There was a great scene in The Lost City where a female Fidelista forbid a band from using a saxaphone because it was invented by a Belgian and she claimed the Belgians were "imperialists" because of the Belgian Congo.

I almost want to say THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE because the genius of the film is that it can be seen as both an anti-communist AND and anti-McCarthy film.
The remake, of course, is anything but anti-communist--it's anti-capitalist.

It's got to be well over 30 years since I've seen
Dr. Zhivago, but I don't remember it as particularly anti-commie in nature.
Neither side is appealing, and the poor Dr. is just trying to go along to get along. I understand the book is a good deal more anti-communist. At least the commies thought it was.

The Motorcycle Diaries.
(Just kidding.)
It's a genre Hollywood doesn't really explore, but I'll offer up The Pursuit of Happiness. While communism isn't really a theme at all, the movie offers a very inspiring story of the success that comes through hard work and determination in America.

I thought “The Lost City” was terrific, too. I rented it on a FReeper recommendation. I could watch Andy Garcia forever. Loved the bit about the saxophone!

I know you asked about movies, but lately I have been watching "I Spy" DVDs and some of the Communist agents in the third world are shown as vicious, nasty, evil. They remind me of Hillary.

THE BEST anti-communist film ever made will be a 2009 film (ie ‘the next one’) about 2008-The Year that EXXON took on Jugo Chavez, the world’s #1 economic terrorist....Jugo just found out why economic terrorism doesn’t work!
PEDEVESA just got ‘chavezed’
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080209/venezuela_exxon.html?.v=2
I love Exxon!.......finally a productive use for lawyers and oil money!
Now if Oil Barron Bush can just convince all the other US Oil Companies that Jugo is raping and pillaging we’ve got a horse race! I believe Boosh can beat Jugo at his own game.....ie,
WE WIN, THEY LOSE! I love President Bush....aka little reagan.
“In a Jan. 24 “freezing injunction” by a British High Court, the court said that “until the return date or further order from the court,” PDVSA “must not remove from England or Wales any of its assets which are in England or Wales up to the value of $12 billion.”
The court also said that if PDVSA disobeys the order, it could be held in contempt of court and be fined or have assets seized.”
“...most of PDVSA’s assets are located in Venezuela and the United States, where the company has refineries.”.....looks like EXXON may be ‘acquiring’ new refineries after all!
Americans need to DEMAND that EXXON and ConocoPhillips WIN, and WIN substantially...feel free to write your Congressman!
This should be the 2008 Good v. Evil poster child for capitalism v. communism....all the way to Election day. And Congress, The White House and the Judiciary needs to be fully engaged!

Maybe
1984? Talk about a dark movie, but really well done. Maybe also the brilliantly witty
Brazil. I guess both are more anti-totalitarian than specifically anti-communist.
Another vote for Other People's Lives which I've heard great things about but haven't seen yet.

The Lives of Others. Clearly, in my opinion.

I think Fountainhead ranks pretty high up there. Also, From Russia with Love wasn’t too bad. On the other side of the ledger, I’d nominate just about any movie ever made by that lying commie pig Henry Fonda as among the most communist.

Saw
Lost City when it was first released. I still want to know what the Bill Murray character is doing in the movie.

Most of the anti-commie movies of the ‘50s — My Son John, Big Jim McClain, I Married A Communist, I Was A Communist For The FBI — were pretty awful. The best of these were probably the films of Samuel Fuller, notably Pickup On South Street.
Also notable is Man On A Tightrope, directed by Elia Kazan right after he testified before HUAC (and just before he made On The Waterfront). Although forgotten today, it was one of the better films in this group, perhaps because it was more of an escape thriller than political tract.

This is a hard category. Communists control the American film industry. The best recent anti-communist film is
"I Am David" .
