I mean... it's actually kind of disturbing how many there are, The green Berets, Top Gun, Transformers, Black hawk down, some grey area ones like saving private ryan and similar.

Of course, you'd get the other side of the coin with say movies like rambo, apacalypse now Born on the fourth of july etc...

Also the Dick Wolf copagenda universe.

For how much conservatives hate anything LGBTQ showing up in movies, it's weird that they love Top Gun so much. That movie is probably the most homosexual piece of media I've ever had to witness, and I've enjoyed quite a bit of gay porn in my days.

Oh, you mean things that are unironically used as pro-America media by people that have 0 ability to see a political message? The same people that told RATM that they were good before they became political in 2016 (lmao)

Didn't the first(?) (The one where the main guy finds Bumblebee) movie have the government as the secondary bad guys?

Just saw Rambo for the first time. Sylvester Stallone was so good in that PTSD scene at the end.
