The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (Andrew Adamson, 2005); Cinderella Man (Ron Howard, 2005); Gran Torino (Clint Eastwood, 2008); Juno (Jason Reitman, 2007); The Passion of the Christ (Mel Gibson, 2004); Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone, 2006); Tears of the Sun (Antoine Fuqua, 2003); United 93 (Paul Greengrass, 2006); We Were Soldiers (Randall Wallace, 2002).
I have to say I'm ashamed to admit I haven't seen some of these yet, but I have to ask where are the following movies:
Taken - You cannot tell me that this is not the epitome of what a conservative movie stands for.
The Blind Side - I know it only just came out this year, but I can't think of anyone who hasn't mentioned this movie this season. All about the strength of the family and
The Incredibles - WHAT? Not even on the list?!? Okay, I know that animation movies aren't the top of the movie critics world, but this one has the ultimate conservative message behind the movie.
The Kingdom - This is one that honestly, should have been on the list from the get-go. No, not because it's about Islamic terrorists vs. US intelligence forces (although that's a BIG Plus for this one), but because it actually showed what is NECESSARY to compete with people who want to kill you (although the ending message left a sour taste...)
Team America - Hey, any movie that attacks the 'demagoguery' of the govt, Hollywood, and the world "axis of evil" can't be wrong, can it?
So I figured I'd adjust the list (based of course on movies I've actually seen).
1. The Incredibles
2. Taken
3. The Pursuit of Happyness
4. The Kingdom
5. The Dark Knight
6. The Chronicles of Narnia
7. The Blind Side
8. United 93
9. Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
10. Hotel Rwanda
