From a serious perspective, I suggest "The Lives of Others".
Of course, from a humor perspective, I have to say "The Death of Stalin" was one of the funniest Soviet related movies I have ever seen!
The scene where Marshal Zhukov is approached by Khrushchev (who want to frame Beria) and Zhukov busts his balls nearly made tears of laughter come out of my eyes!
KHRUSHCHEV: What if we blame this on someone...
MARSHAL ZHUKOV: Wait. (holds his hand up in warning)
KHRUSHCHEV: ..who's out of control.
MARSHAL ZHUKOV: Nicky, be very careful what you say next. Who?
KHRUSHCHEV: Beria.
MARSHAL ZHUKOV: I'm gonna have to report this conversation. Threatening to do harm or obstruct any member of the Presidium in the process of...(breaks into a maniacal grin and begins giggling) Look at your f**king face!

I recommend this but it really helps to be well versed in the history of the Soviet Union to appreciate it. The Lives of Others is another obvious choice for this festival.

Couldn’t believe it when I first saw it - only the Coen boys would have the balls to make mock of the Hollywood 10.

Heh, I also like the scene where when they leave Stalin’s house, everyone is shooting everyone else in the head...including the last guy who had shot everyone else in the head!

What are your thoughts on One Two Three....the Jimmy Cagney film? Crackerjack comedy with machine gun dialogue which I love but I’m not sure how anti communist it is other than mockery.

Excellent-thank you for the suggestion. For years now, I have been delving further and more deeply into movies made in the past because Hollywood has been putting out largely unoriginal crap for a long time now.
I have had very good suggestions from Freepers just like yours, and I take them seriously...:)
