Heartbreak Ridge (Warner Bros. 1986)



Great conservative anti-commie movie here folks! If you haven't seen this one you've been missing out! And wouldn't ya' know it? It's on National Review's list of conservative movies!

Here is the review from James G. Lakely, managing editor of InfoTech & Telecom News at the Heartland Institute.

Clint Eastwood’s foul-mouthed Marine sergeant Tom Highway makes quick work of kicking Communist Cubans out of Grenada. And, boy, does “Gunny” hate Commies. Not only does he kill quite a few, he also refuses a bribe of a Cuban cigar, saying: “Get that contraband stogie out of my face before I shove it so far up you’re a** you’ll have to set fire to your nose to light it.” A welcome glorification of Reagan’s decision to liberate Grenada in 1983, the film also notes how after a tie in Korea and a loss in Vietnam, America can finally celebrate a military victory. Eastwood, the old war horse, walks off into retirement pleased that he’s not “0–1–1 anymore.” Semper Fi. Oo-rah!

Here is the trailer!

Firefox (Warner Bros. 1982)

Well we've covered John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Charlton Heston...most of the traditional good ol' Hollywood stars, but what about Clint Eastwood?

Before there was Top Gay there was Firefox! I watched Firefox last night, which Eastwood not only starred but directed, and I thought it was a pretty cool flick, although sometimes I wasn't quite sure about Eastwood's Russian sort-of accent. But I got over it and the plot goes simply like this...

Mitchell Gant (Clint Eastwood) is a retired US Air Force Major, suffering from stress due to being a POW during the Vietnam war. He has been recruited by NATO to steal the Firefox from the Soviets. The Firefox is the fastest, deadliest war plane ever made. It can reach speeds of up to Mach 6 and its weapons can be controlled by the pilots thoughts...but only Russian thoughts! The US understands the threat the Firefox poses and will do whatever it takes to steal the technology.

Here is the trailer from Firefox!
