Slartibartfast Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Surprised no-ones put in By Dawns Early Light Flight of the Intruder... And for a laugh Peter Sellars in Doctor Strangelove or how I learned to love the Atomic Bomb... Ooop's the last one was already put in but its a great movie it needs to be voted in multiple times Edited January 8, 2010 by Slartibartfast Quote
Lexx_Luthor Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 One fascinating film I saw *long* ago, but don't know what it was. Black and white film about a NAVY destroyer(?) playing cat~n~mouse with a hidden Russian sub among the icebergs in the Arctic, and they accidentally nuck each other -- nuck torpedo vs nuck ASROC rocket (I guess). No survivors. No heroes. Just makes you're mind go blank. I like those kinds of face slap endings. THE BEAST, western movie of Soviets in Afghan. Guy who bought the tanks from Israel ~> http://www.warriorsinc.com/FilmThoughts.cfm?ProjectID=7 Actor training ~> http://www.warriorsinc.com/FilmTrain.cfm?ProjectID=7 M.A.S.H. ... really about Vietnam. Kelley's Heroes. My top fave, and its often said its really about Vietnam so its here. :) Quote
+Wrench Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Lexx is refering to "The Bedford Incident" with Richard Widmark and Sidney Portier for definate "cold war", I'd reccomend "Hell and High Water" (one of my personal favorites) There's 2 versions of Nevil Shute's "On the Beach", the original with Gregory Peck*, and a remake with Armand Assante. I actually like the new one a little better, for 1 simple change in the ending -=no, I won't spoil it definatly "By Dawn's Early Light" ... very well done. pretty good effects for time, for a made-for-TV movie. a VERY incomplete listing can be found here: http://wrench1smog.com/wrench7.html but not just Cold War wrench kevin stein *-watch for HMAS Melborne in the in-port scenes Edited January 8, 2010 by Wrench Quote
HotNess Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 see,you learn something everyday...i never knew dawns early light was a made for tv...i loved that and had it on dvd..i presume its same one,with....withhhhhhh,think powers booth and rebecca de somebody..(who also did soft porn lol)..the beast..which in uk was called beats of war is awsom,and always made me cringe when they started to run over the afgans legs. What about JAWS....hey,theres nowhere in the movie that says the shark isnt a communist hell bent on terrorism acts of munching americans LOL x xx v xx Quote
+Gepard Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Cool movie from the USSR. German tile "Der Gegenschlag" "Counterstrike" Soviet naval infanterists during a combat exercise. Cool guys and a nice girl. I loved it when i was a boy! Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 WHAT!!!!!!!! no one mentioned TOP GUN? it was great for showing how to conduct international relations(you know the finger) Quote
HotNess Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 and the iron eagle films..all i think there up to number 17 now,but 1 & 2 were best,predicting the future of bombing s**t out of arab countries, and of course...Red Dawn...WOLVERINES !!! xx xx v xx Quote
+allenjb42 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Two more: Buffalo Soldiers http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0252299/ The Fourth Protocol http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093044/ Even James Bond movies like From Russia With Love and Octopussy have cold war elements. btw By Dawn's Early Light is based on the novel Trinity's Child http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity's_Child It scared the cr*p out of me when I read it aged 15 in 1983! And of course, Spies Like Us http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090056/ Russian Interregator #2: Every minute you don't tell us why you are here, I cut off a finger. Emmett Fitz-Hume: Mine or yours? Russian Interregator #2: Yours. Emmett Fitz-Hume: Damn! Edited January 8, 2010 by allenjb42 Quote
DaSpungie Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 the name escapes me but it has Leonard Nemoi aka mr spock as a nuc sub commander firebirds and into the sun Quote
+Wrench Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Nimoy as sub commander: "Fer de Lance", aka Snakes on a Sub*. Just awful...terrible...even ripped off scence from Ice Station Zebra for the boat under water. Another made-for-tv loser. (interestering how the US Navy only has ONE boat, numbered 509) btw, add "Ice Station Zebra", Howard Hughes' favorite film wrench kevin stein *= somehow, I just can't see Mr Spock running around with a pistol, screaming "I'm tired of these motherf**king snakes on my motherf**king sub!!!"

+JediMaster Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) That reminds me of a missed opportunity for Mace Windu's dialogue in the SW prequels. "I am sick and tired of these MF'ing Sith!" Sum of All Fears was a great Cold War book, but the film was updated away from that, unfortunately. I still maintain Cardinal of the Kremlin was the best Cold War film that was never made.

Cardinal of kremlin would be an awesome movie. Im a huge fan of the splinter cell series from clancy. I would wanna see them as movies aswell. Quote
+allenjb42 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Red Storm Rising would have been the ultimate Cold War Gone Hot movie! Quote
+Gepard Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Red Storm Rising? Clancys story from the taleswood! Forget it! The Rambo movies are much more real than Red Storm Rising! Quote
macelena Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Red Storm Rising would have been the ultimate Cold War Gone Hot movie! +1 However, it would be too long. I would say a miniseries, Band of Brothers sized, would have done better. It would have took a lot of money, btw Quote
+DWCAce Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 I'm surprised that Dave didn't get this one: Red Dawn. WOLVERINES!!!! Quote
Lexx_Luthor Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 So that movie was Bedford Incident, thanks fellas. Quote
