Falling Down seems to appeal to conservatives, even though D-Fens is actually the bad guy (villain protagonist).

Gran Torino leans conservative

Of course Atlas Shrugged 😒

And Demolition Man if you really pay attention

The Conservative Mindset?

Let's see...Downfall and Mississippi Burning come to mind. Deliverance too.

McClintock.

John Wayne's character is the epitome of the conservative American patriarch.

Since someone brought up John Wayne's movies, his 'Green Berets' was pretty much an homage to conservative thought about the Vietnam War.

Additionally, Mel Gibson's been known to make a few movies that were heavy on political conservatism.

What are some movies you can think of that do the same for conservatives?
Try "Birth of a Nation" and "Triumph of the Will". They are radically racist and ethnically bigoted and should carry a pleasing message to conservatives.

It's a really interesting, although rather "artsy," film. A little depressing, but it's kind of a cool movie as told from the perspective of the "happy hermit couple's" young (but very bright) daughter. The visuals are really nice--New Mexico desert/steppe.

I don't see Idiocracy as leaning either way. I think it takes some heavy duty swipes at both sides.

It has been one of my favorites and the humor is over the top (which I like). But lately Idiocracy is seeming more and more like a Stephen King story. Very scary. It's scary because it seems to be coming true. And no, that is not me taking a swipe at liberals or conservatives. It's me taking a swipe at society in general.
