen lots of times and others I hope to see soon. Sometimes you just have to check out.

Thanks. ;-)

For all: Try JustWatch.Com to find a movie you want to watch on a free service - sometimes with ads - or on a service you already pay for (your cable provider, Netflix, AMZN prime, Etc.)

No affiliation, no nothing - just a site I ran across.

Christopher Nolan is mostly a good bet. The last couple are a bit messagy, but his earlier work is entertaining and woke-free:

Following
Memento
Insomnia
Batman Begins
The Prestige
The Dark Knight
Inception
Dunkirk

“Witness” with Harrison Ford; great movie thriller/love story set in Amish country.

I’m saving this thread. What a list of great movies to watch. As a retiree, my new bucket list; a feast for the eyes.

I’m 30 in and haven’t seen the ultimate anti-woke move about freedom fighters battling an oppressive occupying force.

“Birth of a Nation”

Great movie. It was a sleeper but awesome. Gotta wonder about Elvis though.

I’ve been enjoying westerns from the 1950s, and earlier.
