"Earlier this week, I recommended 10 movies for Democrats to watch. So, to balance things out and hopefully show a lack of bias, I’ve now selected 10 recommendations for Republicans, too. This was actually the more difficult task, because there are so many classic films that display conservative values — and in the 1980s alone, I think there were about a billion films promoting relatively right-wing lifestyles and ideas. Therefore, I’ve limited my picks to the last two decades, except for one underrated gem that left me with quite an impression as a boy. The Dark Knight (2008) Some said Batman is Bush, others said Cheney, but either way this past summer’s superhero blockbuster resonated with certain conservatives who saw the film as something of an argument about — if not apology for — the actions of the current administration. Similarly, this summer’s Hancock and Iron Man have been read as being parti "

"Last Friday, I suggested that the prologue to Leni Riefenstahl’s Olympia be featured ahead of Olympics coverage. But I’ve changed my mind after seeing this montage created by L.A.’s Cinefamily (the gang behind the recently revitalized Silent Movie Theater) & Pimpedelic Wonderland for a 4th of July event last month. It clearly says everything there is to say about America, and it would certainly pump us up adequately for patriotically rooting for the U.S. teams. Plus, unlike like Olympia, it’s not made by Nazis; like Olympia, though, it has nudity! The only thing possibly more appropriately American than this video is Entertainment Weekly’s new interviews

"Oh my God. Let me put it plainly: FUCK. THIS. PROPAGANDA. PIECE. OF. SHIT. MOVIE. Wow – I hated, hated, hated this film and everyone involved in this film has gone down a notch in my book (Greg Kinnear, say it ain't so!). Where to begin? Let's start with the ham-fisted, uber-patriotic script, where white Americans don't know about the blatant racism that still plagued our country at the time (the washing machine scene), men in the throes of death proclaiming "I'm glad I could die for my country" (I threw up in my mouth a little at this point in the film). A man burned from head to toe telling a reporter (who he just happened to greet with a wink and a smile IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING BATTLE!) to tell his wife and just-born-that-day baby that he loves them – as the skin on his legs is literally oozing off. I've said it before – I hate being "milked" for an emotion like some mouth-breathing moron, and this movie does that in S ... "

"Not one to go for the war movies, what with political messages and ulterior motives, etc... but this one had Mel in it so I had to check it out. I was taken by the war sequences, drawn into them, viewing them from within, it seemed. I was even more impressed by the ending - and the wit and valor of those who were actually there. Mel chooses well, most of the time. When he's not into it purely for the fun, he gets down and dirty into the finer points of humanity - our darker sides are sometimes not as scary as profound. "
