Netflix Pick: Red Dawn
One of my all time favorite movies……Red Dawn.
Netflix Summary……..”When a group of high schoolers witnesses Soviet and Cuban paratroopers descending on their small Colorado town and systematically setting off World War III, the teens — led by Jed Eckert (Patrick Swayze) — take food and whatever weapons they can find and hightail it into the hills to wait things out. But with the communist invaders on their trail, Jed and his young compatriots decide to launch a guerilla campaign and strike back.”
This is a DVD-only offering from Netflix – and a good one.
How many times have you watched Red Dawn?

They had it for sale at Walmart a couple of years ago for $5.00 so I picked it up. I can’t even count the number of times I have watched it.

I love this movie. I have watched it many times and it never gets old. It was well thought out and gives us hope at the same time. It is a must watch movie. Patrick Swayze is excellent in the movie. He was very you when this was shot. Good pick Rourke!!

Awesome movie, I am not looking forward to the re-make, however – some significant plot changes seem like it will lose any semblance of believe-ability.

Great movie. I loved it since I saw it in the 80′s.

I’ve watched it start to finish 5 or 6 times, but have caught it on tv and watched bits and pieces of it dozens of times. Like terminator and t2 if its on i can’t resist. Its a great movie. Ive been waiting for the remake that was filmed mostly here in metro detroit but have heard there are some political corectness issues with the chinese being the primary invaders. Great website by the way, i like the new posts everyday and the fact its updated early cuz I’m usually on by 6 am.

So many times I can’t count. One of the greatest movies ever made.
By Benjamin, August 26, 2011 @ 8:57 pm
Seen it about 100 times or more… Charlie Sheen before his current “issues”, of course… and were you aware of the remake? I’m hoping that they don’t butcher it…
