A hacker screws around with a game company's server, causing an artificial intelligence to stir up the military.
Both quaint and awesome. It doesn't hold up over time, so it does have to be understood in the context of it's era. Still recommended if you're old enough to do so.

A capsule is launched into space with the first British man in space, only to have problems.
Thirty minutes in it's still slow an uninteresting.

As a commentary on Edward Snowden or WikiLeaks or some such, a list, that somehow exists, is out in the clear and being hunted by various spies.
It would have made a huge difference had this not been portrayed as a flashback/debriefing. Because of this complete failure in storytelling, there was no sense of risk at all; an important part of a spy movie like this.
Based on The Coldest City - (2012 comic), by Antony Johnston

The Soviets and Cubans invade the United States, and a small band fight to survive.
It's important to understand this movie in the context of the Cold War. As such, this movie doesn't exactly stand the test of time in this respect. The 2012 remake had to blame North Korea because our times are different. Back then, this movie had a believable-enough plot line.
The underlying ideas are good, but the actual plot and movie itself do feel old. I like this movie a lot, but only for its concepts. I don't think it's re-watchable for a non-survivalist.
This was remade as Red Dawn - (2012 movie). That version sucked.

A lawyer becomes entangled in intelligence when he accepts a defense case for a Soviet spy.
I'm not sure what to say about this movie. It's quite good. I like historical intelligence movies.
Red Dawn (2012 film)

A remake of Red Dawn - (1984 movie)
noted here for reference; I didn't like it.
