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.

Yeah, I've heard it being considered sort of a Liberal movie, but it is a great one. I mean the reference to a hippie utopia(hippies don't trust people over 30, that kind of thing and people die after 30 there), the reference to how a socialist utopia has shut people off from the outside world, and from simplicity. It just screamed Conservatism, that the government would fill every gap in that dreamworld, and everyone is a follower of the government, yet they don't understand the outside world. I liked the smoothness of the world presented, and the historical POV.


Thanks for responding, I didn't even think that an old thread like this would get one. What, incidentally would you call the most Conservative and the most Liberal movie? Also, how come every single Hollywood movie, or almost, that came out in the last 10 years idolizes Liberals and Democrats? The American President, Bulworth, Primary Colors, Dave, the thing about Wag The Dog is that I noticed and couldn't remember the party affiliation of any characters being mentioned. Shouldn't Hollywood be more diverse, since it emphasizes broad-mindedness in films or is that a lie?
