"Hollywood may well be a bastion of liberalism, but it does continue to occasionally produce major films that advance conservative principles," Nile Gardiner writes in the Telegraph. His best of the aughts:
- Master and Commander, 2003: The Peter Weir flick starring Russell Crowe is "an epic tale of heroism and love for country in the face of incredible odds, and a glowing tribute to the grit and determination that forged the British Empire."
- Black Hawk Down, 2001: Critics may have called it an "anti-war film," but Gardiner doesn't buy it. Instead, it's "an extraordinarily powerful and deeply patriotic tribute to the heroism and bravery of the US military."
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy, 2001-2003: The "vision of a mighty battle between good and evil" is "perfectly fitting" for "a post 9/11 world where the forces of freedom found themselves pitted against a barbaric enemy."
- Gladiator, 2000: The film has "not an ounce of appeasement or the whiff of 'engagement,'" and is "guaranteed to send pacifists and lily-livered liberals running for the exits."
- The Pursuit of Happyness, 2006: Will Smith's character "embodies the can-do spirit of Reagan’s America, and rejects the welfare state in favor of the capitalist ideal."
