Conservitarian Movies

[Stewball]

That is, exemplary movies that promote standing for justice, reasonable philosophies for living-religion and opposing oppression

Gladiator--bread & circuses//in a democracy you gotta win the crowd but the crowd is a mob
Braveheart
Inherit the Wind
Mao's Last Dancer--communism vs. capitalism
The Help
The Tree of Life--If there is a God, He does not intervene
The Brave One
Sucker Punch
High Noon
Robin Hood (2010)--Opposes an oppressive crown, sheriff and church
Schindlers's List
To Kill a Mockingbird
Doubt--religion's biggest problem, if God intervenes, then why (fill in the blank)?
Eyes Wide Shut--the primacy of fidelity and the need to avoid jealousy
The Devil's Advocate--vanity (valuing your rights above other's) is the ONLY sin
The Dark Knight--pretty standard except for Alfred's speech about those who "just want to watch the world burn".
Rambo--all three (opposing oppression, standing for justice and reasonable philosophies), "God didn't save you, we did".

Anyone moronic enough to suggest Birth of a Nation will have a burning cross staked into his heart.

Serious nominations gladly considered.

Birth of a nat...

No, wait, I don't know if I've fully acknowledged the meaning of the word, but would Fury and The Ox-Bow incident apply?

Really, any film by Frank Capra, who was a noted conservative director. Especially Mr Smith Goes to Washington.

Additionally, there is a very sneaky undercurrent of this in many of Sidney Lumet's pictures whether it's Network or his various cop/court dramas.

Not sure, I haven't seen either of them.

Conservative then is reactionary now, and libertarian would be like the politics of the devil now. And Capra's films all had a healthy dose of saccharin anyway, and don't get me started on Jimmy Stewart or It's a Wonderful Life. I do remember Lost Horizon being good and was sort of and anti-utopian.

Lumet had a pretty wide range of subjects, but Network definitely.
