Happy Birthday, Ted Kotcheff! Celebrating the man who made Stallone unstoppable in *First Blood*, gave Gene Hackman unforgettable valor in *Uncommon Valor*, and somehow convinced us all that two guys hanging out with a corpse at the beach was comedy gold (*Weekend at Bernie's*). Seriously though—only you could turn crazy weekends into cinematic classics!Your movies taught generations valuable life lessons: Rambo proved duct tape solves almost everything; mercenaries can have hearts as big as their explosions; and sunglasses conceal more than sleepy eyes. May your birthday be filled with laughter that's livelier—and definitely less awkward—than anything Bernie experienced! Cheers!
