I see 300 as an all-too-obvious propaganda film geared toward glorifying democracy, de-Humanizing and demonizing Middle Easterners in general, and drumming up volunteer military enlistment.
Tell that to Frank Miller, genius. The film was just a translation of the comic; there was no social commentary, it was just a brainless good vs evil film.
Can't comment on those, know nothing about them.
And "E.T." was undoubtedly intended as an apologist glorification of the illegal immigration issue... We just didn't know it 'til now.

I see the 3 X-Men films as an allegory on how Homosexuals are treated in America.
Because homosexuals have special powers!
Chronicles of Narnia is well-known allegory to the death and ressurection of Christ. So I'm not sure what you mean by 'to a degree'..
I see Kingdom of Heaven as a vehicle to stir up more vitriolic hatred between Christians and Muslims.
I think The Green Mile had a decidedly liberal intent. As did Born On the Fourth of July and Babel.

I see Crash as a beautifully crafted comment on our racist nature.
Not seen Crash, but the only 'racist nature' in modern America is the one manufactured by the media. By and large most Americans I know don't give a flying flip about your skin color.
What 'Christ myth'? You mean the myth that he had a child with Mary Magdelene? You're reading way too much into that.

I see Superman Returns as a re-telling of the Christ myth.
