|Based on the book of the same name, the sequel to ''A Dog's Purpose'' continues Bailey's story as he makes a vow to protect his owner Ethan's step-granddaughter, CJ. This heartwarming movie promotes bonds of family and condemns abuse, the latter shown with CJ's emotionally abusive mother Gloria. Redemption is also positively portrayed, for Gloria comes to genuinely regret mistreating CJ and reconciles with her, even willing to be kind to Bailey/Max (when she had previously hated dogs). The movie also teaches about loyalty, when Bailey stays loyal to Ethan and CJ until the former's death.

|As the most frequently aired movie on television as of 1977, this film was was based on the play "Everybody Comes to Rick's." The triumph in the film of fidelity over promiscuity is a strongly [[conservative]] theme, and this movie portrays [[marriage]], [[love]], and fighting for freedom in a compelling way. This film glorifies self-sacrifice for greater good, and promotes doing what's right even at expense to oneself (Rick, as played by [[Humphrey Bogart]]). [[Vichy France]] and [[Nazi]]s are disparaged. The actors and actresses on the set of the filming conducted themselves admirably off-camera, in contrast with other films, and even played [[chess]] during breaks and in a filmed scene.

<br>Minor quibbling about the film focuses on incidental dialogue which implied that Rick had aided and supported the cause of the [[Communist]]s during the [[Spanish Civil War]] (it should be noted that such dialogue was exclusive to the film and not present in the original play<ref>http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~ina22/splaylib/Screenplay-Everybody_Comes_to_Rick's.pdf (dead link, archived version [https://web.archive.org/web/20141224092710/http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~ina22/splaylib/Screenplay-Everybody_Comes_to_Rick's.pdf here])</ref>), and how Lazlo was an "international leader" of a resistance movement against the Nazis hinting at his being a Soviet plant. In addition, one of the screenwriters for the film, Howard Koch, was a notorious communist who was later blacklisted from [[Hollywood]] via the House of Un-American Activities Committee.

|Three teenagers try to rob a bank - not for greed - but to get money needed for one's father’s surgery to save his life. In the end, they realize that even though their intentions were good, what they did was still wrong. They then end up getting the money through donations and generosity rather than theft. Thus giving the movie anti-socialist aspects, and anti-universal healthcare aspects, as they realized it was wrong to take other people’s money to pay for their healthcare.

|Bleeding heart New York City liberal Paul Kersey learns the importance of the Second Amendment following a brutal attack on his wife and daughter. Following this, he begins fighting back against muggers and is deemed a [[vigilante]]. During this time crime begins to decline (because criminals don't normally attack armed civilians). However contrary to popular belief, the film does not glorify vigilantism, as the film acknowledges that if the vigilante isn't stopped it could led to [[anarchy]] (pure [[Marxism]] is the complete absence of government). Followed by four sequels in 1982, 1985, 1987 and 1994. Remake in 2018.

Jews are portrayed sympathetically, as the terrorists' leader, Abdul Rafai, is viciously anti-Semitic. He demands that the Jewish hostages be separated from the others, and forces a German Flight Attendant to read out their names. He insists that the Jews killed in the holocaust were "not enough." When the aforementioned Flight Attendant collects the hostages' passports, she notices a number tattooed on one of the Jewish hostage's arm, indicating that he's a Concentration Camp survivor and she gives him a look of sympathy.

|Based on a 2003 young adult novel of the same name, a six-foot-one and 296 pound 17-year-old boy named Troy Billings overcomes challenges, as things have been very hard on him with his mother deceased, living with his father and younger brother. It also rightfully shows the negatives of school [[bullying]] and suicide. Troy also befriends a non-conformist punk rocker named Marcus MacCrae who becomes hospitalized due to illicit drug use but he finally recovers in the end, thus giving the film an anti-drug message as well. It is also pro-family values as Troy learns the consequences of his actions. Despite all of the conservative messages, this movie is NOT for kids because it has a lot of foul language and even some violence.

|Fight club is considered to be a "conservative classic" for audiences mature enough to handle the violence and language. It argues against the idea that society can alter or control our basic human nature. One of the characters rants against consumerism which has led liberals to believe it is anti-capitalist moral, but don't be fooled. In reality, it's pro-self-governance and anti-consumerism moral. We can't fill our happiness with buying things. It's pro-masculinity and warns society of the dangers of trying to suppress masculinity and promotes assertiveness and strength in men's minds and bodies.

|Republican actor Vince Vaughn plays Fred Claus, the older brother of Christmas icon Santa Claus (born Nicholas "Nick" Claus in this universe), who must overcome his jealousy to remember the importance of their literally immortal family and save Christmas from being ruined. A major theme of redemption applies to Fred, the young orphan Samuel "Slam" Gibbons, and the evil efficiency expert Clyde Archibald Northcutt, all of whom learn the errors of their ways. Traditional gender roles are depicted by the elves: the men make baseball bats for the boys, the women make hula hoops for the girls, etc. There is a positive establishment of American popular culture icon Superman (he's only mentioned, but toy Supermans are shown and Clyde Northcutt is wearing a Superman cape once reformed), and mild politically incorrect humor is featured.

|A marvelous and beautifully-made musical film from a bygone era (the Arthur Freed Unit), ''Gigi'' condemns prostitution and the lifestyle of the snobbish, spoiled rich people. The film is also a celebratory of the essence, beauty, and power of a true love between a man and a woman who each want something more out of life than the provincial, liberal lifestyle of 1900 Paris. Winner of nine Academy Awards: Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography (Color), Art Direction-Set Decoration, Costume Design, Film Editing, Original Song (for the title song "Gigi"), and Scoring of a Musical Picture.

Max, his sister Dani, his love interest Allison, and an immortal human-turned-cat named Thackery Binx work together to stop the witches before the end of Halloween that night. The movie portrays family values like the love between siblings in a positive light, from Binx trying (but sadly failing) to save his sister from dying to Max drinking a deadly potion to draw the witches' attention away from Dani; Winifred in contrast (played by very liberal actress Bette Midler) callously doesn't do the same for her own sisters. Heaven is shown at the end of the movie when Binx reunites with his sister, and their spirits walk to Heaven together. A novelization/sequel of the movie was published in 2018.

|During the Great Depression, archaeologist and adventurer Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones searches the world for artifacts of untold power and, along the way, combats some of America's most infamous enemies, in particular Nazis. The first and third films contain Christian themes since they are centered around the [[Ark of the Covenant]] and the [[Holy Grail]], respectively; while the second film condemns paganism due to its main villain being a pagan priest. A fourth film, ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'', takes place in the early Cold War era with Soviet Communists as antagonists, although there's some debate as to how patriotic and conservative the movie is (see its entry in Debatable Whether Conservative for more details).

|Unlike the rest of the movies in the series which were just pure entertainment, this movie has some good Christian messages and a Christian missionary is presented in a positive light. The climax of the movie presents a very important message too; ''Only God can grant eternal life, not these pagan waters. Men, destroy this profane temple!''

|Released at a time of Obamacare's imposed "death panels," the Jigsaw Killer in "Saw VI" forces a character to make life-and-death choices for others using the same cold logic he employed bloodlessly as a business leader. Including the carousel trap in which one character is forced to choose two of six people to live by weighing the "value" of their lives, not dissimilar at all from what health insurance companies do every day. And when one character realizes he is going to die, he has a moment in which he demands that the man who has put him to death at least have the decency to look him in the eyes before he dies.

|Unlike the 2002 film, this film is more conservative, pro-American and family friendly like the cartoons with much less innuendos, drug references and many more connections to the original cartoon. A duo of Mormons show up in one of Old Man Wickles’ (played by Peter Boyle) traps and asked Scooby-Doo if he heard the good news of Jesus’ return. The main antagonist is a mad German scientist (played by Tim Blake Nelson) who crossdresses as a slandering reporter (played by Alicia Silverstone) and sets up museum robberies while he tries to play God. It’s implied he’s homosexual since it was possible he cuddled with the cameraman and got sent to jail for all of these acts. It also promotes fast food in a positive light where Scooby-Doo is eating a Burger King Whopper and a giant cotton candy monster. The unmasked villains such as Old Man Wickles want to redeem themselves someday. Gender roles are enforced on Fred & Daphne and Velma & Patrick Wisely. The film does promote critical thinking, chivalry, teamwork and individualism. Written by [[James Gunn]].

|Various supervillains are given a second chance to fight for the greater good. Surprisingly, the film glorifies some conservative values. The villain's a [[Pagan]] goddess named Enchantress (a rare film where liberal Hollywood actually portrays a Pagan as evil instead of the tragic hero nonsense we've seen). Also, even throughout the film is about supervillains, many of them regret their lives of crime, such as one of the characters Deadshot abandons his opportunity to kill Batman on his daughter's behalf and another character El Diablo who used his superpower for evil ends up accidentally killing his family, which has haunted him.

Moreover, in a dream sequence villain Harley Quinn shows her deepest desires which is being a housewife (points for having the guts for showing a female character not wanting to be part of the feminist agenda, especially in this day and age, even if it not surprisingly infuriated liberal critics<ref>http://www.avclub.com/article/margot-robbie-deserves-better-suicide-squads-sexis-240618</ref>). Some could also point out Enchantress plans to bribe the squad as reference to Luke 4:6-7. More interesting enough the director David Ayer is a Christian<ref>http://www.interviewmagazine.com/film/shia-labeouf/#page2</ref> who was once in the Navy.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/oct/16/david-ayer-something-maternal-about-tank-in-fury-brad-pitt</ref> So it's not surprising he added these values onto his film.

|This rendition of H.G. Wells' classic 1898 novel without "The" in its title features Tom Cruise as Ray Ferrier, an initially easygoing and selfish working class man, who must watch his teenage son, Robbie and young daughter, Rachel, while his ex-wife and new husband visit her parents for the weekend. The movie's pro-family message comes entirely into focus, when the aliens arrive and force Ray and his children to flee. Throughout their time together, Ray clashes with Robbie, the latter critical of him as a father, but in the end, they reconcile, after the invaders are eliminated. The movie is also pro-military and highlights Robbie's bravery to join them in the fight against the invaders, despite Ray's protests.
