Favorite Conservative Movies?

Posted on 05/04/2005 2:51:42 PM PDT by rogermonroe

I'm a liberal but growing increasingly disenchanted with the left. I'm also a movie fan. I'm looking for a list of the movies most beloved by conservatives, movies that support conservative ideals, films that make a good argument for conservatism. I figured this was the place to go. If you were making such a list, what would be on it? Rambo? Red Dawn? What?

Some of John Wayne's movies come to mind. We just watched "The Shootist" the other day. There were a few poor scenes. but overall it was a good movie with a strongly conservative message.

"Let's stay home and hunker down" doesn't make a good movie.

It doesn't make good policy either, as the Allies discovered after trying to appease Hitler.

Pat Buchanan praised Ted Kennedy and has allied himself with radical leftist anti-Semites. He's no conservative.

Red Dawn - first ever PG-13 movie. I never did figure out why, with the whole country to choose from, the Soviets began their invasion in central Colorado.

She Wore A Yellow Ribbon.

I believe it was Douglas MacArthur who said, if that is not the way the west was really like, it ought to have been.

Backwards? You mean the liberals want the orcs to win?

I can definitely see Helen Thomas rooting for the orcs. "They look almost as ugly as me! I want them to win!"

La Dolce Vita (against cultural decadence)

Clockwork Orange (anti-Social Engineering)

The Fountainhead (pro-individual initiative).

Straw Dogs (Armed defense of one's home and family)

The Patriot (Because its great to see a bunch of Tory fops get their as-es kicked by Mel Gibson).

Ah, that brings back memories of high school days! Hard to believe it's been more than 20 years since that movie came out. Great poster.
