Top 10 Conservative Movies of the Last Decade

Subject: Top 10 Conservative Movies of the Last Decade Fri Jan 01, 2010 9:28 pm

This is a list of the ten best films of the last decade that have advanced a conservative message, ranging from strong support for the military and love for country to the defence of capitalism and the free market. These are all brilliant movies that conservatives can be inspired by, and which are guaranteed to offend left-wing sensibilities in one way or another.

This is not intended as a list of films made only by conservative filmmakers, who are, it has to be said, few in number. Ironically, some of the best films of all time that have projected conservative values have been made by directors who are apolitical or even politically liberal. Steven Spielberg’s magnificent Saving Private Ryan and Schindler’s List, Cy Enfield’s Zulu, and Roland Joffe’s The Killing Fields, are cases in point.

Hollywood may well be a bastion of liberalism, but it does continue to occasionally produce major films that advance conservative principles, not least because a large percentage of filmgoers in the United States are conservatives. Many of the films listed below were hugely successful at the box office.

A central theme that runs through several of my top ten picks is the eternal conflict between good and evil, and why the forces of tyranny and despotism must be confronted and defeated. They include films that Barack Obama should watch as he contemplates appeasing the likes of Iran and North Korea, or turning a blind eye to mass murder in Burma, Sudan and Zimbabwe. They also provide important lessons for the president as he faces the Taliban in Afghanistan and the broader threat posed by al-Qaeda.
