    A great unknown Joe Dante movie is his '97 tv-movie The Second Civil War, with Phil Hartman as president threatening to invade Idaho after governor Beau Bridges closed its borders to prevent a bunch of Pakistani child refugees to enter the state. It combines extreme nightmare scenarios of both liberals and conservatives in a very fun way.

    You guys are wrong about the Ramones though, their eponymous debut has always been their best album.
