The directors are liberal (Cohen brothers), much sensationalized bloodshed and terror- some of the reasons I didn't know if this was fit for "Greatest".

Clean-up
This list is in need of major clean-up. Jinx McHue 13:06, 19 December 2009 (EST)
- Please proceed as you suggest. Thanks!--Andy Schlafly 13:29, 19 December 2009 (EST)
- Okay. I'll get to it when I have time after this weekend. Jinx McHue 11:00, 20 December 2009 (EST)
Here's an interesting article by Roger Ebert
Anyone agree with his choices? I don't want to add any unless people agree with them. JRobbe

- Interesting article, The choices seem to be by someone else (Feder?), but the list is interesting. Feel free to add those that you think merit it. It's seems like a legitimate list, though I saw only one of the films mentioned.--Andy Schlafly 20:59, 5 January 2010 (EST)
You're right, my mistake, it was Don Feder who originally wrote the list. Coach Carter is the only one I've seen, and I definitely agree that it has a conservative message. I'll add it, and if anyone has any qualms please feel free to change it. Since I haven't seen the others, I'll let someone with more knowledge of the films determine if they qualify to be on this list. JRobbe
- Oh, I see, that's Don Feder. We previously recognized him with an honorable mention in Essay:Conservatives of the Decade. All his choices are likely good. I can confirm that Feder is right about "Batman Begins," and I doubt Feder mishits on any of his choices.--Andy Schlafly 21:18, 5 January 2010 (EST)
Fargo
The directors are liberal (Cohen brothers), much sensationalized bloodshed and terror- some of the reasons I didn't know if this was fit for "Greatest". What say you?--Jpatt 00:53, 7 January 2010 (EST)
- I disliked the movie intensely --it portrays our rural part of the world in very negative terms--and did not see much conservative about it. RJJensen 02:04, 7 January 2010 (EST)
Although Fargo is one of my favorite movies, I wouldn't say for a second that it's conservative. At the same time, I wouldn't argue that it's liberal. I don't see much of a political agenda in the film.JRobbe
