1. The Lives of Others (2007) -

What rightly makes this a conservative movie is its attitude toward class which ultimately dominates the film. But you have to see it to understand this point.

10. Ghostbusters (1984)

Absolutely: this was the harbinger of the Reagan revolution. History as a set of troublesome ghosts that must be liquidated by means of imaginative entrepreneurs. The villain of the piece is the EPA.
