9. good call!
how about "Sgt. York" for a conservative movie? Alvin York is a hell-raiser who finds religion. Tries for a deferment on religious grounds. Goes in as a conscientious objector and is converted into a MoH winner.

15. Why is The Jesus chainsaw Massacre regarded as
such a big conservative flick? The authorities (Rome) kick the snot out of a dissedent and yet, He triumphs in the end! Seems that Cons would hate such a story.

23. "The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre"
:rofl:

Not minimizing the suffering of a historical character. Just laughing at the send-up of Mel's movie.

21. The China Syndrome - highly recommended to the youngsters.
Not overtly conservative or liberal, but one can surely see where the lines are drawn. Great movie.
