kleinb100 I watched it too and was overcome with nostalgia. Not for the propaganda or even the movie itself but rather for the days when we would re-enact the movie as kids. The scene you refer to with Robert essentially committing suicide was particularly fun to "act out" as a kid.
RPG's were the shit. Playing "Red Dawn" when it was cold enough to see your breath outside was a plus. The bird call that Jed uses throughout the movie was one we tried to emulate but never could. AVENGE ME BOYS! Was definitely a moment we relished. Seeing Jennifer Gray's blue coat punctured with red-bloody-bullet holes as she holds the grenade... -Damn good stuff. (agreed that the nose job was a really bad call) I forgot that Robert was played by C Thomas Howell: http://hubski.com/pub?id=1589 I've really enjoyed this thread guys. Thanks.
