How was LA Confidential a conservative movie?

That's what I was wondering. Murder, prostitution, adultery...not my brand of conservatism.

It really was a miserable year from Hollywood. This is the best of the best?

While I did see a pro-life message in "The Island," I also thought the larger theme was an animal rights message, with the clones being proxies for cattle. There were several references to the fact that the clones being killed "felt no pain," but these were often in the context of food, I thought.

thanks for thread Mike & ping apo2
I saw all & enjoyed all except Little Manhattan (which I never even heard of until here)
I thought it was a good year for movies.. I don't go crazy if movies don't follow a book(which I hadn't read anyway) or are not historically accurate.. I go to entertained & this year by in large I was entertained very well.
Happy new year Mike.. I haven't gone to your website lately to see what you have been up to.. this weekend I will!

How about "National Treasure" for conservative films of the decade? One of the main characters is a German born documents expert who chooses to be American rather than EUROPEAN! and is willing to risk her life to protect the Declaration of Independence. The other main character, who like America, started off working with the British, but ends up on opposite sides of the battle, and, like his father, is awestruck by the work of the founding fathers.

Just watched the Great Raid, great movie, and King Kong was terrific, definitely worth seeing at the theatre - a big screen kind of movie. Cinderella man was also terrific. Agree with Lord of the Rings, would have to add Star Wars 3....and maybe Team America - definitely for a grown up audience, but I really enjoyed seeing the libs trashed so badly....

Serenity is my personal favorite.

Only partially agree with The Island. One reviewer said "The first half of the film is poetic, mysterious, ingenius, and frightening..then it turns into a Michael Bay film". I agree..second half just isnt as good as the first. I kept thinking "Armageddon" and "The Rock (with Sean Connery". They were decent films, but marred by disjointed direction in the second half.
A good conservative film, nonetheless!

Sounds like a definite contender. I intended to go see that film, but it was out of the theaters pretty quickly.

"The Greatest Game Ever Played" The game is golf, specifically the 1913 U.S. Open, pitting old pro Harry Vardon against poor-boy-struggling-to-escape-his-origins Francis Ouimet. I particularly liked the portrait of Ouimets family: the Irish mother who encourages him to dream, and the disillusioned father (a French immigrant engaged in backbreaking labor) who believes the boys dreams will only lead to disappointment and unhappiness.
(Why cant Hollywood give us functional families in the here and now?) The match swings back and forth, and provides enough excitement to make a movie about golf exciting. Its a Disney dare-to-dream movie more realistic, and inspiring, than most.
I saw this movie. I really liked it, and I highly recommend it.
