Independence Day, a very corny movie that I enjoyed very much, was just on last weekend. I watched it again. That was a huge hit and a conservative film.

Nobody said it yet so Red Dawn -- the ultimate film.

...I wonder what the New "MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE" will be like. The first one really did get the Message home about how the Communists of the World can brainwash human beings =

...A Real Threat to FREEDOM.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

Thank you for Asking, I carried Radio and Drove for both MOORE and PLUMLEY in the Central Highlands of Vietnam in 1965.

Please see my own Personal Photos I took of Lt. Col. HAL G. MOORE and Sgt/Major BASIL PLUMLEY posted on the now Retired General's Website:

"The American Film Renaissance Institute (AFRI) will provide resources to conservative, pro-American documentary and feature filmmakers"

 

This about making NEW movies, y'all. Not about your fave Hollywood or 30 years ago movie list.

Try to grasp the significance.

 

[Maigret]

OK, which films do you think should be in a Conservative Film Festival?

Anything by Horton Foote - Tender Mercies, Trip to Bountiful, Tomorrow, Courtship, On Valentine's Day, 1918, Habitation of Dragons, Lily Dale. Including the Faulkner stories made into film that Horton helped write the screenplay for - Intruder in the Dust, Old Man

And since Conservative equals intelligence and taste I'd surely add good films based on the classics - Austen, Dickens, Trollope, Hugo.

"Henry the V"

Sorry. Wrong. A propaganda film about a major war criminal, composed by a suck-up to the sovereign state and a toady to Queen Liz (Shakespeare, not Branaugh). Great lines, evil history. Like having Hitler declaim in iambic pentameter. Sorry. In particular, the line where the King is told by one of his soldiers about how "We should obey the King in spite of the fact that he's probably wrong because and our obedience will wash the stain of the bad cause out of us" (a paraphrase, obviously, I'm not Willieboy) was proven invalid at the Nuremberg trials.

"Das Boot"

Or, "How We Decided To Kill ON Behalf Of A Genocidal Maniac Despite The Fact We Knew Better."

Neither are the least bit conservative.

[CONSERVE]

Red Dawn for sure also Patriot

[cinFLA]

Hitler was not a direct threat to the United States,

Huh?

[Burkeman1]

Oh Come on. I am talking about "Henry the V" the story as told by Shakespeare (whomever he was- most likely the Earl of Oxford) not the true history. As a stroy it has great conservative subtext.

"Das Boot" is a great conservative film as well as it exposes the puffery and lies of modern totalitarian states in waging war. I forgot to mention another film- "Metropolitan" by the same director that did "Barcelona". The "Last days of Disco" is another sleeper by the same director.

No comedies?
The Pirates of Penzance?
Topper Returns?
Young Frankenstein?
Canadian Bacon?
Singin' in the Rain?

He served during relative peace time. After college he joined the army reserves 1965 after a year of law school (he never finished law school). Viet Nam was just starting up then. He never thought he would be sent to Viet Nam since he was in the guard. But his unit was called up in 68' and he was sent to Colorado to await deployment for Nam. Johnson never did send them. It was somewhat of a political issue at the time if guard units should be used. My oldest brother was two years old at this time and I was on the way. But regardless- even if he went to Nam he was by that time an intel specialist (Sargent 2nd class I think) and would have sat in an air conditioned van looking at and analyzing aerial photos.

We don't need "conservative films". We need good films that don't trash traditional values and mores. We need films that celebrate the good in America and its people(as opposed to its elites).

Eventually they will have tributes and restoration projects a la AFI.

"Chocolat" as a conservative movie?
