Easy.
Not even one of the best in its genre. I'm not saying it's a bad movie. I'm not saying it's a good movie. But, to me, the term classic should be reserved for the best of the best. IMO, Red Dawn doesn't even come close. Unless any movie in the top half or top third of its genre is considered a classic.
