The Top 10 Conservative Movies of the Last Decade

[Barrister]

ALthough I haven't seen it, Persuit of Happyness is the only one that sounds like it has an identifiable conservative message.

Only because its character eschews Gittin' On Dat Dere Welfare, and pulls himself up by his bootstraps, which would appeal to racist conservatives and Uncle Toms like Clarence Thomas who incidentally never needed bootstraps in the first place.

[Razgovory]

For one thing, I think it's kind of nebulous what "conservative" means here.  It seems to be just what some conservatives happen to like.  David Vitter is a conservative and enjoys sex with hookers so apparently sex with hookers is a conservative value.

[Razgovory]

and ranks alongside Zulu, Saving Private Ryan and A Bridge Too Far as one of the greatest war films of all time.

Which of these does not belong?

The one where the bad guys are white?

[Josquius]

Nothing closeted about the Spartans. 

Its not  so out there in the movie though.

We all respect how much you've pulled yourself up by your bootstraps, too.

Sure, it's kind of nebulous what "conservative" means (just as the meaning of "liberal" is fairly elastic), but you can certainly pinpoint the vague outlines of what conservative values are:

-respect for tradition
-respect for family
-belief in the individual over the group
-religion
-support the military
-free enterprise
-self reliance

It's not than "liberals" are opposed to any of the above, but those are values more emphasized by Conservatives

Never claimed that I did.   

I was hardly born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but I've gotten a lot of support from my parents growing up.

Saving Private Ryan. How in the hell they can compare that movie to Zulu angers me.

And Grabner's death ride? Cinema perfection.

Just out of curiosity could you make a list for what liberals support?

[The Larch]

Even though it contains many of the same movies, here is a better list of Conservative movies - National Review's 25 best conservative movies of the last 25 years.

http://nrd.nationalreview.com/article/?q=YWQ4MDlhMWRkZDQ5YmViMDM1Yzc0MTE3ZTllY2E3MGM=

Even the titles it shares in common with the first list, it does a much better job of explaining why they are "conservative".

The list isn't perfect, but it's a better starting point.

Plus I bet you never thought of "Ghostbusters" as being a conservative movie.   

That list is only marginally less crappy than the 1st post's one. All the authors seem to project more than a multiplex.

Obviously anything with niggers, fags, Jews and unions stealing your tax money from the government to not work.
