What is Your Favorite "Cold War" Movie?

Movies set in and with subject matter pertaining to the Cold War between (primarily) the United States and Soviet Union are an interesting genre of film.

I have TWO favorite Cold War movies.

*Wargames* (1983) is a very fun thriller that, in many ways, captured the feel of the early 80's home computer enthusiasts, and stars a young Matthew Broderick as a kid who gets in WAY over his head, potentially triggering World War III. Great performances, lots of memorable lines, and a satisfying final act.

​

*The Hunt For Red October* (1990) is a tight, "ripping yarn" about a very deadly Soviet Nuclear Submarine and the rogue Captain at the helm. His motivation is unclear, but the capacity for "first strike" destruction brings the navies of BOTH countries in on the hunt. Terrific pace, great characters, and the U.S. Navy scenes do have a feeling of truth.
