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.
"Nice suit . . . is that Dacron?"
Let me add a few more conservative and Christian movies that college students are watching (me being a graduating Senior ;D):..
Signs..Pretty much shows that "miracles can happen" deals with faith in a higher power-God.
The Lord of The Rings..Standing against evil, against all odds, and with self-scrifice (then there are few Biblical parallels in the movies)
Narnia..Same as above, only that "It is The Passion, for Kids ;)"
Luther..retelling of the Story of the Christian leader, and reformer who (no offense to my Catholic brothers and sisters) God used to bring the Church back from the eave of disaster non-Biblical teachings/practics~
The Island..A very conservative movie that was not PC (even though it has some sex scenes..) it was a stand against cloning and seemed pro-life.
Another surprising one is PAYCHECK..I know most of you are wondering: WHAT IS HE THINKING..well I found that it was almost an allegory for the battle between God (Father, Son, Spirit) and Satan's evil minions (Satan, AntiChrist, and Unholy Profit) from an almost Catholic pov!
Anymore that Ya'll can think of..?
Does "conservative" modify college or college student? Are the numbers taken from college library loan records or from local video/DVD rental stores? What makes a student "conservative" (attendance at a Christian College) and how does this factor in?
Don't get me wrong. I've seen many on this list and own several myself. The choices seem heavily weighted by sex (Red Dawn, Dirty Harry, Death Wish). My daughter is quite conservative and may have chosen one or two from this list, but many of her favorites are not there: LOTR, October Sky, Frequency, (anything by M. Night Shyamalan), Rear Window, Shop Around the Corner, Patriot, The Court Jester, ...
My thoughts exactly. LOL
Kim Jong Il: Now you see, the changing of the worrd is inevitabre!
Lisa: I'm sorry, it's what?
Kim Jong Il: Inevit, inevitabre.
Lisa: One more time.
Kim Jong Il: [shouts] Inevitebre! Jesus Christ, open your f***ing ears!
They ought to try "The Siege of Firebase Gloria" with R. Lee Ermey.
Michael Caine as Lt. Bromhead.
Featuring the greatest actor in the world, "Ah-rec Bawd-win."
"Pride and Prejudice" is excellent and in the theatres.
That movie was hilarious.
Your wearing the T-shirt of the BAND! ....
