To which you should add the serie
Firefly
and it's end-of-serie wrap-up movie
Serenity
It is by far the most explicitely pro-capitalistic freedom movie and serie I've even seen.
See

I would argue some of those, but where is "The Patriot"???
Hollywood can't get much more 'conservative' than a film depicting a loose group of American individuals (Patriots) fighting for, and WINNING, American sovereignty.
Thirteen (2003)
Rules of Engagement (2000)
I agree, even though Rules of Engagement is a documentary, it has to be included. There are few more explicit displays of modern-time government out of control.
The John Adams HBO Films mini-series, even though for TV, also deserves to be in the list in my view. It was better than 99.9% of stuff in movie theatres. And it's truly superb. John Adams was our Edmund Burke.
