TJ, you got two of the one I didn't think people who get for a while. (Brezhnev & When Dove's Cry).

Pour yourself a cold and pretend I bought it!

I think #2 is Herb Brooks. Coached the 1980 Gold Medal winning team in one of the biggest upsets ever...at least I believe that was it http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//tongue.gif

It seems like I heard this somewhere a few weeks ago. So maybe a hint will help.

Good guess with Indiana Jones, but no.

Alright, here is the hint. This should wrap up this quiz right away.

Was it 'Reds'? It was a movie that had quite a few 'future' stars in it, including Patrick Swayze. I'm just not positive about the name of the movie. It was a great movie but, I didn't know it was the first movie with a pg-13 rating.

Mayhem,

You've got the right cast, but the wrong movie title. You're close, so I'm gonna give it to you.

The first movie that received a PG-13 rating was "Red Dawn".

That's a wrap!

Thats right. It seems like there was another movie called 'Reds', I guess I was getting them mixed up.
You guys know how often I have a trivia answer. In the year I've been coming here, I think this is a first. Chalk it up to very bad memory.
