Academy Award time: What's the most liberal movie of all time?

[cincinnati65]

Which movie (past or present) embodies the most liberal message?

[cincinnati65]

Having just endured this piece of tripe recently, I would have to say "The Cider House Rules"

[Britton J Wingfield]

Bambi.

[stands2reason]

"Hair"

[RLK]

In recent periods, The Contender.

[stylin_geek]

I would have to go with "American Pie."

[The KG9 Kid]

9 Angry Men.

[beckett]

I nominate American Beauty. Whether it's the most liberal movie of all time may be debatable, but it belongs on the list.

"The Contender" was on tonight...

[xp38]

Reds, All the Presidents Men, the list like the top 5 Hollywood liberals thread is quite long.

[cincinnati65]

I managed to make it through the Contender, realizing that the film was just another in a long line of "high-minded" Clinton-excuser film, explaining to us simple minded folk how we just aren't thinking right. Cider House Rules really ticked me off. I sensed what was coming early on in the movie, and stuck it out only to see if I was right.

The American President, wasn't it? With michael douglas?

[Cultural Jihad]

Dr. Strangelove, or any propaganda which the libertarians and communists both laud.

[Gordian Blade]

I love these threads, although some FR die-hards think they are a waste of bandwidth. The Ciderhouse Rules would certainly qualify in the recent films category. Going back to the classics, how about The Grapes of Wrath?

[xp38]

Letter to Brezhnev was a doozy....about two English gals/morons who decide to move to the USSR during the cold war.

[Shethink13]

9 Angry Men.

That would be 12 Angry Men...and I concur. Every time I see this film I get more outraged.

[Clemenza]

Most Liberal movie of the past six months: John Q. What a load of propaganda, despite a fine performance by Denzel Washington, who, BTW SHOULD win for Training Day

Most Liberal film of all time: Our Daily Bread

[Doctor Stochastic]

I'd have to agree with "The Grapes of Wrath." One of the few movies directed by John Ford that I don't like.

[LarryLied]

Triumph of the Will

[Texas Cornhusker]

American Pie? I think you must have meant American Beauty, in Pie I dont sense any message to be gained.

[Gordian Blade]

No, not Dr. Strangelove, that's one of my favorites! But if you want a liberal one about nuclear war, try Failsafe or even The Bedford Incident. For the liberal fear of a military coup, try Seven Days in May.
