"Red Dawn" (Showcase Cinemas, Georgetown Drive-in) John Milius' overwrought fantasy, about the Communist invasion of a fictional Colorado town in the early stages of World War III, is a hysterical hodgepodge of old war movies and Westerns.

"Ghostbustert" (Showcase Cinemas) Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis play ectoplasmic exterminators in New York City in a far-out comedy with elaborate special effects.
