I think The Graduate (1967) needs to be on this list.  This is a film about a boy growing up, by facing harsh reality, owning up to his mistakes, and making a decision about his life, thus becoming a man.  It's also about how we can overcome sin and corruption by taking control of our lives. --[[User:Wayfinder|Wayfinder]] 14:47, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

:I'm not too sure about that one. A common interpretation of the ending is that Benjamin has actions in the climax were purely spur-of-the-moment, at that he's just figuring out in doing so he's failed to accomplish anything meaningful and is left with a wholly uncertain future. --[[User:Lord Zedd|Lord Zedd]], 11 January 2017
    
Another film is the 1948 Alfred Hitchcock film Rope, starring James Stewart, John Dall, and Stewart Granger.  Based loosely on the Leopold-Loeb killing, Rope is about two Harvard scholars who decide to kill an acquaintance of their simply for the sake of killing, because they believe they are superior to others, all taught from one of their headmasters (James Stewart).  This film goes into one of the reasons why we have laws, why we cherish human life, and slightly goes into the immorality taught by ivory tower intellectuals that seems so prevalent today.--[[User:Wayfinder|Wayfinder]] 22:00, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

While clearly not originally intended to portray a conservative message, I feel that one strongly comes across in the film. Semi-autobiographical story of an alcoholic writer who loses everything because of his drinking and continues to spiral until it eventually costs him his life. opinions?

:Not quite sure as to how this portrays a 'conservative message' of any kind.

Should the film be included in the list, or under the "Debatable" section? --[[User:GOPFan2011|GOPFan2011]] ([[User talk:GOPFan2011|talk]]) 12:50, 13 May 2016 (EDT)

:I haven't seen it, but from what you say, it sounds a bit questionable.  Even the liberals abmit the government is corrupt--they just blame it on the conservatives while the same liberals continue making it worse.  I'd call it "Debatable" at best, but I can't say for sure, since as I said, I haven't seen it. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 09:23, 27 June 2016 (EDT)

To me this seems to be the work of trolls.The Room is an absolutely awful film and even if it was conservative, (which it isn't, the main character has premarital sex) it cannot be considered "great" in any regard. Terrible acting, subplots that lead to nowhere, rampant sex and hedonism as well as a poorly written story. I'm starting to doubt the integrity of this page if a film of such poor constitution made it on the list of Greatest Films. If anything the film should be considered an accidental comedy.
