Revision as of 18:57, August 5, 2011

There have been many superb conservative films:

Film Year Comments Gross (Domestic)
Witness 1985 Highlights the virtues of strong moral values, with more substance and excitement than High Noon. $ 65,500,000
Atlas Shrugged 2011 Big screen adaptation of the classic conservative text. $ 4,563,873
Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1956 A science fiction condemnation of communism, produced for only $420,000 and remade successfully in three additional movies. $ 2,500,000
The Exorcist 1973 (not for children) - A portrayal of pure evil against a positive characterization of Christianity. It broke the record for movie revenue. $ 441,071,011
Dark Matter 2007 A candid look at professor values along with problems associated with lack of assimilation; liberals first praised the movie, but after realizing its conservative message then panned it. $ 30,041
Spider-Man 2002 Praises moral virtue (hard-working teenager, devout aunt and well-meaning uncle) and pokes fun at liberals (entertainers and journalist). Hero chooses abstinence. This was one of the most profitable films ever made. $ 403,706,375
Gone With the Wind 1939 Celebrates a strongly feminine heroine who is the antithesis of a modern feminist, and held the record for top-grossing movie for decades. $ 198,676,459
Ben-Hur] 1959 Celebrates honor and duty to family and country, with a pro-Christian ending, long held the record for the most Academy Awards. $ 17,300,000
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed 2008 Ben Stein exposes evolutionists' scientific and education system deceit. $ 7,690,545
Hillary: The Movie 2008 Citizens United film exposing Hillary Clinton. This movie led to the overturning of McCain-Feingold legislation by the U.S. Supreme Court. NA - TV
Indoctrinate U 2007 Exposed political correctness, racial and ethnic politics in the academic setting. [1] Unknown
Fireproof 2008 Highly successful pro-Christian, pro-marriage film created by Sherwood Pictures. $ 33,451,479
Beauty and the Beast 1991 A powerful and immensely popular antidote to feminism, far better than the liberal movies churned out by Disney since. $ 25,487,028
Titanic 1997 Every life had value and the most powerful men gave up their seats on lifeboats to women and children first; the media and a young RINO are rightly criticized; broke the record in movie revenues. $ 600,779,824
The Lives of Others 2006 (Not for children) - This German-language film is a stinging criticism of the communist East Germany from a liberal perspective. $ 11,286,112
The Sound of Music 1965 Solid family entertainment, perhaps Hollywood's last great movie before it turned sharply Left. $ 158,671,368

Betrayed by his brother and almost killed by the gang, he finds the strength to overcome and redeem his people from the slavery to the mobsters who run the waterfront. In stunning contrast to the liberals who kept silent about the Communist subversion in Hollywood, the film portrays the informer as the hero; liberal Hollywood never forgave director Elia Kazan for his stunning film. In real life, Kazan, Malden and screenwriter Budd Schulberg all testified before Congress, along with Ronald Reagan. Together they broke the power of the Reds in Hollywood. $ 9,600,000
Sergeant York 1941 A young American soldier during WWI overcomes an unfounded religious objection to killing and becomes a war hero. Unknown

Debatable Whether Conservative

Film Year Comments Gross (Domestic)
The Passion of the Christ 2004 Downplays the Resurrection,[6] and strength of Christianity and omits powerful angels; instead exaggerates triumph of evil; film had little lasting effect on public or its producer; portrayed nails as through the hands rather than through the wrists as depicted by the Shroud of Turin and confirmed by modern science. $ 370,782,930
It's a Wonderful Life 1946 Falsely teaches that humanism is what makes life worthwhile; marginalizes faith with a cartoonish depiction and demonizes capitalism as sadistic and greedy. $ 3,300,000
High Noon 1952 Bill Clinton saw this movie 20 times, and John Wayne said it was the most un-American movie ever;[7] though susceptible of various interpretations, most of all it seems to scare people into wanting more government. $ 3,750,000
P.C.U. 1994 College students fight back against a campus where the administration promotes official diversity awareness weekends and radical feminism, veganism, and political correctness run amok, but a conservative group on campus is also portrayed just as negatively as the P.C. groups. $ 4,350,774
Pillow Talk 1959 A classic starring Rock Hudson and Doris Day in which conservative values triumph over liberal ones. There are no distortions by feminist ideology. Indeed, in one scene a leading man slaps the leading lady, but then is beaten up by dimwitted bystanders for it! $ 18,750,000
Blues Brothers 1980 Comedy musical. A story of redemption, "A mission from God", raising money to save a Catholic orphanage. R-rated movie for vulgar language, slap stick comedy. Vatican approved. [8] $ 57,229,890
The Way We Were 1973 Unique in the way that it appears liberal to liberals while unintentionally sending a conservative message to young women. $ 49,919,870
Grease 1978 Some conservative messages and no feminism or other political correctness; mocks public school and even television. $ 153,113,000
Fargo 1996 Pregnant sheriff with traditional American family values solves an elaborate criminal embezzlement, kidnapping and murder scheme. $ 24,611,975

The Dark Knight 2008 Christian allegory with message of not giving in to terrorists, but the movie also arguably has some liberal themes as pointed on Talk:Essay:Greatest Conservative Movies. $ 533,316,061
Camelot 1967 The famous jousting scene is a powerful display of Christian values and chivalry, but the movie seems lost afterward. $ 31,102,578
