Hollywood is one of the most hated institutions among conservatives. Conservatives have long written off Hollywood as a liberal establishment, and accuse the acting world of making movies that have a liberal bias. So what movies do conservatives hate? Here are 25 movies that conservatives hate and why.
1. The Pursuit Of Happyness: A down on his luck African-American works hard to become successful. It reminds them of that African-American in the White House.
2. Gettysburg: This one is easy. The South lost the battle.
3. A Time To Kill: An African-American in the South kills the two white men who raped his daughter and left her for dead. He is then successfully defended in court by a white attorney who comes to respect the African-American community.
4. Glory: Another easy one. African-American volunteers fight for the Union and their freedom during the Civil War and prove that they are as brave as any white soldier.
5. Erin Brockovich: This movie tells the story of Erin Brockovich, an unemployed single mother of three, who finds work at a legal firm and takes on a legal fight against the US West Coast energy corporation Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). Brockovich discovers that the energy corporation has been causing the illnesses in a town because of the industrial poisoning of the water supply. The corporation is ordered by a judge to pay over $300 million to the sick.
6. The Day After Tomorrow: Not only does climate change take center stage, it causes Americans to take refuge in Mexico.
7. A League Of Their Own: Women take over the sport of baseball and play just as good as the men.
8. Brokeback Mountain: The cowboys have a complex romantic and sexual relationship.
9. Milk: The story of Harvey Milk, and his struggles as an American gay activist who fought for gay rights and became California’s first openly gay elected official.
10. Avatar: Military contractors try to take over another planet to strip it of its resources but are stopped by big blue aliens who actually care about their environment.
11. Wall-E: A robot is charged with cleaning up the abandoned Earth which is covered with trash as a result of decades of mass consumerism facilitated by corporations. Humans return to Earth after discovering that plant life has begun to grow back and become more responsible and efficient stewards of the environment.
12. Happy Feet: A young penguin refuses to conform to his species way of life (singing) and is expelled from the colony by the evangelical-like elders because they fear that dancing could take over the old ways. He then returns after inspiring the humans to protect his species and the environment in which they live and convinces the entire population that dancing is just as good as singing.
13. Bruce Almighty: God is portrayed by Morgan Freeman, an African-American.
14. Horton Hears A Who!: An elephant tries to protect a microscopic civilization that only he can hear from being destroyed by a selfish know-it-all. Also written by a communist.
15. Juno: A strong independent unmarried teenage woman gets pregnant and CHOOSES to not have an abortion.
16. Spartacus: A slave leads a violent revolt against the decadent Roman Empire, i.e. Class Warfare
17. Charlie And The Chocolate Factory: A poor boy wins a tour of a chocolate factory/corporation and becomes a part owner without cheating or spending large sums of money.
18. The Blind Side: The story of Michael Oher, a homeless and traumatized African American boy who became an All American football player and first round NFL draft pick with the help of a caring white woman and her family.
19. X-Men: A group of humans with “differences” fight for their civil rights while defending the human population from evil.
20. Aladdin: A poor Arab boy becomes a wealthy prince and heir to the Sultan, and he’s not a terrorist.
21. My Fellow Americans: Two ex-Presidents, a Republican and a Democrat, work together to uncover a conspiracy and on their journey across the country, they meet a variety of ordinary people including a struggling family, an illegal immigrant, and a gay man. At the end of the film, they run for office on the same ticket. Imagine that. A Republican actually working with a Democrat.
22. Superman: An illegal immigrant from another planet infiltrates middle America, works as journalist, builds a fortress without spending any money, and saves the inhabitants of Earth no matter their nationality, race, gender, or economic status.
23. Jurassic Park: A movie about science and dinosaurs. Need I say more?
24. Iron Man: A billionaire weapons manufacturer has a change of heart about war and transforms his company into an advocate for world peace with a focus on alternative energy.
25. Star Trek: Lots of science, United Federation of Planets (similar to UN), utopian society in which wealth is no longer important, and health care is free around the globe.
Like many lists, more can undoubtedly be added. But at least you know what movies to watch next time your Republican friends come over for movie night.
The conservatives also hate It’s A Wonderful Life, but certainly love the Mr. Potter character.
I’m a conservative high school social studies teacher and I have used movies 1-4 in the classroom before and they are inspiring, excellent movies that teach a great lesson about either how hard work and perseverance pays off or how to overcome obstacles-which a conservative or liberal -a black or a white person would appreciate. I almost feel like you are insinuating that all conservatives are racist against black people by your choice of the top 4 films pissing conservatives off-most conservatives I know are not racist (but some are) and by the way, I have met some liberals that are racist (though most I hope are not) so it goes both ways. I think what pisses conservatives off more than liberal movies is when when liberals unfairly accuse us of being racist.
You know a lot of these are actually really good movies. Others, not so much. But it’s impossible to take this list seriously when the author is obviously confusing conservatives with the KKK. The author’s comments on these films makes it seem more and more often that it’s the liberals who are trafficking in intolerant bigotry these days.
Well, you would be wrong again, I’m a conservative Independent and I liked a lot of these movies.
Add the Book of Eli. A man wanted to preserve the Bible, but an evil man wanted it to take it from him to manipulate the people.
I have to disagree with The Pursuit Of Happiness. That could be the Herman Cain story. Both men pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to become wealthy men.
Gasland and Gorillas in the Midst come to mind!
Lord of the Rings. Tolkien was a Christian. AN ACTUAL Christian. Some of the messages of the movies involved pity and selflessness.
I hate censorship of any kind! Actually the number one movie Conservatives love. If Will Smith would have followed the liberal agenda he would have stayed on welfare and food stamps. Fortunately he chose the conservative way and chose to work hard and be successful. Silly Silly liberals just cant win :)

Actually, Will Smith was never on welfare or food stamps. Silly, silly conservatives, just can’t ever get their facts right! :)
Are you just assuming he was on welfare and received food assistance because of his background or ethnicity??Better push your blouse down,your bigotry is showing.Or are you saying liberals have a plan that wants a secure safety net because it benefits us all.A society is judged by how it takes care of its most vulnerable.
I think you might be upset with the wrong people,someone getting food assistance is not the reason for our deficit problems,nor are teachers and firefighters.Two unfunded/unneeded wars,unfunded tax cut,unfunded medicare benefits and outragous criminal activity by bankers and those playing a shell game on Wall Street created this mess.We all do well when we all do well.So if you want to be angry and pissed off,be angry and pissed off at the folks who actually caused this mess.Don’t be mad at the victims or otherwise you will need to push your blouse back down.I will paraphrase here but I think you might recognize it, Matthew 25 31-46,”…what ever you do to the least of my brothers you do to me.” I got that out of the Catholic bible,hope that is not a problem for you as well.Have a nice day and know that I will be sending positive intentions your way :).
So called Conservative are the same pharisees and Sadducee ideology that crucified the Prince of peace :

only one problem: most of these movies either suck, or are based on true stories are pure bullshit
Glory, fiction? No, that’s a true story. The Mission? Also true.
Pardon me but “The Pursuit of Happyness” actually was based on a real life story. The character Will Smith played ended up becoming a very rich stock broker in the end. He sure was a single parent who ended up homeless prior to getting that job at the brokerage house.
Conservatives probably love the Tim Robbins movie “Bob Roberts”, but that’s because they’re not clever enough to know it’s a satire.
True, so true. And it’s GREAT satire.

How could everyone forget “Dirty Dancing”?!? An underage Jewish girl has her first sexual experience with an older guy who teaches her some naughty dancing. And one lady goes to a butcher to end her pregnancy, which requires Baby’s father to clean up the mess. It was because of seeing this film as a teenager that convinced me that abortion should never be made illegal ever again, because it will mean the growth of back alley abortions or coat hangers being used. Better to keep it safe and legal.
It’s a Wonderful Life

Uh, Number 14, “Horton Hears a Who” is actually promoted by the anti-choice folks because of the line, “A person’s a person no matter how small.” So I really don’t think it should be on the list.
As for the “Communist” author? Few of those Right Winger folks even know who the author is. Besides, as Bible worshipers they are well-practiced in selective thinking.
Interestingly enough Dr. Seuss was pro-war or at least pro-intervention, in his 40s political cartoons for the newspaper PM. (See: Dr Seuss Goes To War)
While some of them were racist in terms of showing Asians, he also showed an anti-racist side with at least one, in which Uncle Sam tells a manufacturer “playing the piano”, “hey pal! It’ll work out best if you use the black keys as well as the white!” (re: jobs for black workers)
Any Repug who is a gun lover will also hate “The American President” with Annette Bening & Michael Douglas.
How about the following:
- The Invention of Lying
- Monty Python’s Life of Brian
What’s great about these lists is NOT the lists themselves… but the MORONIC comments that people make about them… a CON complaining about having beliefs “SHOVED DOWN IT’S THROAT” has to be one of the MOST HILARIOUS fucking things I have heard in a LONG TIME! *WHISPERS* Seriously… this is aimed DIRECTLY at you!!! *WHISPER* (IOKIYAR (That’s “It’s OK If You’re A RePUKE”) Douchebags are NOTHING if not good for a LAUGH… and they don’t even GET that they are being laughed AT! (OH… don’t tell me… “I’m not a REPUKE… I’m a LIBERTARIAN!” right?) A LIBERTARIAN is a REPUKE that thinks by calling itself something ELSE it makes it BETTER! *Sorta like the TEABAGGERS calling themselves “PATRIOTS”!! At least be an HONEST douchebag you FUCKING COWARD!
Uh I’m a liberal and a Libertarian so can the uninformed and stupid rhetoric douche bag.
I think the only Movies that real Conservatives love are all the old John Wayne Propaganda War Movies
(Is it working now?)
Juno was an anti-abortion propaganda movie.
The receptionist at the clinic is the right’s worst cliche about women who have abortions, promiscuous, perverse, and uncaring. The Pro-Life protestor is an innocuous little do-gooder, not a obsessive stalker or a quasi-terrorist gang. The mother attacks a medical professional who has the nerve to suggest that single teenagers shouldn’t raise kids.
No one ever seriously talks about abortion. No one at school teases her for being pregnant. Her parents are preternaturally supportive. Neither the pregnancy nor the adoption cause any real interruption to her life.
All the cool kids put their unwanted children up for adoption.
I agree,Blaine even though I liked the movie Juno (:(I like happy endings) it IS a Pro-Life film, The Pro-Life Groups even tout it as one
That is why I never saw Juno.
Peace,
Tex Shelters
Well if Juno seems too happy go lucky for you check out Sarah’s Choice where she struggles to decide because of a boyfriend who isnt ready to be a dad and a coveted job position within her grasp that will fall through her fingers if she has a baby
here is the preview on youtube
No it was written by a stripper just telling a composite story of people she knew and or her self. Just about everyone that had a hand in that move is far from a con. But just like anything gets twisted to fit what ever point is being attempted.
How about the movie “Idiocracy.” A movie about an average Joe and average Jane being frozen in a capsule in a military experiment and find themselves years later in a futuristic and very “dumbed-down” America.
Isn’t “Idiocracy” a documentary about America as we know it today? *snicker*
Um.. Russell. The title of the movie is actually The Pursuit of Happyness. The misspelling is intentional.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454921/
I’d put Idiocracy on the list. The cons would like the future world until they noticed the ‘liberals’ (the term they use for everyone who doesn’t agree with them) laughing and begin to wonder if the movie is somehow making fun of them.
Idiocracy: Damn!! someone gained access to their game plan…to take over the planet with idiots that vote republican.
You forgot Idiocracy. Someone gained access to their gameplan… to take over the world with idiots that only vote republican.
But the summary line of No. 15 could imply that it is about the daughter of the Tea Party’s favorite half-governor…
The Siege – frightening that it was made pre 9/11 shows the Patriot Act in action and my liberal father refers to it as “The one where Bruce Willis plays Donald Rumsfeld”
Wow, I must be confused. I would consider myself pretty conservative by most standards and I really like almost all the movies listed. Some are amongst my favorites and I don’t “Hate” any of them. Apparently, either the author didn’t do his homework, doesn’t really understand conservatives, or made a lot of really poor assumptions. It looks like many of the liberal readers are making some of the same incorrect assumptions according to the comments that have been made. Cut us some slack would ya?!
You most certainly are a conservative. You either missed or automatically dismissed the facts. The article does say that this list is in jest.
Obvious conservative…no sense of humor… LAME. Maybe the heat from the Earth warming is getting to you.
#26 – The Help
Wonderful movie about brave African American maids in the early 60′s standing up for themselves and exposing their bigoted white employers.
Yes, because “conservatives” MUST be racist. How many more times are y’all going to pull the race card here? Ridiculous.
It was a great movie. For anyone to be able to overcome looking at a person based on anything but the fact that they are a human being is awesome.
We are going to play the race card each time a Republican disses the President for no other reason than he is black. Plain and simple.
Really?
Because you don’t agree with them or because Faux News tells you they suck?
“are based on true stories are pure bullshit” — is that English? Or teabagger?
Oh, we are not the ones who play the race game, reich wingers.
That’s because republicans and tea party people ARE RACIST! Thats not a fairytale, thats a damned fact! They HATE a black man in their white house.
ahahahaha race card… I love when people throw that around. Sorry, but the majority of your party IS racist. Proven fact… race card my ass..
Lincoln and the Republicans hated slavery. Democrats started the KKK, which would have a young Robert Byrd among its members. Sen Al Gore _Sr_
opposed the civil rights act.
Bob, things change over time. By today’s party lines, Lincoln and the majority of the Republicans in his day would be considered Liberal Democrats. So that argument doesn’t hold too much.
Bob, you may consider yourself fortunate in that you were given the opportunity to learn a few things about yourself and about your country and party right here.
There was a time in fairly recent history that republicans were progressive, and democrats were the conservatives. Here is a long, but very interesting article about just this issue. During the time of Lincoln, the Republican party was progressive, liberal and NOT racist. By contrast, the Democrats during that time, were conservative, and very racist. So how did all of this change? And where does this leave you? Read this page: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/When_did_republicans_become_democrats_and_democrats_become_republicans
You’re absolutely correct & the switch started around the time the Civil Rights laws were enacted. Nixon employed the Southern Strategy whereas the Republicans basically wrote off the black vote & appealed to the southern white voters. That’s when racist Democrats (aka Dixiecrats) flocked to the Republican party.
Conservative positions are racist and reactionary, which tends to support the status quo from about 50 years ago. Your policies and beliefs get laid at your feet, and you call it the race card. I wish it was printed on the suffering you cause.
Well said and thank you.
Say that after a road trip with Black friends trough
“RED” states. It should be a point of order to stand up to that crap. A high enough percentage are hateful bigots so a progressive might feel not remorse in a blanket statement about cons being racist. See teabaggers signs for reference.
What a ridiculous comment. The Help was a great movie and an even better book. I have yet to hear any of my conservative friends say they didn’t like it. You all are making a bunch of incorrect assumptions and you do know what happens when someone assumes something, right?
Until proven otherwise, all Conservatives are racists.. I’m sure some would say “oh my best friend is black, blah blah blah” BS. Your Consev friends don’t say anything bad about the book/film b/c if they did that would be racist. The movie shows pretty much what happened and if you object you’re an idiot bigot. Plus it was most likly their bigot ancestors who treated minorities so terrible, so why would they speak up and bring that to light? When people say”Racism happened then, not now” I cry BS. If you are a minority you can’t help but find that ridiculous, racism is worse than ever these days!
Well it’s sad to think that just 40 years ago, that was the reality. And it still kind of is in some instances. I have yet to hear of any conservative friends of mine agree to watch it.
I’d also go Manchurian Candidate, American President, Real Genius, and Clerks.
The American President, a successful Democrat in office who dares date. The fact that he has to choose a retaliatory military strike and has a conscience about ordering the strike confirms it’s a movie conservatives hate.
And, it was the genesis of Aaron Sorkland’s brilliant “West Wing”
Forrest Gump
They may love some parts of it, but they gotta hate the subtext!
I’m pretty sure Iron Man is a Conservative wet dream. A capitalist war machine?
Have you seen Iron Man?
It’s much more ambiguous than you let on. Some could even take it as an anti-imperialism statement thought it’s not anti-violence.
Peace,
Tex Shelters
Eh, it’s a Ron Paul-ian wet dream – wealthy industrialist is picked on by the government for fixing the world’s problems with good ‘ol capitalism – throw money at the latest technology, and it will being out the noble side of irresponsible playboys.
Sorry…I meant BRING out the noble side…hit the post button too fast.
I agree. The second film, in particular, seemed like an unbridled love note to capitalism to me.
I would have thought every Michael Moor movie would be on there.
I was thinking the same thing. Food Inc., etc.
Just a side note: I heard their favorite restaurant is “Hooters.”
=)
Food, Inc. The best documentary of the last 10 years.
Peace,
Tex Shelters
Moore’s film were my first guess before I read the list too-LOL
“Hoot” Teens fight to protect a population of endangered owls threatened by construction. The teens battle politicians and businessmen, and win using Environmental Protection and Endangered Species laws.
We need a new list, clearly. SOME of them belong on the list, but seriously, the list needs re-writing. My choices:
1. V for Vendetta : Conservatives REALLY REALLY did hate this one – written as a damning commentary on Thatcherite England, Alan Moore’s graphic novel which the movie is based upon depicts a monolithic totalitarian regime based on homophobia, xenophobia, and isolationism, combined with rabid religious trappings and a strong big brother state (Patriot Act, anyone?) which a lone Anarchist who has been tortured and experimented on by the system and driven to the brink of sanity re-awakens within the people a sense of their own power and the need for individual differences.
2. Hedwig and the Angry Inch
A Transsexual Gay Musical. ‘Nuff said.
3. Fahrenheit 9-11
Michael Moore. Exposes Bush. Conservitards are still screaming about this one.
4. Milk.
5. Avatar – although it has turned into a HUGE capitalistic orgiastic marketing spree with tons of licensing bucks, creating more waste and collateral environmental damage than the humans were going to wreak on Pandora.
6. Watership Down – A warren of rabbits work collectively to fight for a place of safety free from tyranny and human intervention – the humans are the villains of the piece, and has a strong ecological message for children.
7. Runs with Wolves – Kevin Costner turns his back on white man’s wasteful and pillaging ways and learns from his native american brothers. Shows the exploitation and cruelty of the White American government and culture.
8. The Insider – whistleblower on the Tobacco industry is threatened by Big Business who want to stop him from uncovering their cheating the regulatory system at all costs.
9. Erin Brokavich.
10. The Crying Game – Dill’s a pre-op transsexual. And it portrays “terrorists” as people.
11. Rendition – exposes US CIA torture methods.
12. The Namesake – Bengali-American young man learns to accept his heritage and that becoming “westernized” isn’t such a great thing.
13. Vera Drake – movie about a working class woman who performs illegal abortions for women in need.
14. Brokeback Mountain
15. Wall-E
16. The Color Purple: Young African American woman battles injustice to try to create a life for herself.
17. Philadelphia: When a man with AIDS is fired by a conservative law firm because of his condition, he hires a homophobic small time lawyer as the only willing advocate for a wrongful dismissal suit.
18. Thank you for smoking: takes on Big business lobbyists with satire.
19. Casino Jack: A hot shot Washington DC lobbyist (conservative) and his protégé go down hard as their schemes to peddle influence lead to corruption and murder
20. Runaway Jury – about a trial against a big time gun manufacturer.
Those are a few…I know there’s more.
Norma Rae – about a woman (inferior) who organizes a union (thugs)! WI Gov Scooter Walker would ban that movie!
No doubt ol scooter would have banned THAT ONE!!!!!
The Invention of Lying!
That movie is seriously HILARIOUS and shows what a crock of BS Christianity (or organized religion as a whole) is.
It’s “Dances With Wolves” ,but whatever.
I KNEW something was wrong!!! I just couldn’t quite put my finger on it… (thats what she said)
Title of Costner movie: Dances With Wolves.
I enjoyed (as a mostly-conservative) Thank You For Smoking (based on a novel by the son of Bill Buckley), Milk, and The Color
Purple. Conservatives are pictured as being racists but many on the Left attacked the likes of Condi Rice, Herman Cain, etc. and a lefty blog put Sen Joe Lieberman in blackface, an action that would be roundly condemned had a righty blog done it.
This list didn’t do anything but make an ass out of the person who wrote it…along with everyone who agrees with it. As a proud conservative, not one of these movies offends me in any way. In fact, I own a few of them & one in particular is on my favorites list.
As for Russell Lewis pointing out the typo – Bravo! That just shows that the liberal who wrote this didn’t even see the movie, right?
Now let’s talk about what DOES offend me: someone trying to shove their own beliefs down my throat & make me accept them, if not even agree with them…all the while crying ‘racist’ & ‘homophobe’ at me when I stand my ground. Why is it that you can have your beliefs, but I can’t have mine?
either contribute usefully or do us all a favor and go away. if you like these movies BRAVO! as to the typo. are you all that inane(I would use a more insulting term but I’m trying to be polite) that the only thing you can actually argue about is a frigging TYPO? a TYPO?! give me a break. no one is perfect, and if you people actually even GOOGLED it you would see that the movie title ITSELF is the TYPO.
“Now let’s talk about what DOES offend me: someone trying to shove their own beliefs down my throat & make me accept them, if not even agree with them”
- If that offends you, why do conservatives constantly do that? I don’t want to hear about your religion or how much you hate gay people.
If you don’t want to be called racist and homophobic, stop being racist and homophobic. And no, no-one has called you racist just for disagreeing with Obama’s policies.
Conservatives are the ones trying to shove beliefs down people’s throats! You want to ban abortion and gay marriage. We’re not trying to FORCE people to have an abortion or a gay marriage, but you’re trying to FORCE people not to.
Why don’t you have your beliefs and simply respect people’s choices? If you want to argue your case with someone, that’s okay. But at the end of the day, it’s their decision whether they choose to have an abortion or a gay marriage and you have no respect for that.
I’m conservative on most issues but not these. The Religious Right got aligned with Republicans, hence these stands. btw for the ultra-religious out there, would you care to live in a country if the majority wanted sharia law…?
well you should know, you conservatives are very good at shoving your beliefs down people’s throat, especially your wackadoodle religious beliefs. Talk about calling the kettle black.
And liberals don’t shove their beliefs down people’s throats?
On TV, in the movies, magazines (Rolling Stone), newspapers, NPR, PBS, music, blogs, liberal talk radio,
etc.? They shove their views on global warming, gay marriage (which I’m for), anti-war (though it’s not so bad
when the prez is a Dem, right?), cuts in social spending,
etc.
Try to take a joke. Good Jesus, you need to grow a sense of humor.
He who cannot laugh at himself usually has a stick up his backside.
Umm, Seriously? The Republicans who are in office right now — and the ones who are trying to become the presidential candidate– are the one who are trying to take away MY rights. If the Republicans win, “Roe vs Wade” will be repealed, Christianity will become the national religion, women will become second class citizens, the socioeconomic stratosphere will become even more pronounced (think medieval feudal system) and homosexuality will be outlawed. I don’t care if you are white, Christian, male and straight. I don’t intend to make you obsolete. But I would like the same consideration and those conservatives in power don’t give me a lot of hope that I will be living in a free America. I know that as an older white woman, I will be considered obsolete and left to eat the scraps in the dumpster behind MacDonald’s and die in agony because I can’t get health care.
26. Les Misérables: An ex-convict (paroled following 19 years of hard labor, for stealing bread) is pursued by a police inspector. He flees his thriving business after making all his employees part-owners, thereby creating a workers’ collective.
What about V for Vendetta? Conservatives called that movie “A Terrorist Recruitment Video”.
Don’t forget Norma Rae – poor white woman teams with NY Jewish person to unionize Southern textile mill.
I’d add the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
A group of disparate peoples, including members of different races, joins together, overcomes their differences and fights back against a monolithic enemy. In the end the King leads his army from the front in a more then likely suicidal charge against the enemy’s army in order to buy time for two members of the smallest and least powerful of the four races to sneak into the enemy’s backyard in order to destroy the ultimate power that the enemy had created.
It also shows the perils of the seduction of power and the fight against it.
ohhh man tolkien is brilliant! I also think Harry Potter since many republicans lately are radical christians and this is about Witches and Wizards.
So true, and to prove the point, Rush Limbaugh looks like a cave troll.
I would have supposed that To Kill A Mockingbird would be on the list as well as Gentleman’s Agreement.
I’m losing faith in the journalistic ability of the people writing these articles. It’s hard to take the list “seriously” when the very first movie, # 1, is spelled incorrectly. I’m thinking;
1. Spell check is NOT a good thing here.
2. The writer did NOT see the movie.
3. There AREN’T any proof readers.
4. The proof readers didn’t see the movie either.
5. The writer is lazy.
I could go on, but, the point is, the movie is called;
The Pursuit Of Happyness.
I guess you never made a mistake. I wish I could be just like you….eh
Russell,
Is your obsession with the misspelling of “Happyness” in the move title due to the fact that you have nothing to add to the conversation and have zero ability to come up with original thoughts?
Take your grammar fetishism elsewhere; this is a site for people with ideas.
Peace,
Tex Shelters
6. The movie title itself is misspelled. The word is “happiness”.
7. If there are no proofreaders, how could they possibly see or fail to see anything?
8. Don’t be a douchebag.
Try reading your #8 again. Have a good day.
3. There AREN’T any proofreaders.
4. The proofreaders didn’t see the movie either.
Proofreader is one word. FTFY.
Spelling Police : The title of the movie IS spelled Happyness just sayin http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/thepursuitofhappyness/
While I think the list is quite fun, I’m sure that conservatives LOVE “The Blind Side” because the family is Republican and it “proves” that the GOP has no racists in their party.
Exactly. And there are so many better choices for Republicans to hate: any John Sayles movie, like the union positive Matewan and Liliana, about a woman who leaves her family when she discovers she’s a lesbian. Then there’s “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days”, about the horrors of illegal abortion, plus “Network”, about the media monopoly, “Salvador”, about the horrors of US intervention in Central America, and so forth.
So really, this list is lacking and more research should have been done.
Peace,
Tex Shelters
#23 LOL!
