There's a certain documentary about 9/11 by National Geographic of all people, which speaks up level truths about what led to the tragedy.

I would take the Star Wars movies off of the list - especially the recent 3 that were made.

While the movies are not overtly political, the Galactic Senate is more of a United Nations construct than one of a capitalist Democratic Republic.

In fact, an argument can be made that life under the Galactic Empire was probably better as the Senate was corrupt and completely unable to effective govern.

The move Gung Ho, with Michael Keaton may go on the list - it isn't really friendly to auto unions.

Lucas has tried to revise his original trilogy through his prequels. NOW it's supposed to be about multicultural liberals who rebel against the conservative government (he's consistently said that the Emperor is Nixon).

The Killing Fields is curious in that many libs see it as showing that socialism is "perverted"--note the John Lennon socialist fantasy "Imagine" playing over the final reunion.

I'll have to think about some conservative flicks. Conan? THX-1138? James Bond? Rambo?

Maybe Top Gun since it portrays our military in a pretty good light.

If a movie can't get made, it can't get seen. Certain subjects and themes are taboo in big Hollywood movies, for instance anything anti-communist, anything even mildly critical of the "gay" lifestyle, anything "flag waving", pretty much anything pro-business, etc.

White Nights, while not a very spectacular movie, did portray communist russia in a very bad light.

I think that 1980s movie will pretty much be the only period where communists portrayed as villains were routinely made. The 70s was all about making social statement movies like the China Syndrome.

The Killing Fields?

Most of the actors, and writers were hardcore leftys.

My marxist teacher in college made the class watch it and write about it.

I thought it showed the evil side of marxism for what it really was.

She (admantly) disagreed by saying that pol pot corrupted marxism and that it showed proof that America was to blame.

The movie isn't conservative, its just anti-pol pot and anti-american at the same time.

It also is written just the way so that anyone can draw any conclusion they want from the movie.

High Noon

Because it shows the difference between populists and people with courage and convictions.

"Full of Life" starring Judy Holliday. A pro-life, pro-marriage-in-church, very Catholic movie that is nearly impossible to find for obvious reasons.

Goblet of Fire. Some very anti-socialist themes.
