"Red Dawn"
The classic: It’s just an ordinary day for a group of small town high schoolers, when Soviet paratroopers drop out of the sky ready to invade their town. It’s up to the highschoolers (played by youngsters Patrick Swayze, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen and Jennifer Grey) to fight against the evils of Communism.
The update: The new film reportedly will feature a terrorism-centered (a.k.a. boring) plot. We're taking a stand on this one. No "culturally relevant" update could ever replace the images of Soviet tanks rolling up on McDonalds, or Lea Thompson with a sub-machine gun.
