The Anti-Communist Film Festival: the List
Hot Air ^ | 21 Aug 2025 | Mark Judge

Posted on 08/21/2025 7:57:11 PM PDT by Rummyfan

As was recently reported in Breitbart, next year I’m planning an Anti-Communist Film Festival. It can be difficult and expensive to counteract all the left-wing propaganda coming out of Hollywood. As someone who regularly attends film festivals featuring movies from Ireland, Africa, Iran, and other countries, I realized that we could put on an Anti-Communist Film Festival, give the people the truth, and throw a big party. I am currently in talks with theaters in Washington, D.C., about rentals and licensing fees. They are enthusiastic about the project.

There is no shortage of great films over the last 70 years that have preached freedom. Here’s my list of the ten films we’d like to screen.

The Lives of Others
I Married a Communist
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Red Dawn
My Son John
The Death of Stalin
I Was a Communist for the FBI
Hammer & Tickle
Freedom’s Fury
State of Control

Big Jim was hunting Barack Hussein’s grand-parents.

Eleni.

Not a film about the big players. A film about the little people who get ground up.

“The Death of Stalin” is a fun film. I highly recommend it. Great script, and great acting.

But I wouldn’t call it anti-communist at all. Instead it mocked an entrenched bureaucracy.

Oh, and one more thing. The guy who played Marshal Zhukov stole the show.

Certainly The Chekist should be on the list.

Though not strictly an anti communist film, there is a strong anti communist element in the Coen brothers’ movie, Hail, Caesar!

Totally agree!

Where can a war hero get a drink around here?

I propose The Aviator, although the scope is broader than communism. Also, for those that can read between the lines, Jurassic Park, which was created to assert that central planning is impossible.
