First Blood (1982)

This falls under the pop-culturally relevant category. Also the super badass category. First Blood, the original Rambo, was fun the whole way through. I loved how, though Vietnam was over, it still felt like a jungle-Vietnam war movie without really being one. The ending didn't really seem to fit the tone of the preceding hour and 25 minutes, but it served to show motive and character development, as well as really humanizing Rambo. The ending makes it more than just a thoughtless action movie. Or at least tries to. Either way, First Blood was entertaining and had a great rewatchability factor. I can see why studios wanted to keep making movies with this character. With our present controversial war ending, the film feels especially relevant today--especially the depressed, angry, and confused soldier.
