I'm a member of The Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI), and they have a great collection of books they publish. One recent title includes God, Man, and Hollywood: Politically Incorrect Cinema from The Birth of a Nation to The Passion of the Christ, by Mark Royden Winchell. I'm not real sure what God has to do with Winchell's list of movies, he seems to focus more on the politically incorrect part. I don't think of Blazing Saddles as having anything to do with God myself. Winchell has a blog called God, Man and Hollywood (clever, huh?) where he is listing the movies, one a day. Great idea. Some of his picks are just dead wrong, (Crash? Being There?) but many are good choices to warm a conservative heart. Take a look. Buy the book.

Interesting book. The blog is obviously just getting underway, so it will be interesting to see more of the choices. Already he has listed a few I haven't seen, but it strikes me that there are way more than 100 films out there - at least pre-1967- that would be fairly conservative and non-modern day PC. That's one of the good things about being a classic movie fan, there is so much to choose from.
