|A 37-year-old father reverts to age 17 through a visit to a mysterious janitor and learns that choosing family, which he strives to support however he can, and life over death and possible material riches is much more rewarding and fulfilling even if it is not always apparent. The film stands up for [[abstinence]] and self-respect, and contains a strong speech for both of them, as in this quote: "Because there is no one that I'm in love with. It's called making love, isn't it? Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think that means you do it with someone you love. And preferably when you're married, when you're ready to take that love and turn it into a baby." The concept of fatherhood is painted positively as well because he ultimately learns he was reverted to age 17 so he could see things from his children's perspectives and help them resolve their problems.

Rab C. Nesbitt fans will be astounded by then-unknown actor Gregor Fisher's faultless English accent as Parsons.

|Hero Ace Ventura is an animal lover, but not an animal rights activist, and prefers [[conservation]]. In addition in recent years, liberals have criticized this movie under claims of it "attacking" the LGBT community, as the main villain is a gender-confused man who pretended to be a "woman". Ventura literally freaks out when he realized he really made out with a man, as does everyone else later when they find out the truth. Ventura also calls him by his biological gender.

|This live-action adaptation of the [[conservative]] text of the same name from [[George Orwell]] (and of the 1954 original animation) uses animals in the pretext of leveling harsh criticism against [[Communism]] and against [[Joseph Stalin]]. Unlike the source material, the film literally shows Animal Farm collapsing due to the excesses posed by the evil Napoleon, a Berkshire boar and a metaphor for Stalin, and his pigs, which is ultimately justified due to the collapse of the Soviet Union years earlier under similar reasons for Animal Farm's collapse.

After being through out of the house by his mother who believes his is a kidnapper, he must take in life as an adult.

In the end Josh realizes he misses his family and returns home. So a little pro-family message there as well.

This shows how important it is for a family to have both a mother and a father. It also condemns the homosexual agenda, as it favors traditional gender roles because the father’s oldest daughter gradually gives up her tomboyish style, to actually look like a traditional girl. Also has a celebration of baseball as well.

|As in ''[[1984]]'', over-arching government is unambiguously shown here to be both an evil and a danger to all humanity, exactly as [[Weber]] foresaw. Made half a decade before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this first film in ex-Python [[Terry Gilliam]]'s "dystopia triptych" - later: Twelve Monkeys (1995), The Zero Theorum (2013) - splendidly dresses its timely, [[Orwell]]ian premise in a [[Kafka]]-esque bureaucratic nightmare of spirit-crushingly dismal yet relentlessly authoritarian mediocrity; not since [[King Lear]] have the 'grey men' of history been so acutely exposed. The later films are difficult to assess by today's standards of conservatism, although Twelve Monkeys is admittedly an outstanding cinematic achievement even if [[Blade Runner]] screen-writer David People's co-written sceenplay is politically harder to place; Zero Theorum's hero, Qohen Leth, is named after Qoheleth/Koheleth, anonymous author of the book of [[Ecclesiastes]], but the only quality Leth seems to share with his wise, jaded, cynically pragmatic namesake is other-worldliness.

|Based upon the adventures of the patriotic superhero from Marvel Comics (and perhaps the company's most conservative superhero ever created), the frail, sickly U.S. Army recruit Steve Rogers is enhanced to the peak of human physicality by an experimental serum, then uses his newfound supersoldier abilities to combat Nazi terror in Europe while wearing a star-spangled uniform to avoid identification and carrying a throwable shield. Ultimately, he hunts down Nazi supersoldier Johan Schmidt/Red Skull, who was subject to an early, flawed version of Rogers' serum and has stolen the Tesseract, an energy source of unknown potential. Though Rogers succeeds, he is soon left with no choice but to crash Schmidt's aircraft into a glacier, leaving him frozen in suspended animation for decades until he wakes up in 2012 and readies for the events of the next film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ''The Avengers''. Virtues shown include patriotism, perseverance, and the courage to confront evil dictators. It condemns against globalist views in the climax of the film, as Schmidt, when taunting Rogers, says, "I've seen the future, Captain! There are no flags!", referring to Rogers' choice to fight for his nation rather than harness the power of gods. Rogers rejects his claim by shouting, "Not my future!" Capitalism is painted positively in the form of a young Howard Stark (father of fellow Marvel superhero Tony Stark/Iron Man), who is first seen holding an expo for possible future inventions, including a flying car. The film condemns infidelity and premarital relations as well: British intelligence agent Peggy Carter initially assumes that Rogers is cheating on her (she learns the girl he is first seen dating previously forced herself on him); and, when Howard Stark says "fondue", he says he means a platonic dinner with Carter rather than innuendo for sex.

|The United Nations proposes that the Avengers, the main superhero team of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, be put under their control. A rift in the team forms because of the disagreement between its two co-leaders: Tony Stark/Iron Man is for this measure, while Steve Rogers/Captain America is against it. Rogers, who believes in self-governance and along with his allies (Bucky Barnes/the Winter Solider, Sam Wilson/Falcon, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Clint Barton/Hawkeye, and Scott Lang/Ant-Man) that it would be harmful to have the Avengers require government permission to fight a crime, never changes his stance on the issue. Through persistence, he prevents the UN from placing the whole group under globalist control.

|This most frequently aired movie on television as of 1977, this film was based on the play "Everybody Comes to Rick's." The triumph in the film of fidelity over promiscuity is a strongly [[conservative]] theme, and this movie portrays [[marriage]], [[love]], and fighting for freedom in a compelling way. This film glorifies self-sacrifice for greater good, and promotes doing what's right even at expense to oneself (Rick, as played by [[Humphrey Bogart]]). [[Vichy France]] and [[Nazi]]s are disparaged. The actors and actresses on the set of the filming conducted themselves admirably off-camera, in contrast with other films, and even played [[chess]] during breaks and in a filmed scene.

The omnipotent and benevolent lion Aslan, a stand-in for [[Jesus]], is instrumental in this goal since he frees Narnia from being frozen in a perpetual winter with no Christmas and because he sacrifices himself in place of orphan Edmund, who is temporarily manipulated by the White Witch, and resurrects in a Christ-like manner (according to Aslan, there is a "deeper magic from before the dawn of time" that will resurrect anyone killed in place of a traitor). Besides sacrifice, morals include courage, loyalty, friendship, honor, and redemption.

|Bleeding heart New York City liberal Paul Kersey learns the importance of the Second Amendment following a brutal attack on his wife and daughter. Following this he begins fighting back against muggers and is deemed a [[vigilante]]. During this time crime begins to decline (because criminals don't normally attack armed civilians). However contrary to popular belief, the film does not glorify vigilantism, as the film acknowledges that if the vigilante isn't stopped it could led to [[anarchy]] (pure [[Marxism]] is the complete absence of government). Followed by four sequels in 1982, 1985, 1987 and 1994. Remake in 2018.

| Based on the comic strip ''Judge Dredd''. Anti-drug war film where villains are drug dealers and addicts who are portrayed as very sadistic individuals, the hero Judge Dredd, assisted by a Judge-in-training who is also a psychic, is forced to fight them. The film shows the bravery of the police officers who do what's right, while the film's main villain, a female drug lord nicknamed "Ma-Ma", tries to hinder their progress by calling in several corrupt Judges (akin to the corrupt liberal judges who currently populate various courts in the United States in real life to pervert justice and repeatedly violate the Constitution) to interfere with the honest Judges.
