A few that come to mind:

Logan's Run- about a utopian society full of people who would be euthanized when they became of the over 30 crowd, which made me think of allusions to hippies, and there seemed to be an Anti-Socialist message in there.

The Island- possibly, after all it is a very Socially Conservative movie.

I would define PC as being something more esoteric, something against popular political thought, being Anti-Environmentalist and Anti-popular conceptions on Global Warming is so Anti-PC, even George Carlin makes fun of them.

The Pelican Brief seemed to be very PC, IMO.

Possibly Jury Duty was a little Anti-PC, though a bad movie, presented a radical Environmentalist as the villain. Actually JD wasn't that bad, but wasn't as good as Encino Man.

Citizen Kane would've been a very Anti-PC film if it were made today, a film whose politics railed against the John Kerrys and Limousine Liberals of the world, that scene with Kane and who Joseph Cotton played where Joe remarked about how Kane thinks that he is the guarantor of freedom, and that the people he pledges to protect will revolt against him. Nevertheless Hearst(whom the movie is based off on) was a Liberal Democrat in the sense of being a real Liberal in the late 1800s. Since most political films are very PC nowadays(Dave written by a speech writer for Ted Kennedy and Michael Dukakis, while good is very PC), it is surprising and sort of refreshing how utterly Conservative the big bad No.1 movie of all time is.

I also believe that one of my biggest angers at Hollywood is how they mistreat executives of Corporate America and has a strange obsessive hatred against Big Business in general. That irks me more than a movie like Brokeback Mountain. In fact, many of the movies made recently were very PC, the movie on the Deuce Four, much like The Green Berets, will automatically be very Anti-PC. Back to my original point, it seems that Hollywood always has a movie on Enron, and they have a movie on Walmart, and they have a remake of Dick and Jane with Enron being the central company. Of course, nobody has ever made a movie on our welfare system, how abused it could be, and possibly is. Plus, on abortion I've noticed that there has never been a real documentary on it, though there definitely could be a very Anti-Abortion documentary. Team America is Anti-PC, for many reasons then again South Park has been very Anti-PC, I mean any movie that seems to slide more into view at least a little in support of the WOT is very, very Anti-PC. It reminds me of Hot Shots, where the end of the movie the mission is to defeat Saddam Hussein, sitting drinking in his palace, while the Arabs in their planes are making gibberish-inflected sounds.

Anyone see Uncle Saddam? I've seen the box and I would love to rent it to get away from the ultra-PC consciousness of Hollywood and the Media.

Hotel Rwanda is rather Anti-PC, with a few Anti-UN statements that are very good.

I think of Social Correctness as different, since it refers more to linguistic terms like Native American instead of Indian.

I think Logan's Run is actually a great conservative movie, especially in light of the large biotech questions soon to become dominant political issues. The old man at the library outside of the city is an interesting depiction of the intellectual conservative's struggle to preserve ancient wisdom.
