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.

I’ll second the nomination of Secondhand Lions.

Anything before 1950. Many are on youtube and on Tubi.

Midway - 2019 - remake of the 1967 version. Free on Tubi. Well done and not woke (surprisingly)
The Catcher was a Spy - 2018 - on Tubi - true story about a Boston Red Sox catcher turned WWII spy tasked to assassinate a Nazi atomic scientist. Excellent.
The Razor’s Edge - 1984 - on Tubi - a WWI veteran is disallusioned by jazz-age values and discovers the real meaning of life. Cerebral and different. Remake of the 1940’s version with Tyrone Power.
The Grey Zone - 2001 - on Tubi - true story, group of jewish prisoners launch an attack inside of Auschwitz.
The Scarlet and the Black - 1983 - on Tubi - true story of a vatican official defying Nazi officials and saving POW’s in Rome.
Turn - a series on AMC - excellent true story of the spies, Culpepper ring, that turned the revolutionary war. Absolutely excellent.
Anthropoid - 2016 - on Prime Video (not free) - true story of Operation Anthropoid, mission to assassinate Thrid Reich general Reinhard Heydrich, the main architect behind the final solution.
The Island on Bird Street - 1997 - prime video - semi true story, 11 yr old boy hides in jewish ghetto waiting for his father to return.
The Resistance Banker - 2018 - Netflix - true story. A banker in occupied Amsterdam slows the Nazi war machine by creating an underground bank to fund the resistance.

Incredibles

Watch anything made before the 2000s and it might be ok. Not too much woke stuff just a couple of decades ago.

[FamiliarFace]

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

Another very funny Jack Black movie is The Polka King.

True story of a guy in Pennsylvania.

My favorite comedy, “Some Like It Hot “ with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.

12 Angry men was a great movie...but it was the start of the woke stuff.

P.S. He really did kill his father.

[Deaf Smith]

Last watched that movie in the 70’s.

Been awhile.

The most recent non-woke film I saw was Ford v Ferrari.
