Conservative movies exist, and some are immensely popular. Here is our growing list (in no particular order):

The first Spider-Man (2002), which praises moral virtue (hard-working teenager, devout aunt and well-meaning uncle) and pokes fun at assumed liberals (entertainers and journalist). Hero chooses abstinence. This was one of the most profitable films ever made.

Ben-Hur
Shawshank Redemption
The Sound of Music
It's a Wonderful Life
The Ten Commandments
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
The Passion of the Christ
Star Wars and its sequels - simple truths about the triumph of good over evil (except the 2nd one, the 5th in the story-line, where the bad guys won. That was liberal.)
King of Kings
On The Waterfront - a simple but hardworking longshoreman takes on his Mafia-controlled union
Sergeant York
Knute Rockne: All-American
Ninotchka
Forbidden Planet
Rudy
The Prince of Egypt
Red Dawn
