The Truman Show (Paramount 1998)

How in the world did I forget The Truman Show?

Great movie, even if you're not a big Jim Carrey fan. Quite honestly, I thought he did an extraordinary job with this role. Below is from IMDb...

In this movie, Truman is a man whose life is a fake one... The place he lives is in fact a big studio with hidden cameras everywhere, and all his friends and people around him, are actors who play their roles in the most popular TV-series in the world: The Truman Show. Truman thinks that he is an ordinary man with an ordinary life and has no idea about how he is exploited. Until one day... he finds out everything. Will he react?

Now some libs might say after watching this Now see? SEE!? Big business is EVIL! A corporation bought Truman and exploited him!

Though this is true in the film I don't recall too many conservatives wishing that government or corporate America control their lives. What gets me about The Truman Show is the discovery of TRUTH and what do you do with the TRUTH?

Throughout the history of the world, billions have been enslaved by dictatorships they once whole-heartedly supported. However, when these people learned the TRUTH it was time to make a plan. It was time to take risks. It was time to either live free or die trying.

The Truman Show also portrays the media in a very dim light...of course we all know that the media is usually fair right? Right?

These are just a few reasons why this movie is so remarkable and if you haven't seen it, please do!

Rules of Engagement (Paramount 2000)

Great suggestion from ASM826 over at Random Acts of Patriotism for this one!

One thing I think the viewer should keep in mind while watching Rules of Engagement is that this film was made pre-9/11. Ask yourself this question. Does Hollywood have the guts to make a film like this now?

Here is the movie summary from IMDb...

Colonel Terry Childers is a 30-year Marine veteran: a decorated officer with combat experience in Vietnam, Beirut and Desert Storm. But now, the country he served so well has put him on trial for a rescue mission that went terribly wrong. For his attorney, he has chosen Marine Colonel Hayes Hodges, a comrade-in-arms who owes his life to Childers. Hodges is not the best lawyer in the service, but Childers trusts him as a brother Marine who knows what it's like to risk death under fire. Bound by duty and friendship, Hodges reluctantly takes the case, even as he begins to doubt the man who saved his life in Vietnam three decades ago.

City of Ember (Paramount 2008)

Who would have guessed it?

Bill Murray?

Bill Murray has starred in more conservative movies than any other star according to MY blog (which as we all know is the first and last name of conservative movies). The Lost City, Ghostbusters, Stripes, and now City of Ember!

He should rank with all of the great right-wing Hollywood royalty: Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, Charlton Heston and Jimmy Stewart. And wouldn't you know it? He teams up with two of Hollywood's biggest libs Tim Robbins and Tom Hanks (producer) of this week's conservative movie. Ya gotta love it!

We all trust our government...right? The all knowing all caring government is always right and we are always wrong. That's the premiss of this week's film City of Ember.

Would you like to live in a state where your government strays from historic values and teachings that work? Or where your government picks out your child's future? Or tells you lies when your world is slowing being destroyed?

Ohhhh.

Hmmmm.

Perhaps you should just read this review from IMDb...

Ember is a city built to last 200 years from the Earth Destroyed by Blobs Humans Aliens called "Drei" . The builders of Ember left instructions to the mayors in a box that would open by itself. Unfortunately, one of the mayors was lazy and tossed the box into a closet, where it was forgotten for generations.

The year is 2416 A.D. After the Earth's destruction. Lina Mayfleet, and Doon Harrow are two children in Ember who find themselves on a mission to save their dying city. The city's lights are beginning to flicker and food supplies are running out.

Doon lands a job at the Pipeworks where he wants to try to repair the failing generator. Lina's job is simple - she is a messenger, but she soon finds herself in over her head when she discovers the box of instructions left by the builders so long ago.

Doon and Lina find themselves on a wild adventure when they discover the way out of Ember, but corrupt officials and a treacherous mayor stand against their wish to save the city. With courage and heart they brave the darkness - all to help their fellow citizens escape the dying city.

If you have a kid and want to teach him/her some early political conservative values, folks this is the film for your family! I highly recommend City of Ember and welcome your comments when you see this film.

This could be one of the classics your kids will remember!

We Were Soldiers (Paramount 2002)

I knew there was a reason.

I knew there was a reason why I find most movies about the Vietnam War distasteful.

They're liberal.

Most WWII movies aren't, but when it comes to Vietnam the Hollywood Left loves using it as a personal punching bag for their anti-military and anti-American views.

Then there is the Mel Gibson classic We Were Soldiers. Instead of making our guys look like a bunch of nutjobs, Gibson tells the true story of heroic young men and their families. You want to pull for these guys. You're heart will break when they fall, and you will rejoice when they stick it to the North Vietnamese.

What if stories like this made it out to the general public during the 1960's? Would the outcome of the war be different? Would Vietnam be a different place? Would America?

Saving Private Ryan (Paramount 1998)

Saving Private Ryan is hands down the greatest war movie ever made...period. So many times I have pointed out in my blog, liberal actors and directors (such as Tom Hanks and Stephen Speilberg) can make the greatest conservative movies ever made. This film is no different.

Ever wonder why that is? It's easy, really. Conservative theme movies sell. Go to Blockbuster someday and look to see how many people rented Milk this weekend. Not many.

However, when you talk to people about greatest movies of all time, Ryan is usually close to the top of everyone's list! If you haven't seen it, where the heck have you been?

This movie has everything a conservative would like in movie! Honest to God heroes, American sacrifice and patriotism.

Here is the review from IMDb...

During WWII, Chief of Staff, General Marshall is informed that three of a woman's sons have been killed and that she's going to receive the notifications of their demise at the same time. And when he learns that a fourth son is still unaccounted for, the General decides to send a unit to find him and bring him back, despite being told that it's highly unlikely that he is still alive and the area that he was known to be at is very dangerous. So the unit consisting of 8 men are sent to find him but as stated it's very dangerous and one by one, each of them are being picked off. Will they find him and how many of them will still be alive.

An American Rhapsody (Paramount 2001)

This has to be one of the best movies I've seen in a long time folks! Not only does An American Rhapsody have an anti-commie theme but it also presents pro-family and pro-American values too!

Wow! Here is the synopsis from IMDb...

In 1950, a Hungarian couple, Peter and Margit, are forced to flee from the oppressive communist country for America with their eldest daughter Maria, but are forced to leave behind their infant daughter Suzanne who is raised by kindly foster couple. 6 years later, Peter and Margit arrange for the American Red Cross to bring Suzanne to their new home in Los Angeles where the perplexed youth is forced to accept her sudden change in home and country which leads to a troubled growing up. At age 15, the rebelious and unsure-of-herself Suzanne tries to come to terms with her roots and decides to travel back to Budapest, Hungary to find her true identity.

Here is the trailer!

Forrest Gump (Paramount 1996)

Some of the best conservative movies...are just plain accidents folks.

If you've been a fan of this blog for awhile now, you've realized some of the flicks I review also have some of the biggest lib actors and actresses...! Hollywood really wants to make fun of values, God, and patriotism, but most of the films that have any success at the box office just don't reflect their negative values. As a matter of fact (leading up to our movie of the week), while searching the web I cam across this.

Here is the synopsis for IMDb...

A man with a low IQ has accomplished great things in his life and been present during significant historic events - in each case, far exceeding what anyone imagined he could do. Yet, despite all the things he has attained, his one true love eludes him. "Forrest Gump" is the story of a man who rose above his challenges, and who proved that determination, courage, and love are more important than ability.

"Tom Hank's earnest and realistic rather than satirical portrayal of Gump's retardation unintentionally ennobles him and his values in contrast to silly and selfish but oh so much smarter leftists."

Hey...sounds good to me! Forrest Gump is the Edge Conservative Movie of the Week!

It still cracks me up when he is a little kid and the expression on his face when his braces break off!

The Untouchables (Paramount 1987)

I love this movie, and I think you will too (if ya' haven't seen it yet!) Next to Open Range, this may be Kevin Costner's best film.

I guess you could say it's in the same spirit of High Noon, though Costner's character Elliott Ness gets at least some help to fight Al Capone's ruthless gang. The people of Chicago love the benefits Capone has brought businesses during Prohibition, but also live in fear of his brutal thugs and terror attacks across the city.

The only ones who will stand up to the infamous mobster are ridiculed by there own and terrorized by Capone's henchmen.

Here is a plot synopsis from IMDb...

1920's prohibition Chicago is corrupt from the judges downward. So in going up against Al Capone, Treasury agent Eliot Ness picks just two cops to help him and his accountant colleague. One is a sharp-shooting rookie, the other a seen-it-all beat man. The four of them are ready to battle Capone and his empire, but it could just be that guns are not the best way to get him.

The Untouchables is a classic good vs. evil film...but asks a simple question that so many people have a hard time aswering...which side are you on?

The baseball scene (kinda violent so be prepared.)

The Hunt for Red October (Paramount 1990)

If you break every chain, rip up every fence, and bulldoze every wall where will the free people run? China? France? Canada? If you listen to folks like Michael Moore or any Dem candidate running for President you would have to assume so. However, we all know (or should know) the primary destination for free people, and the Hunt for Red October tells a great story of defection, bravery, and freedom! Here is the review from Internet Movie Database.

Sean Connery plays Marko Ramius, a senior Lithuanian sub captain whose plans to defect are met with strong opposition by his own Soviet navy, and American misconceptions of his intentions. Alec Baldwin plays CIA analyst Jack Ryan, the one man who sees the defection, and must convince most of the American navy he is correct. The action climaxes with an amazing naval battle, but who will win The Hunt for Red October?

Here is the trailer from the film.



Always be careful what you shoot at.

Rear Window (Paramount 1954)

We've all done it. Watched our neighbors. Just seeing what there up to today. But only the great Alfred Hitchcock could make a film that would take something so innocent...and turn it into something so deadly.

In 1950-something New York, an adventuresome free-lance photographer finds himself confined to a wheelchair in his tiny apartment while a broken leg mends. With only the occasional distraction of a visiting nurse and his frustrated love interest, a beautiful fashion consultant, his attention is naturally drawn to the courtyard outside his "rear window" and the occupants of the apartment buildings which surround it.

Soon he is consumed by the private dramas of his neighbors lives which play themselves out before his eyes. There is "Miss Lonely-hearts," so desperate for her imaginary lover that she sits him a plate at the dinner table and feigns their ensuing chat. There is the frustrated composer banging on his piano, the sunbathing sculptress, the shapely dancer, the newlyweds who are concealed from their neighbors by a window shade, and a bungling middle-aged couple with a little yapping dog who sleep on the fire escape to avoid the sweltering heat of their apartment.

...And then there is the mysterious salesman whose nagging, invalid wife's sudden absence from the scene ominously coincides with middle-of-the-night forays into the dark, sleeping city with his sample case. Where did she go? What's in the trunk that the salesman ships away? What's he been doing with the knives and the saw that he cleans at the kitchen sink?

Even if you don't like Jimmy Stewart (Brooke) this is a good movie with a GREAT conservative theme (especially when you consider today's climate with the War on Terror) ... keep your eyes and ears wide open for anything... because folks, you just never know.

The trailer from Rear Window.

World Trade Center (Paramount 2006)

When I first heard that Oliver Stone was making a film about 9/11 my first reaction, like so many other conservative movie goers, was Great, that should be a George Bush Bash Fest! A friend of mine assured me that Stone was not making the film to attack Bush but to tell a true story from that horrible day.

World Trade Center is the third film about 9/11 on ECM (United 93, Path to 9/11 being the other two) . I highly recommend anyone to watch all three! You won't regret it, I promise you! Below is a summary from the film I found on Internet Movie Database. I think this guy summed up the movie better than I could!

In the aftermath of the World Trade Center disaster, hope is still alive. Refusing to bow down to terrorism, rescuers and family of the victims press forward. Their mission of rescue and recovery is driven by the faith that under each piece of rubble, a co-worker, a friend a family member may be found. This is the true story of John McLoughlin and William J. Jimeno, two of the last survivors extracted from Ground Zero and the rescuers who never gave up. It's a story of the true heroes of that fateful time in the history of the United States when buildings would fall and heroes would rise, literally from the ashes to inspire the entire human race.

Rent it folks! Again, you won't be sorry you did!



Nicholas Cage does a great job in this film...he even speaks Spanish!
