Billy Wilder's "One, Two, Three" starring the great Jimmy Cagney! Correctly depicted life in occupied Berlin.

[FreedomCalls]

"The Prisoner" -- "I am not a number, I am a free man!"

[Experiment 6-2-6]

"Our Man In Havana" with Alec Guinness was a great "cold war" movie without being overly militant..

Hard to find that one..

[LibFreeOrDie]

Not a movie but a British TV series: "The Sandbaggers" starring Roy Marsden (who later portrayed Adam Dalgleish in the TV versions of the P.D. James mysteries).

Might take you a couple of episodes to get into, because it's serious, not glam, and portrays the boredom and office politics. The most harrowing episode: the one about the mortally wounded agent left to die in a hotel room.

It's on DVD now, series 1, 2, and 3.

[FreedomCalls]

Nobody's mentioned "The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming!" It's a hilarious take on the fear of a cold war invasion. One of the best.

"E-mare-jen-see, effree body to get from strit."

We still have a common enemy - but most writers are too lame to take it on.

Hint: Begins with and "I" and doesn't mean peace.
