7. I forgot how bad cold war movies were.

I remember discussing nuclear war in elementary school (with reasonable coherency in my retrospection) in the mid-70's.

This hit on a lot of those themes. It had a bit of fail-safe and Dr. Strangelove, but it had really cheesy vibe to it.

In comparison to other stupid movies, Iron Eagle fits the bill in terms of age and plot. But as stupid as that move was, it was enjoyable to *spoiler alert* watch Doug Masterson blow shit up for a half hour. This didn't have that.
