I was actually wondering about this kind of thing, since right-wingnuts have been calling for a HUAC II even before Trump was elected. I was envisioning not just a regimented demand for proper morals, Christian values, etc., but movies where the uber-rich are never villains and are often heroes, if not benevolent characters.
This came to mind when watching "Scrooged," thinking how much Trump and his cabinet would probably dismiss if not be hostile to the message of the film, assuming they were unaware of the original Dickens tale.

Edit: It's also fun for another source to drop on the Libertopians who profess freedom uber alles, except when it comes to things they don't like; art, markets that are hard to manipulate, charity, etc.
