I just watched "Red Dawn" (1984) for the first time

This movie was a touching story about brotherly devotion. Also, it was a celebration of the natural beauty of the American Southwest. Finally, it was a paean to the sheer pleasure of watching teenagers massacre people.

Well done, John Milius. According to the news from the last ten years, it's like your dream has come true!

I saw the end of this movie recently on cable. I had forgotten the evil collaboration of the Cubans and the Russians...

The last time I saw it was at a drive-in double feature with Gremlins. But I preferred Red Dawn. I have ever since liked to shout 'Wolverines!' as my personal war cry.
