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.

M.A.S.H. ... really about Vietnam.

 

Kelley's Heroes. My top fave, and its often said its really about Vietnam so its here. :)

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:

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!

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

*= 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!!!" :lol:

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. :grin:

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.

+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
