Study: Moviegoers prefer patriotic films
6-year analysis finds Americans reject left-wing, PC offerings

A six-year study of the habits of U.S. moviegoers has found they
prefer films with patriotic, pro-American themes that uphold
Judeo-Christian values over those that push a left-wing or socialist
agenda.
The analysis, done by Movieguide, a family entertainment guide,
compared the box-office take of major films to the themes and
worldviews those films present.
"Movies that support capitalist ideals, traditional Judeo-Christian
values and patriotism do much better at the box office than movies
promoting socialism, communism, radical feminism, left-wing political
correctness, atheism and homosexuality," said Dr. Ted Baehr, publisher
of Movieguide and chairman of the Christian Film & Television
Commission, a Christian advocacy group in Hollywood.
Baehr points out that in 2004, films like "The Passion of the Christ,"
"The Incredibles," "National Treasure," "America's Heart and Soul,"
"Spider-man 2," "The Aviator" and "In the Face of Evil: Reagan's War
in Word and Deed," made much more money on average than movies like
"The Day After Tomorrow," "Fahrenheit 9/11," "Kinsey," "The
Corporation," "A Day Without a Mexican," "The Motorcycle Diaries,"
"Super-size Me," "Vera Drake," "Saved!" and Spike Lee's "She Hate Me."
An analysis of 2004 films found those with "very strong
Judeo-Christian morality" averaged $107.7 million at the box office.
Those films said to have "anti-patriotic/anti-American" themes brought
in an average of $47.3 million. Similarly, 2004 films that included
"communist content" brought in just $28.9 million on average, and
those pushing homosexuality saw $1.2 million in average ticket sales.
Said a statement from Movieguide: "[The data] clearly prove our point
that, if a filmmaker or studio wants to be successful at theaters in
North America, he or she should film a story with pro-capitalist,
patriotic and pro-American content reflecting very strong traditional
moral values. Radical, left-wing politics, atheist humanism and strong
homosexual content offend the average moviegoer."

Study: Moviegoers prefer patriotic films
6-year analysis finds Americans reject left-wing, PC offerings
One only has to look at the incredible shite that comes pouring out of
American mainstream cinema to realise it's aimed at people with more than
two brain cells.

I hope so. As 'Far' as I'm concerned Hollywood sucks - they haven't
made many decent films in the last 10 years (Maybe Titanic [ Mel
gibsons scottish flic. ]& Unforgiven). The 'The Passion of The Christ '
even if you were not a religious person was a brilliant film in
organization, screenplay, and story telling.
I'm tied of Batman (Part) #49, etc & all the other parts' (Add number
here) of sequels. I did not see SP1 or 2. I went too five movies in the
last 12 years - part of my personal boycott of Hollyweird. I rather
watch them later on cable if I'm interested.
I saw: Passion OTC, SleepyHollow (2X) and Starwars Prequel 1,& 2.
In May I will see the final installment of Starwars ( However, I long
for the drama of the first three movies that I feel are absent in
these).
When Hollywood tones down their political rhetoric ( As seen even in
this years Oscars) I will probably decide to return to the movies and
support them.
Don't watch too much TV either.

Define what *they* meant by those terms. You can't because they didn't
define specifically what they used to determine which were patriotic and
which "conservative values" they used to compare films.

We really miss the Duke pity more of that ilk did not go and make a
films where the Conqueror was shot! But we know it is the only place

Funny with all those screen writers they still cannot make a decent

a conservative, right-wing organisation produces a study stating that
people like fims with a conservative, right-wing slant. This is hardly
a shock.
i noticed that only one of the films criticised in the article was a
big budget production and that film (Day after Tomorrow) actually did
quite well at the Box Office.

Uh, the study was done by Movieguide, not by WND.
You and Chris need to wake up and realize that just because the aricle
is posted at WND, it doesn't mean ti was written by WND or that the

From their website- 'Movieguide is a ministry deicated to redeeming the
values of the mass media according to biblical principles, by
influencing entertainment industry executives and helping families make
wise media choices'
The results of their study are not surprising.
