Wars Cinema
What are some American films that are relevant to the Cold War?
I’m in a Cold War Cinema class. I have to give a presentation on a film that is relevant to the Cold War. I am having a hard time choosing which film to pick. There are so many! What are some of your favorites? They can have a blatant Cold War theme or an underlying one.
They films had to be produced between 1945 to 1990.
The Missiles of October

This is based in part on Robert F. Kennedy’s book “Thirteen Days”. It profiles the Kennedy Administration’s actions during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Tail Gunner Joe

This is a dramatization of the life of Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, whose tactics of accusing prominent people of Communist sympathies were initially designed to give him a national power base when he later planned to run for president. His actions led to blacklisting in Hollywood, ending or damaging the careers of actors/actresses, directors, writers, etc.

I grew up during the Cold War, with posters of “We will bury you!” on the school walls and “Commie” being one of the major insults. So, I was very conscious, even as a little girl, of Cold War themes during those days of the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall.

Movie Wars $13.95 Is the cinema, as writers from David Denby to Susan Sontag have claimed, really dead? Contrary to what we have been led to believe, films are better than ever—we just can’t see the good ones. Movie Wars cogently explains how movies are packaged, distributed, and promoted, and how, at every stage of the process, the potential moviegoer is treated with contempt. Using examples ranging from the New York Times ’s coverage of the Cannes film festival to the anticommercial practices of Orson Welles, Movie Wars details the workings of the powerful forces that are in the process of ruining our precious cinematic culture and heritage, and the counterforces that have begun to fight back. |
