# 22: The Best Conservative Movies of the Last 25 Years [S.T. Karnick]
Brazil (1985): Vividly depicting the miserable results of elitist utopian schemes, Terry Gilliam’s Brazil portrays a darkly comic dystopia of malfunctioning high-tech equipment and the dreary living conditions common to all totalitarian regimes. Everything in the society is built to serve government plans rather than people. The film is visually arresting and inventive, with especially evocative use of shots that put the audience in a subservient position, just like the people in the film. Terrorist bombings, national-security scares, universal police surveillance, bureaucratic arrogance, a callous elite, perversion of science, and government use of torture evoke the worst aspects of the modern megastate.

Did Casino make it? Or is that more libertarian?
Also, CAPTCHA say: oputzesq. In green. Is this evidence of Google's left-wing bias?
Where in the conservative pantheon does "Finding Nemo" stand? I was, understandably, disappointed to discover that fish cannot, in fact, talk but was encouraged by the simple message that if your mother gets eaten, you can go to Sydney, for free.
Also the finest ladyfriends have mental impairments.
Ah that is why it qualifies as a conservoflick then. As well as the acceptance of pollution and over fishing.
But it has vegetarians in it.
EDIBLE vegetarians.
