Your one favourite film, and the moral behind it?

[Lala]

Well documented mine is Whistle Down The Wind.
When discussing this film today because my daughters boyfriend hasn’t seen it he recoiled at it being a black and white, so I said,it’s deeper than that.
My daughter, who doesn’t appreciate it as much as I do said ‘what is it’s depth or moral then?’
Not argumentatively you see , but curiously.
I said it’s moral is that blind faith in religion is misplaced, and that children have the purest hearts before life’s lessons kick in.
So what is your favourite film with a perceived moral? And what is that moral?

 

[BobHatton]

Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back

The moral of the story? It just goes to show that you never know who your REAL father is.

 

[glasshalffull]

It’s a Wonderful Life.

Loads of messages, meanings etc. Quite dark really. Has everything and love it at Christmas time.

 

[Lytham_fy8]

Sunshine

The moral? Dunno, it's tricky to blow the sun up with a massive fuck off nuclear weapon?

[Goldfinger]

One flew over the cuckoo's nest. An incredible film that generates all kinds of emotions.
Bad guys sometimes are good guys but good guys don't win every time.

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

Apocalypse Now.

The moral? The horror. The hypocrisy of killing.

 

[Dave62]

My initial thought was The Godfather (2) - morals would be family loyalty and of course "keep your friends close but your enemies closer"
It was the first book I ever read and definitely one of my favourite films of all time

But I will say Dead Man's Shoes - a low budget brilliant British film by Shane Meadows in 2004.

A good man forced to be bad to get revenge on the bad guys; the main moral being don't underestimate the underdog (a la play off final 2010)

 

[B_Side_The_C_Side]

The Godfather...

The moral.....Leave the gun....Take the Cannolis......!!!

 

[20togo]

Well documented mine is Whistle Down The Wind.

Jesus, that's your favourite film?

 

[Coinslot]

Hero. Our Land.

 

[GTFsTwinBrother]

Favourite.... Master and Commander. Don't think there's a moral as such. There are various things throughout the film that give you a hint at things like... be careful of hubris, cherish your friends, everyone has a different outlook on life/ different opinions and war is horrible.

But even then, it's more of a historical story rather than a moral lesson

 

[TangerineSeasider]

Life of Brian

The moral of the story ..... Even very naughty boys can become Messiahs

 

[deary]

Anything with Chuck Norris
Moral- Men called Chuck with beards could be film stars
It didnt matter a jot if their acting skills were poor & beards were unfashionable.

 

[Athers]

American Psycho. The moral is he had to return some videotapes

 

[Whitstabletangerine]

The Bucket List.

A very moving film, two men from very different backgrounds who became friends while in hospital both with terminal cancer.

The moral, do what you want to do before it is to late.

 

[Sooty59]

Back to the Future, pure escapism. Moral mmmm ok......... Biff Tannen hates manure (well this is a football site)

That’s a great shout Whits

 

[Grumpy_no_more]

Another vote for Apocalypse Now.

The moral -- even good music doesn't stop war being hell.

 

[Victorsponge]

Salvador, the moral is don't trust an American government

 

[Loco]

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Outlaws are good but will be crushed in the end. Robin Hood anyone?

 

[Ghosts of Electricity]

The big lebowski is my favourite.

The moral is if everyone was like lebowski then the world would be a better place. F*** all would get done, but still.

 

[poolseasider]

Any James Bond movie.

Old British man sleeps with young woman then saves the world.
Moral your never too old.

 

[L’étranger]

Brassed Off. A beautifully crafted tragi-comedy that highlighted the damage to communities caused by the Conservative Party in the 1980s.

 

[Mikeleeds]

An american werewolf in london.

The moral-stick to the paths in Yorkshire.

 

[Tangerinetiltingatwindmil]

Brassed Off. A beautifully crafted tragi-comedy that highlighted the damage to communities caused by the Conservative Party in the 1980s.

ir was indeed a powerful if very sad and very depressing movie.

 

[Davepick]

'To kill a mocking bird'.
Apart from having my favourite actor Gregory Peck in the lead role, the morale is that every one is entitled to a fair trial,
regardless of colour.
It was also Robert Duvals' first film.

My other is 'Dog Day Afternoon'.
It's just a terrific film, and Al Pacino is superb.

 

[Wizaard]

Jaws

moral- you're always gonna need a bigger boat.

[catinstalbans]

Schindlers List.
Even a morally suspect chancer could have a change of heart when the realisation of evil sinks in.

 

[bollieboy]

Deep Throat

The oral behind it is pretty obvious.

 

[basilrobbie]

Society

The moral being, "never trust your parents".

[the_dog]

Shawshank Redemption

"Get busy living or get busy dying"

 

[Tangerinemoss]

Bridge too Far

Not matter how well you plan, and how hard you try, shxt happens

 

[Poolfan2]

Fatal Attraction - the moral is if you're drowning an evil bitch keep her held underwater longer than 10 seconds!

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Sunshine

The moral? Dunno, it's tricky to blow the sun up with a massive fuck off nuclear weapon?

The sun is s nuclear weapon - fission is happening all the time.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

A Night to Remember.

The moral: hubris wears many disguises
