| | |Based on the flagship superhero of Marvel Comics, Peter Parker is a hard-working teenager, raised by his devout Aunt May and well-meaning Uncle Ben, who is bitten by a radioactive spider and gains spider-like abilities, such as climbing any surface and shooting webbing from his hands, which he vows to use to prevent crime after Uncle Ben’s murder. ''Spider-Man'' pokes fun at [[liberal]] entertainers and journalists, particularly ''Daily Bugle'' publisher J. Jonah Jameson, who goes out of his way to unfairly smear and slander Spider-Man and foolishly question his heroic deeds. For his relationship with classmate Mary Jane Watson, Peter chooses [[abstinence]]. Peter believes in individualism and capitalism as well: he rejects a job from a handout, claiming he would like to earn what he makes. This was one of the most profitable films ever made and had two sequels. | | |Based on the flagship superhero of Marvel Comics, Peter Parker is a hard-working teenager, raised by his devout Aunt May and well-meaning Uncle Ben, who is bitten by a radioactive spider and gains spider-like abilities, such as climbing any surface and shooting webbing from his hands, which he vows to use to prevent crime after Uncle Ben’s murder.

| | + | |Four friends go on an adventure to find the dead body of a missing teen. Despite the swearing and underage smoking the movie displays very good Conservative values of friendship, loyalty, the importance of family (the 4 main boys come from broken homes even though one of the boy's fathers fought in World War II in Normandy). The lead boy stands up to his bully using a gun and an off screen character is a Catholic who is practicing abstinence much to the dismay of her criminal boyfriend. |
