Team America winds up providing one of the best explanations of why we need people willing to fight terrorists and tyrants … which I can’t quote here.

Kinda says it all.

The Great Escape

TOO OLD. Doesn't make the Last 25 years cut.

The problem with this movie is it pushes crassness, toilet humor and other things conservatives dislike to the disgusting limit in order to ridicule the Hollywood crowd.

If I may roll it back 40 Years

To Sir with Love - 1967

Personal responsibility
Respect for authority
Grace under fire with race baiting

The Lord of the Rings (all of them)
The Passion of Christ

Those 4 movies drastically outshine all others
in the last 25 years

TA got a lot right even though I had to fast forward through the one really super offensive scene.

Matt Damon.....

Tears of the Sun. Navy SEALs take up a larger mission. Take a stand against Genocide and safeguard the last best hope for Freedom amidst inhumanity.

Rambo IV. I’ve always liked Rambo but Rambo IV is icing on the cake. Get rid of the gory battle scenes and it still stands out. Rambo gets Redemption, fights a cause of his own choosing and takes a stand against tyranny.

Would Live Free or Die Hard fit the bill?

I blanked on the 25 year part. Thought it was the top 25 ever.

Since I've only watched kids movies and 'Postman' in the last 25 years.... "Antz".

OK, would you consider Sylvester Stallone’s — Rocky a conservative movie ?

One of my favorites, and my husband and I quote from Forrest Gump all the time. We even named our puppy Forrest, since we got him when the movie was out and we couldn’t come up with a great name, we decided Forrest would be a great name, and it was. AND that dog “was a runnin’ fool”.

Oh, and I consider the new 3:10 to Yuma a conservative flick.

Thanks!

yes, but it does it in a pretty funny way. granted, not for everyone.
and to repeat something I told someone at a church function years ago (probably during South Park's first or second season): South Park doesn't really bother me. What will bother me is what comes after it. The SP people has a sense of where and when to push the line and for what purpose (they don't always succeed in this, I'll grant you). I'm more worried about the imitators that just want to use foul language and crass routines just because they can.

I'd be interested in reading your explanation as to why you would include this flick...

The Postman was a great film. kevin costner is a pant load but it’s still a great, great movie.
