What is a good movie about the Cold War?
Here is an epinions.com article with “the best” cold war films, the reviews are quoted from that article, but i’ve gone ahead and added the trailers from YouTube. http://www.epinions.com/content_4834762884 The Bedford Incident (1965): An American destroyer skipper (Richard Widmark) remorselessly tracks a Soviet submarine in the Denmark Strait between Greenland and Iceland in a gripping film that combines elements of The Enemy Below, Fail-Safe, and (thematically), Moby Dick. Set entirely aboard the USS Bedford, the viewer is trapped, along with co-stars Sidney Poitier (as a magazine reporter) and Martin Balsam (as a reservist doctor called back to active duty) as an almost obsessive captain attempts to pin down an elusive Foxtrot-class diesel submarine in NATO-territorial waters. Its “I’ll fire one if he fires one” denouement is one of the most chilling endings of the genre.
