Philip Anschutz, a multibillionaire former oilman and co-owner of several sports teams started funding positive movies such as "The Chronicles of Narnia." He said he was driven to get into the movie business by his anger at the focus on sex and violence in mainstream films. "My wife and I now have a number of grandchildren who are growing up surrounded by products of this culture," Anschutz said in 2004. "So four or five years ago I decided to stop cursing the darkness."
