I agree whole heartedly on "Grapes of Wrath". Partly because it was so well done. The liberal message was subtle, but strong at the same time. You don't necessarily know you are being propagandized unless you are really sensitive to it. Most of the movies today beat you over the head with it, Grapes did it with style and finesse which is much more dangerous. You see much of the same technique today on TV shows like; Judging Amy, Law and Order, Once and Again, The Practice etc. They use character development and storylines to softly, but effectively get their message across. My wife and I like to watch these shows and see who can pick out the lib message first.

"A Shock to the System." It was darkly hilarious.

Right before The Contender came out, Torie Gary Oldman came out and denounced the film as "left-wing propaganda" despite the fact he himself had a supporting role

That had to be a set-up to get us members of the vast right-wing conspiracy to buy film tickets. Oldman read the script, he played the role, and he knew that the conservative character was going to be demonized beforehand!

FYI a discussion on The Last Supper on FreeRepublic which I found quite enlightening.

You are right, nobody ate tomatoes in Europe until the 16th century. According to the California tomato growers site, it was northern Europeans who thought that the tomatoe was poisonous until the 19th century. It may interest you to know that that site says: 'This same fear persisted among colonists in the United States until the early 19th century; but in 1812, the Creoles in New Orleans put their cooking on the map with their tomato-enhanced gumbos and jambalayas'. I guess this makes you the expert on this subject. Since this is off-topic I will refrain from further discussion of this subject here

Check this out for the Reynoldsburg, Ohio tomato festival which honors Alexander W. Livingston for his contribution to the further development of the edible tomato. here

"Gort ... Barada ... Nictu!"

Michael Rennie was way cool!

Patricia Neal was good, too!

I didn't like Gort, tho.

I don't want to read through all of these. I'm sure I'm not the first to offer up American Beauty.

The low budget movie that shocked the pundits by being so popular called "Billy Jack" by Tom Laughlin is very liberal. As is the movie "The Born Losers" that introduced the Billy Jack character, and sequels like "The Trial of Billy Jack."

According to billyjack.com, they plan to make a new Billy Jack movie sometime in the future.
