Odd that this should come up right now. I wonder how popular the original "Red Dawn" (1984) is in Ukraine right now?

 

Caveat: I didn't like Avatar and I'm assured that means I have awful taste in movies.
If you're willing to wade through subtitles: Sword Hero.
Free Guy; FX, FX2; Lethal Weapon 1, 2, 3; White Christmas; Alien; Terminator;
Blade Runner; Matrix; Jurassic Park; Stargate; Pacific Rim; Godzilla (the old ones); Fifth Element

 

So superior to the remake!!

 

The Patriot
Gladiator
We Were Soldiers
O Brother, Where Art Thou
Troy
Matrix

 

I was thinking “Wag the Dog” was appropriate during this time. Anyone remember it?

There are definitely aspects of Avatar I greatly dislike but I ignore them because of the visual spectacle.
