Please check your calendar; it’s 2009, not 1948. Dems want felons in prison to be able to vote.

The only time I thought Benning was hot.

500+ posts? You’d think Sarah-Cuda made a movie.

I’ve got so many great ideas for movies with the Cuda. If only Hollywood would give me a chance.

Just saw it last week Grand Terino with Eastwood .I think it will go down as a great conservative movie.The Libs in hollywood hate it so thats a good sign.

I saw it too last week. Great movie and a ‘Conservative’ movie. Liberals should watch it to get an idea.

Greatest sports event in US history.

I was watching it while on an air liner and with seconds to go in the win over the commies, I had to cut off a pretty woman (explaining what was happening) as I watched the win. It was only a movie, but I felt so damn proud to be an American. I told the woman after that it was a ‘guy’ thing.

How about 70 years? Sergeant York 1941 starring Gary Cooper. One of my all time favorites. Just happened to transfer it from VHS to DVD tonight. Great movie…before Hollywood became socialist and anti-American.

Dude, you read my mind.

AllahP. needs some of that “Ole Time Religion” too.

They are just movies that conservatives happen to like.

But the best War on Terror movie has to be The Dark Knight… and then of course, The Siege (with Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis).

“You don’t fight a junkyard dog with ASPCA rules. What you do is take the leash off your bigger, meaner dog.”

it is a series, but rendered beautifully

i have a good one- not sure if it was mentioned, but the pursuit of happyness with will smith.

Great call. I watched it with my eight year old son the other day. The part when his son is playing basketball and Will Smith tells him he’ll never be in the NBA. His son stops dribbling the ball and looks sad. Will realizes he just crushed his boy’s dream and then says this quote….”You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can’t do it. You want something? Go get it. Period.”

Self-reliance, fighting against defeatism, doesn’t get much more conservative than that.

One more great quote from that movie, due to circumstances he could not control, he shows up to a job interview in only his pants. The boss at the company asks,”What would you say if a man walked in here with no shirt and I hired him? What would you say?”
His reply, “He must have had on some really nice pants.”

It’s one of the least conservative movies out there.

Maybe because I look at it as a ‘how to’ movie instead..

:)

Somalian leader to captured U.S. Pilot, “Without victory, there can be no peace.”

I was pleasantly surprised at the conservative themes in this movie:
Horton who believes in a being (the Mayor) who can’t be proven to exist by empirical methods, much to the distain of the Sour Kangaroo and the Mayor hearing a voice from an invisible entity in the sky reaping the scorn of most of Whoville’s citizens. The Kangaroo (symbolic of the government) stating that the speck must be destroyed and Horton caged for the “good of the children”.

God’s and Generals

It is a pretty accurate description of the War for Southern Independence and even Black/White relations ala De Tocqueville.

“The Lives of Others” and “The Lost City.”

I don’t have time to describe them, but I’m intensely conservative and enjoyed both of these.
