I tend to have problems when the main character, by default the protagonist, is someone I don't find very likeable. It doesn't make it a bad picture, just one that doesn't resonate for me as much personally. I have the same problem with Gone With The Wind, lol, which kinda blows the "gender bias" theory right out of the water.

Not necessarily. SWMBO hates
Gone With the Wind because of the character of Scarlet O'Hara is so unlikable (and figures that Vivian Leigh probably wasn't really acting she seemed such a natural B. Meow!). She also doesn't like
Casablanca or
From Here to Eternity for romances saying the endings are depressing. I really enjoy all three but
Chocolat, a favorite of hers, makes me break out in hives. She even cried after watching
Captain Corelli's Mandolin; at Nicholas Cage for god's sake!
Back on the Cold War topic though...
Nobody mentioned
Red Dawn! Here on SubSim, the ultimate flag-waving, commie killing, pick-up driving, Cuban bashing, USA boosting propaganda epic passed unnoticed and obviously unwatched. Amazing!
