Let me add a few more conservative and Christian movies that college students are watching (me being a graduating Senior ;D):..

Signs..Pretty much shows that "miracles can happen" deals with faith in a higher power-God.

The Lord of The Rings..Standing against evil, against all odds, and with self-scrifice (then there are few Biblical parallels in the movies)

Narnia..Same as above, only that "It is The Passion, for Kids ;)"

Luther..retelling of the Story of the Christian leader, and reformer who (no offense to my Catholic brothers and sisters) God used to bring the Church back from the eave of disaster non-Biblical teachings/practics~

The Island..A very conservative movie that was not PC (even though it has some sex scenes..) it was a stand against cloning and seemed pro-life.

Another surprising one is PAYCHECK..I know most of you are wondering: WHAT IS HE THINKING..well I found that it was almost an allegory for the battle between God (Father, Son, Spirit) and Satan's evil minions (Satan, AntiChrist, and Unholy Profit) from an almost Catholic pov!

Anymore that Ya'll can think of..?

I'm not buying it. This list seems too contrived. How were these titles introduced--by the polster or freely volunteered by the those polled?

Does "conservative" modify college or college student? Are the numbers taken from college library loan records or from local video/DVD rental stores? What makes a student "conservative" (attendance at a Christian College) and how does this factor in?

Don't get me wrong. I've seen many on this list and own several myself. The choices seem heavily weighted by sex (Red Dawn, Dirty Harry, Death Wish). My daughter is quite conservative and may have chosen one or two from this list, but many of her favorites are not there: LOTR, October Sky, Frequency, (anything by M. Night Shyamalan), Rear Window, Shop Around the Corner, Patriot, The Court Jester, ...

PCU is one of the funniest underrated movies I know. The scene where David Spade is giving the passwords to Balls and Shaft's headquarters always cracks me up.,

That movie was hilarious.

Your wearing the T-shirt of the BAND! ....

Don't be that guy.
