For all the bitching and moaning about "liberal, PC, left-wing, communist" agendas in a lot of movies, I have been waiting for years for a "conservative, moral, family values, Jesus loving, 'Murica" based movie to

A.) be made

and

B.) make major box office

and/or

C.) be critically acclaimed

Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, The Hurt Locker, King's Speech, and Argo all say hi. Jesus, can people not see it when their values are on display because they are so busy having their jimmies rustled over The Help being popular? EVERY WAR MOVIE is practically an ad for the army (some of them literally - the army doesn't pay for bad advertising).

My big rip off is still LA Confidential losing to Titanic. LA Confidential is a great, great film that hasn't exactly been lost to history, but it does not enjoy the rep it should. all because of that damn boat. The Artist beating anything ticks me off, but it was a down year (I'd have voted for the Descendants, but that's not an Oscar-y film)
