No, I hadn't have seen those films, although I've heard of a couple of them. I will have to rent them!
Any other recommendations?

Conservative films? It is a rather short list. "Cheaper by the Dozen" - the first one from the 30's- not the upcoming remake with Steve Martin. "Angels with Dirty Faces"- also another 30's movie with James Cagney as a Irish hood in Hell's Kitchen. Very Christian message (and if you don't cry at the end you are not human!). I would also say that "Henry the V" - the Kennenth Branaugh version is extremely well done and conservative if you let it soak in enough. "Das Boot" or "The Boat"- about a German Sub in WWII has very subversive conservative messages. I would also recommend "Burnt by the Sun"- a Russian film about a high ranking military commander who finds himself the victim of a random terror purge.
Conservatism is not easy to capture on film as it is a way of life and disposition that does not easily lend itself to cheap propaganda as does the Left.
There are more- but that is what I came up with now.
