The Grapes of Wrath

The best choice. It also shows the old-style, not completely unsympathetic liberal mindset: naive, class-oriented, square dealish, somewhat dishonest ("truck drivers"), but not today's purely self-centered, cheaply emotional, tribal liberal.

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.
