Conservative Movies Hollywood

As per challenge I won't re-invent the wheel.

Here are the list(s) I found.

1. National Review The Best Conservative Movies

Once in a blue moon, Hollywood releases a conservative movie, or at least a film that resonates with conservatives in a particular way. Because conservatives love movies — and especially debates about movies — we decided to produce a list of the 25 best conservative movies of the last 25 years. Our approach in selecting them doesn’t rise to the level of an actual methodology, but there was a method to it. We asked readers of National Review Online to submit nominations. Hundreds of suggestions came in, along with explanations and arguments. We considered each one, tallied them up, and consulted a number of film buffs and professional movie-makers.

We do not claim that the writers, directors, producers, gaffers, and key grips involved with these films are conservative. We certainly make no such assertion about the actors. Yet the results are indisputable: Conservatives enjoy these films because they are great movies that offer compelling messages about freedom, families, patriotism, traditions, and more.

American Film Renaissance Institute


The American Film Renaissance celebrates timeless American values by producing, showcasing and distributing films that promote freedom (including free speech, free enterprise and freedom of worship), rugged individualism and the triumph of the human spirit; and through supporting, nurturing and training filmmakers who share AFR’s mission.

=======================

As I said earlier I don't see conservatives as a single group sharing the a limited range "x" values in every category. Some in the left of centre like to refer their idealogy as more tolerant, as the  "Big Tent". I don't see it.

A theme for a film to be labelled "non-fiction conservativism" vs "fantasy conservativism" it would need to reflect the importance of personal responsibility,  realistic outcomes for those personal decisions.

Fantasy
The Left  choose Avatar vs Lord of The Rings

Non-fiction


Gran Torino - (Non fiction Conservative)



Ignored by Hollywood


Left

Capitalism: A love story.

No links for the left!
