I must be the only person on this site who thought that was a pretty lousy movie.

I got a kick out of the scene where they were hiding underground and then popped up to shoot the bad guys.

Some of the scenes were unrealistic, but the whole premise of the movie requires a little suspension of disbelief. On the whole, great movie!! I just hope the remake lives up to the standards set by the original...

No offense, but you are wrong on that one. It was a classic.

It’s a good movie because it’s pro-American.

I think you have to look at what you're comparing it against.

Compared to all the movies ever made? Yeah, it wasn't the greatest, but it wasn't the worst.

Compared to all the pro-American, feel-good patriotic movies out of Hollywood since the 60s? Well, then it rises to the top of a pretty small tiny of offerings.

I was a teen when this movie came out. Raised in a Democrat, pro-union family. I wouldn't say this movie changed my life (the way Reagan and Rush did, at least), but it did make me start to think about the views I held and what being an American meant with respect to our enemies. Every little bit helped.

The one scene where they had to shoot thier buddy, the traitor in the midst, was very emotional ... Great movie ...

Whatever you think about the movie, we are headed to that type of reality. Elections alone will not fix this mess.
