Non-woke Movies

[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.

Great stuff here. Thanks, all!

I’m glad you listed ATTACK with Jack Palance. Despite some poor modelling and special effects, it was a super movie. BIRTH OF A NATION, 1915, was not woke at all. THE OUT OF TOWNERS, with Sandy Dennis had her great bathtub speech that placed suburban fly-over-country values over big city sophisto values.

Strange Brew and Canadian Bacon

That's Monsters Inc.

DOG

I so admire Robert Duvall. Some of my favorite movies and roles include him. I just love his style and persona.

Some of my favorites are “Open Range”, “Lonesome Dove”, “True Grit”, “The Godfather”, “The Great Santini”, “Second Hand Lions”, and even “Jack Reacher”.

I have gotten so much enjoyment watching him play roles.

“The Great Santini” was so good, but so disturbing. “Tender Mercies” also was good. Such different characters; he has a good range.

[rlmorel]

Good morning! Absolutely...he can play bad guys, good guys, crazy guys, tough guys, all with the same aplomb!

[rlmorel]

Glad to see a fellow fan of that movie! It is so unknown to many.

Are they making new episodes of Mystery Science Theater? Or are they thinking the old ones? I’ll bet we FReepers could put together some kick-ass episodes - some very clever people here.
