THX 1138 (1971 Warner Bros.)

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Imagine hearing a computer voice saying "What's wrong?" each and every time you go to your medicine cabinet.

Imagine a society where you health records and medication are 100% controlled by the government.

Oh yah, NOW we're getting scary.

George Lucas' Sci-Fi/Horror classic THX 1138 is a great conservative film about a small group of people who dare to take on a controlling and cruel government.

I have to say I think Lucas was a conservative. He had to be. Whether if he is now or not I just don't know. However, when you consider the values that this film and the Star Wars Saga (Episodes 4 & 5 in particular) no one can deny the anti-government theme they possess.

Now, I'm not gonna lie to ya'. This is a weird ass flick and at times kinda hard to follow. I wouldn't suggest it for a date movie by any means and keep the kids in bed too. However, give it a chance, I think you will be surprised.

Here is the review from IMDb...

The human race has been relocated to a underground city located beneath the Earth's surface. In the underground city, the population are entertained by holographic TV which broadcasts sex and violence and robotic police force enforces the law. In the underground city, society controls all life, all citizens are drugged to control their emotions and their behavior and sex is a crime. Factory worker THX-1138 stops taking the drugs and he breaks the law when he finds himself falling in love with his room-mate LUH 3417 and is imprisoned when LUH 3417 is pregnant. Escaping from jail with illegal programmer SEN 5241 and a hologram named SRT, THX 1138 goes in search of LUH 3417 and escape to the surface, whilst being pursued by robotic policemen.

If the letters THX look familiar to you...there's a good reason!

The Empire Strikes Back (Lucasfilm 1980)

Government doesn't like to be questioned.

Government doesn't like to be challenged.

When you make a stand against it, you must be prepared to face the consequences.

Kind of like if you destroy the Death Star...they're gonna bring it and bring it like you've never seen it before, son. But that's not the total reason Empire Strikes Back made it to Conservativeflix. Putting your faith in a higher power and NOT government is also a great value to have, and Luke Skywalker learns more about his religion (the force) through the teachings of his Jedi Master Yoda.

However in the movie, Luke makes a critical mistake all of us have done with our faith (especially yours truly)...lack of preparation and training. My friends, it is one thing to call yourself Christian or Jew (or in this case Jedi)...but are you prepared for life's challenges attached to this label? Are you prepared to face evil in Cloud City?

Luke wasn't and got his hand cut off and his ass kicked all over the place.

Empire Strikes Back and the original Star Wars: A New Hope could be the two most conservative movies ever made. If you haven't seen them, obviously you're a Trekkie who has no clue about anything going on in the universe.

Basically the other four movies...just plain sucked, but Return of the Jedi is at least bearable to watch.

I never could find the popcorn or the Easter egg, but I did find THE SHOE in the asteroid field scene... watch below at 2:47...IT'S QUICK!
