What movies are pure chuddery? (hexbear.net)

I know chuddery is just a facet of applied liberalism, but for the sake of distinguishing this from the other thread about the most liberal movies, try to think of movies that cut out the "reconciliation with bad people" style liberalism and go straight for the chud pleasure centers, whether intentional or not. Chuds are absolutely horrible at literary comprehension, so a lot of chud films might be unintentionally chud films.

Example of an unintentional chud movie: Starship Troopers. Verhoven never intended to inspire an entire generation of chanlords on their baby goosesteps into fascism, but here we are. https://www.indiewire.com/2016/11/paul-verhoeven-slams-starship-troopers-remake-fascist-update-perfect-trump-presidency-1201747155/#!

Example of an intentional chud movie: American Sniper. :frothingfash:

It's been a long time since I watched it, but Requiem for a Dream manages to accept systemic sexual / carceral violence on its face and use it as bludgeon against people who develop drug addictions in a particularly evil way. On the surface it tries to portray a tragedy, but underlying message may as well be "this is what you get."

The internet was insufferable for a few years after that movie came out. AMVs were brutally killed by excessive use of its canned epic music, too.
