Ok I see where you are coming from. :-)

"Panic" was an aftermath nuke war movie

and "Quiet Earth" was indeed very strange. :-)

However, "Countdown to Looking Glass" was fabulous. Check it out on IMDB and who was in it. (Hint, on of the actors was "the" Newt Gingrich himself :-))

(I have that one on DVD)

Another I really liked, however it was not really cold war was the movie "The Disappearance Of Flight 412".

Here's one I bet most people haven't seen, in this same "Not quite but sorta" vein ;):

World War III

It was a miniseries with a miniseries cast--Rock Hudson, David Soul, Brian Keith--about a Soviet task force that slips into a US northern Alaska outpost, and a small team fights it off. It was literally a "cold war" in miniature.

An enjoyably grim movie, it has one really gruesome real life footnote. The director, a real loudmouth, was getting out of a helicopter and yelled at someone, and turned and walked away in a huff...right into the rotor on the back of the helicopter, and was decapitated!

Will check out your suggestions, they look good.
