3 points:

1) these things where people overanalyze movies to find themes that aren't there makes me wonder if people like Shakespeare were just out there trying to make a good story and didn't think twice about the underlying themes until professors grabbed hold of them.

2) Forrest Gump is probably the most blatantly conservative movie I can think of (aside from obvious stuff like Expelled or whatever).

3) Juno still sucks ass.

LMAO, they tried to claim 'team America: world police' was a conservitive movie just becuase it had a go at hollywood stars :laugh2: was that the only bit of the movie they watched? It only goes to prove what I thought before I had even clicked on the link; bunch of balls

When it came out, I can remember liberals going crazy about how offensive it was to the left! Sounds like Matt and Trey did their jobs well for that one!

LOL. I do like my movies! Keep in mind, however, that the list spans twenty five years. Both Ghostbusters and Red Dawn are from 1984.

Expelled was an excellent movie, but I guess its a documentary so its not on this list.

The ending was so great when he got that God-hating scientist, Richard Dawkins, to admit ID is possible, just that it couldn't be God as the designer lol.

Definitely a movie that would leave a liberal's head spinning.

Wow, I've seen 23 out of 25,with one sitting on my counter ready to watch.23/25 for me as well. I've not yet seen Gran Torino, but will once the DVD comes out. The other one I've missed was The Edge, which I'm putting on my Netflix queue now.


Expelled was an excellent movie, but I guess its a documentary so its not on this list.Expelled is a great movie in the same way that Bowling for Columbine or Loose Change 9/11 are great movies. All are well edited and convincing pieces of propaganda that play fast and loose with the facts to present their point of view, but a closer look shows numerous errors. But yes, it was well done and I can see it convincing those who don't bother to research the claims further.
