As Don Larsson pointed out, lists sometimes appear in magazines.  Even National
Review!  A recent issue listed the 100 movies conservatives should love.  Most
are not political in the narrow sense of the word.   If there was a common
thread that I could see, it was that the films selected were, depending on your
point of view, "old fashioned and corny" (the negative view) or "largely devoid
of corrosive and trendy irony" (the positive view).  De gustibus.
