|The sequel to the 1995 film, this police action film is surprisingly pro-family (main character Lieutenant Marcus Burnett's daughter is an undercover operative for the DEA, and his laid back but faithful friend and partner tries to help him with this personal crisis, which he does not approve of) and advocates war on drugs. The main villains are Russians and Cubans (Communists), while the side villains are [[Ku Klux Klan]] members (which was founded by the [[Democrat Party]]).

|Centered on the classic American pastime of [[baseball]], this sports feature negatively depicts forced government intervention into baseball in the name of equality, as the reason the Bears baseball team existed in the first place was to put rejects into a baseball team after being legally forced to do so via a lawsuit. Morals include improving oneself through training as well as the [[American Dream]]: although the Bears are composed of the worst players in little league, main character Coach Buttermaker trains them to become one of the best baseball teams in the season. Followed by two direct sequels in 1977 and 1978. In contrast, the 2005 remake is significantly more coarse and more politically correct.

|The first film in Christopher Nolan's ''Dark Knight'' trilogy retells comic book superhero Bruce Wayne/Batman's origin story in a manner that specifically denounces corruption and trying to kill out of revenge with themes of redemptive measures. When main villain Ra's al Ghul reveals his intentions to destroy Gotham City, Batman tries to stop him since Gotham still ultimately has good elements in the community. Capitalism is depicted positively, too: in the backstory, Thomas Wayne, Bruce's late father, helped alleviate Gotham City from poverty via his wealth by building a public transportation system. Thomas' death inspired Gotham's wealthy individuals to follow his example, and Wayne Enterprises' Lucius Fox, who runs the company in Bruce's absence, proceeded to use the company's resources to synthesize a cure for fear toxin.

|Though based on a recurring skit from ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', which is infamous for its history of liberal bias, this comedy designed to pay tribute to jazz and blues music contains a surprising conservative subtext. Blues singer siblings Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues embark "on a mission from God" by reuniting their bandmates, who have scattered around Chicago, so they can raise money to save the Catholic orphanage wherein they grew up. Despite being R-rated for vulgar language and often destructive slapstick comedy, it's Vatican approved. One less popular sequel premiered in 1998, ''Blues Brothers 2000''.<ref>[http://liveshots.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/06/18/vatican-blesses-blues-brothers/ Vatican Calls The Blues Brothers "Catholic", FOXNews, June 19, 2010]</ref>

|Based upon the adventures of the patriotic superhero from Marvel Comics (and perhaps the company's most conservative superhero ever created), the frail, sickly U.S. Army recruit Steve Rogers is enhanced to the peak of human physicality by an experimental serum, then uses his newfound supersoldier abilities to combat Nazi terror in Europe while wearing a star-spangled uniform to avoid identification and carrying a throwable shield. Ultimately, he hunts down Nazi supersoldier Johan Schmidt/Red Skull, who was subject to an early, flawed version of Rogers' serum and has stolen the Tesseract, an energy source of unknown potential. Though Rogers succeeds, he is soon left with no choice but to crash Schmidt's aircraft into a glacier, leaving him frozen in suspended animation for decades until he wakes up in 2012 and readies for the events of the next film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ''The Avengers''. Virtues shown include patriotism, perseverance, and the courage to confront evil dictators. It condemns against globalist views in the climax of the film, as Schmidt, when taunting Rogers, says, "I've seen the future, Captain! There are no flags!", referring to Rogers' choice to fight for his nation rather than harness the power of gods. Rogers rejects his claim by shouting, "Not my future!" Capitalism is painted positively in the form of a young Howard Stark (father of fellow Marvel superhero Tony Stark/Iron Man), who is first seen holding an expo for possible future inventions, including a flying car. The film condemns infidelity and premarital relations as well: British intelligence agent Peggy Carter initially assumes that Rogers is cheating on her (she learns the girl he is first seen dating previously forced herself on him); and, when Howard says "fondue", he says he means a platonic dinner with Carter rather than innuendo for sex.

|As the most frequently aired movie on television as of 1977, this film 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.

|Based on the parallel lives of two British Olympians, devout Scottish Presbyterian [[Eric Liddell]], who wants to run for the glory of God, and Jewish Englishman [[Harold Abrahams]] both struggle to overcome prejudice in 1924 Britain. That year's Olympics Games was especially spiritual when Liddell refused the Prince of Wales' request that he perform his competition on a Sunday.

|This thriller highlights the deceit surrounding water rights in southern California and L.A.'s water system, removing most of the water from the central valley. It doesn't adhere to political correctness because the main protagonist is told a dirty joke at one point and later tells it to his fellow private detectives, who use the term "Chinaman." The sequel, ''The Two Jakes'', followed in 1990.

|This director’s cut is the rare example where it improves upon the theatrical cut. Matthew Murdock is Catholic and harassed by the fake news media. Unlike the theatrical cut, the film has a more explicit Roman Catholic subtext with a flashback of a nun taking care of Matt when he was a baby. Matt and his pal Foggy believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. In a subplot, they find Dante Jackson (played by Coolio) who was framed for murder of a woman and learn that the Kingpin’s right hand man Wesley killed her. They successfully proved that Jackson is innocent and is free. Matt promotes abstinence in exchange for helping people, unlike the theatrical cut where he has sex with Elektra.
