Um not really. The government in watchmen lead by Nixon(conservative) were depicted as violent and unfair.

Most of the Comedian's dialogue in the movie mocks conservative values and ideals.

Then you have Rorschach a pure conservative is depicted as insane and unstable. Eventually Rorshach was killed at the end because he would not "conform" and live in a world based off of a lie. Because of his death it lead to society living in a perfect world where everyone gets along.....

I would recommend you watch watchmen again and find all the hidden messages. It's a very pro communistic movie.

Watchmen at it's core is amoral and is nihilistic. The meanings were more fascist than communist, if anything.

Watchmen was god awful...

Sports movies are big for me too. Sentimentals like Hoosiers, Rudy and Vision Quest are classics along with just about any well-done baseball movie.

Not to pull a Simmons, but I was dating a girl for a few weeks long ago, started to like her when we sat on the couch to watch Field of Dreams one night.... and she didn't like it. In fact, the words "boring" and "dumb" came out of her mouth.

That bitch was gone the next day!
