I’m not crazy about dancing, but I liked this movie… so it must have been good. Although, if I ever hear “that song” again, I’m going to go on a bloody rampage.

Red Dawn
I know most people thought it was just silly, but I thought it was done really well. The characters were all well drawn, and their reactions to the “extreme circumstances” were true. I don’t buy-in to the whole right-wing violent fantasy aspect of this, but if you think about the climate in which it was made (the cold war), it was a good reflection of that time. And it’s got Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in about as different a movie from Dirty Dancing as you could imagine.
Point Break
Surfers rob banks and Keeaneaueau Reeves does his best to look cool. Kind of dumb, but watchable all the same.
Ghost
It worked for me. I liked the way it de-mystified the whole ghost thing (you know, setting rules and regulations and all…)
