Ranked by the staff of the Leadership Institute’s Campus Leadership Program.
1. The Passion of the Christ
The testament of Christ, the basis of all Western thought and tradition, the most important moment in history.
2. A Man for All Seasons
Thomas More defies the will of the King by refusing to attest to the sacredness of the King’s marriage, and pays with his life.
3. Lean on Me
Morgan Freeman is a principal at a dilapidated New Jersey high school that he reinvigorates through hard work, achievement and stern discipline.
4. Cheaper by the Dozen
A fun family film extolling more virtue than Hollywood has produced in a long time.
5. Death Wish
After his family is destroyed by thugs, Charles Bronson decides to teach criminals the lesson that the liberals can’t through courtrooms or mediation.
6. Red Dawn
Communists invade the heartland, and a band of boys take to the hills and start an insurgency against the invaders.
7. Dirty Harry
Much in the same vein as Death Wish, Clint Eastwood is a police officer doing what it takes to fight crime against the liberals who worry more about defendant rights than the victims.
8. The Outlaw Josey Wales
Clint Eastwood is a soldier who fights those who took everything he cared about.
9. Zulu
Heroism in the face of overwhelming odds, 139 Welshmen fight off 4,000 Zulu soldiers.
10. PCU
The state of modern colleges, summed up in an excellent comedy showing the ridiculousness of the politically correct mob.
Dirty Harry is as much a critique of Harry as a celebration of him.
PCU was being made when I was in college. Nice to see it on the list.
But where's "Team America"?
Speaking of movies, King Kong is fantastic. Everyone will LOVE it!!!!
Im glad to see Raw Hind didnt make the list.
Racist. I read that somewhere.
Think they're watching Man for All Seasons and Red Dawn back-to-back?
Is that the new nickname for "Brokeback..."
What? Where is "The Godfather" ?
Or was that when I was in college.
Yeah, that's a ridiculous charge. The movie is really fantastic.
While PCU lampooned many of the extremists of the political correctness movement, it also had its own element of political correctness to it. It went to great lengths to make the political conservatives out as homophobic anti-semites that were even more wacked out and idiotic than the radical vegan feminist econazis. I would hardly consider it worthy of being mentioned with the rest of the films in this list.
"Raw Hind"? LOL!
Are watching, or the Leadership Institute wishes they'd watch?
movie ideas ping
bump
Red Dawn is a documentary and it's showing all day at the Ammu-nation.
Funny. I thought that was one of the most POLITICALLY CORRECT scenes in the movie.
No kids are watching these antiques.
I speak as an authentic antique.
That's why it was funny!
