The Hunt for Red October (1990)

Why its here:
Great movie choice if you want a military action thriller that is exciting and full of plot twists, yet still really pretty family friendly.

Specs:
Over 2 hours; rated PG

Our family's average rating on a scale from 1-10:
7.63

More about the film and our reaction to it:
To  give a flavor of what to expect, it might be enough to say that this film is an adaptation of a bestselling Tom Clancy novel.  If you need to know more than that, then I'll also share that in addition to dramatic characters, politically-driven action, and more than a few plot twists, the film has a highly talented ensemble cast, powerful cold-war era tensions, and very realistic details including a setting almost entirely inside a submarine. If this is still not convincing you to watch the flick, then chances are this is not the right movie for you.

But for the rest of us -- and probably that represents a large chunk of humanity -- this film can't miss.
