Here is my list, in order of obnoxiousness:

The Contender
American Beauty
Kadosh
(An Israeli film that portrays imaginary Orthodox Jews treating women the way real-life Muslims do--this movie beats out Barbra Streisand's Yentel for gratuitous vicious anti-Jewish stereotyping)
The Siege--this was actually pretty good up until the "message" that internment of Arab Muslims is much worse than sustained terrorism.
The Green Mile--kindly white prison guards befriend a gentle Black death row inmate in 1930's Louisiana--yeah, right.
Ferngully--Environmentalist whacko brainwashing
Robin Hood, The Prince of Thieves (for that matter any Costner flick)

Re: "Kadosh" -- along those lines, the horrible film called "Price Above Rubies," which also shows Orthodox Jews in a very negative light -- hypocrites full of form and no substance, like the brother-in-law, who regularly rapes the main character played by Renee Zelweiger.

Oh, geez, The Green Mile. I forgot about that! My personal title for that is The Noble Savage of Death Row.
