How About a List of Movies We All Want to Watch?

So...

With all the angry fighting and yelling about health care on the news lately, I have been re-thinking my previous post. Not the content, but perhaps the approach or my knee-jerk reactions.

I have found that while people are usually open to hearing other people's opinions on their opinions, often more work gets done when people work together on a common text. It builds understanding and a foundation for relationship before introducing conflict.

SO, as a fun exercise, I have decided to assemble a list of films both "liberals" and "conservatives" would enjoy watching. Films that hold common assumptions and lessons appreciated by all people.



This is going to be a work in progress...mainly because I cannot think of many films that espouse a wide range of values.

The first one that comes to mind is "The Lion King". I know, its Disney, which has a sorded history around race and female body image, but this film seems to work around those controversies. The community is harmoniously diverse, Simba learns the importance of leadership and working hard to reach his personal potential in his community and Scar's greed family betrayal kills him. There's a little bit of "work hard to get where you are going" and "family is king" along with "lets make sure everyone has food" and "we learn more from our differences than out similarities".

Can you think of any other movies that are both "conservative" and "liberal" friendly?
