One of my favorites. RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman. There were still a lot of good performances in him.

Gotcha! and Bridge of Spies, because a good part of each movie involved /took place my home town.

Plus I was on the American Sector Side of Glienecke Bridge - in 1980 you could walk out on to it a bit - at least I did. Even the birds that were sitting on the bridge stayed on the side of the American sector of Berlin.

Stripes, Ice Station Zebra, Hunt for Red October.

It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

I seem to recall that “The Life of others” was very interesting. A Stasi officer listening to a couple. Originally i thought of Gene Hackman’s The Conversation, also someone listening to others. Brings back memories of my own growing up. Our phone was bugged. You would ask for the tone and it would miraculously return. Once a repairman shower up to fix our phone. Nobody asked for repairs…

Good Shepherd. DiNero, Pesci, Damon. Etc…

Got poor reviews but I absolutely love this movie; definately one you need to put the phone down and follow.

This is one of my favorite scenes…

This isn't exactly a U.S. vs U.S.S.R. thing, but it's sorta related cuz, well, nukes. For a TV movie it was actually pretty well done. Shades of Orson Welles.

To have gotten to this point in the thread and no one has said Godzilla is a crime that I am rectifying.

And, while one movie in the Bond series was mentioned, and many mention nuclear weapons, this is the only one where I am aware of were nukes are actually used ****SPOILER ALERT FOR A 1977 Bond Movie EVERYONE on this forum should have seen***** when the hijacked subs at the almost end of the movie are given each other's positions to launch on, i.s. The Spy Who Loved Me .

The Day After, 1983 TV movie. The US and USSR actually did go to nuclear warfare.

OK, not high art, but lots of stuff - and people, but they were all bad - got blown up and the good guy won: Rambo: First Blood Part II.
