Calcutta is a detective/noir film from 1947. It's not the greatest or highest budget film in the world, it was filmed entirely in Paramount's back lot. Why is it special? It clearly illustrates the superiority through plot and dialogue the superiority of the white man over the lesser races, and the traditional role of women. It isn't done with bombastic language, or even deliberately with plot devices, it's simply assumed that the viewer knows the white man's superiority and this is never questioned. This is high wrongthink, and it shows in the fact that this film is not available for purchase or streaming almost anywhere. The only place I found this film was a poorly seeded TPB torrent, which was slow but it worked.
There have been movie threads in the past that were great, and posting films with right-wing themes always helps, but ITT I'm very interested in films like this, from the 30s, 40s, and 50s, that simply assume white superiority and never question it, without deliberately persuing this as a theme or plot. This is a more subtle and effective form of wrongthing, and it's clearly being suppressed, as many films of the sort are out of print and difficult to find.
Another film wiith this I've seen is the 1934 version of The Count of Monte Cristo. While not as pervasive throughout the film as it is in Calcutta, there are scenes involving non-whites that simply assume that the viewer is familier with the superiority of whites, and the proper role of women in society.

The Italian masterpiece from 1963, The Leopard, actually focuses on some of these themes. The film is actually about a traditional Italiian family's struggle againste encroaching modernity, and the benefits of traditional values. While it may not have as many scenes with non-whites, there are a few which like the prior film assume white superiority without question, and the benefits of traditional family structure and gender roles are a central theme in the film.
Conan the Barbarian movie has all the right wing conservative ideals of a man, it was based of right wing and ancient literature and tropes. John Milius himself is a controversial figure in Hollywood because of his right wing views.
Spirited away, has base identitarian and nationalist meaning. Main character represents a modern japanese youth who lost connection to their culture and mythology. She is thrusted into the weird world of the japanese folk mythology and the movie serves as a rekindling of the connection between modern youth and japanese tradition.

Zulu (1964), a history of the Zulu wars, is certainly viewing less subtle, but required viewing. A film like this could never be made again today.
All these are on TPB btw. I know tpb has been down for a while, but the mirrors still work, as well as the onion site. Try different mirrors, as different mirrors have different copies of the database.
More recently, vintage Clint Eastwood films have great imagery concerning what it means to be a man, and plenty of dialogue which would be considered wrongthink and never allowed into a film today.
