"Do I need to say it?"

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

While not exactly an anti- Communist film is was a powerful film none the less “Storm Warning’’ with Ronald Regan and Ginger Rogers.
Don’t forget “The Iron Curtain” (1948)
Funny, I would have put “The Lives of Others” up near or at the top. Powerful film.
For something early, and light-hearted, I like 1940s “Comrade X” with Clark Gable and Hedy Lamarr. Particularly amusing is when they accidentally invade Romania.
"Do I need to say it?"
In the spring of 1960 the committee held a series of hearings in San Francisco which protesters tried to disrupt. The film covers both the hearings and the protests. It was widely shown in schools, churches, libraries, etc. and also presented by patriotic and anti-Communist groups such as the American Legion and the John Birch Society. It stirred up a considerable amount of controversy in 1960-1961, praised by patriots and conservatives and damned by liberals and leftists. Leftists then began screening it in an attempt to portray HUAC as "witch hunters." Now, you can see it for yourself.
MUST SEE film
Mr. Jones
Real person, Gareth Jones, manages to visit the Ukraine during the 1930s Soviet Terror Famine
True, amazing story.
She was something else. They don’t make women like that anymore.
KHRUSHCHEV: There's bodies f*****g piling up in the street!
ZHUKOV: It's a bit late, isn't it?
KHRUSHCHEV: What if we blame this on someone...
ZHUKOV: Wait. (holds up hand to stop Khrushchev)
KHRUSHCHEV: ...who's out of control.
ZHUKOV: Nicky, be very careful what you say next. Who?
KHRUSHCHEV: Beria.
ZHUKOV: I'm gonna have to report this conversation. Threatening to do harm or obstruct any member of the Presidium in the process of...Hahahahahahaha! Look at your face! (Khrushchev's face is a horrified mask of confusion, consternation, and fear)
Hahahaha...he absolutely stole the show!
Speaking of Ukraine. The other day I watched the movie Quisling - The Final Days.
I learned a lot of things about Quisling I didn’t know before. He started out being sympathetic to the Bolsheviks, then witnessed the starvation in Ukraine, and ended up marrying a Ukrainian woman, before returning to Norway.
But he claimed that what he saw there was what turned him into such an anti-Bolshevist, and eventually into a Fascist.
I highly recommend the movie, especially if you are familiar with the other Norwegian wartime film, The King’s Choice, it’s the same director. It focuses more on the Pastor who was sent by the Church to try to get Quisling to admit he was wrong, but he never did admit to doing anything wrong before his execution.

The ending gets me every time I watch it.
Red Dawn stunk. It was lame as hell.
There’s another movie entitled TRIAL, with Glenn Ford, Arthur Kennedy and Juano Hernandez, about the way the Communists exploit an apparent case of injustice a la the Scottsboro Boys. Very incisive.
