Movieguide: ‘Conservative’ movies make more money than ‘liberal’ ones Alexandra Myers - The Daily Caller 56 mins ago
Being a liberal or a conservative doesn’t only matter in politics — it matters in the box office, too. Movieguide, the Christian family guide to movies and entertainment, did a report showing that conservative movies make more money than liberal ones.
The Hollywood Reporter writes that the criteria Movieguide used to rate movies include whether a title promotes capitalism or socialism, or if it promotes or degrades biblical principles. Hot political issues, such as violence, feminism and homosexuality, are also considered.
Movieguide gave high scores to seven out of ten movies that were among the top ten films of 2011. This means they “qualify as films with strong or very strong Christian, biblical, moral, and redemptive content.”
There were 91 movies in 2011 that scored high in “conservative/moral catagories,” Movieguide reported, compared to the 105 that scored high in “liberal/leftist catagories.”
The difference, though, is that the 91 movies scored conservative earned an average of $59 million each, while the 105 “liberal” movies earned an average of $11 million each.
“Patriotism and traditional values, like those displayed in ‘Thor,’ ‘The Artist,’ ‘Soul Surfer’ and ‘Hugo,’ are what moviegoers want,” Movieguide wrote.

Somebody should figure how to shorten Unintended Consequences to screenplay length...
That one throws subtlety out the window...
when filming a conservative movie, the director should take every opportunity to mock the ideology/philosophy/agenda of those who would be our political masters. Going for the guffaw at the expense of the far left would increase the box office nicely.
I just got back from Movieguide.org. It took a while to find, because the article didn’t have the link, and the article it linked to didn’t have it. I went looking for good family movies to add to my Netflix queue, but it is a link pimp disaster. For instance, they have a list of top 100 movies, which would require 100 clicks to access. 100 slow loading, graphic heavy clicks. So, it isn’t going in my favorites.
Currently Courageous is the highest grossing small indie film in DVD sales. Before that ranking, Fireproof was the all-time highest grossing small indie film production.
Speaks volumes, doesn’t it.
I meant to say: Ill ADD that i can’t wait to see act of valor.
It comes out this month.
Supposed to be good?
They make their movies for each other ... not the general public. Well, maybe teenage boys.

Yes. Check out some of the trailers on youtube.
It is essentially bankrolled by the Navy so that it accurately portrays real life scenarios, vehicles, and equipment.
Also played by real SEALs. Looks like it should be good.
Yep, script by Iowahawk,
directed by Ace of Spades.
That would be good.
“Seems to work for TV, too, considering NCIS’s standing.”
