1. Red Dawn
Nothing says American like a bunch of high schoolers defending their small Midwestern town from the Commie invasion. Putting aside the obvious incongruities, this has to be one of the most patriotic movies ever. Sure, it is literally impossible that sheltered, clueless teens would ever be able to fight off an invasion force. Sure, the perceived Soviet threat to Middle America reeks of paranoia. But at the end of the day, who really cares? Before you start watching, however, I need to make something abundantly clear. Make sure you have the 1984 version of Red Dawn. I wouldn't want anyone to come away from this article thinking that I would actually endorse watching the remake. Just so we're clear.
