Cool Cool Cold War

I have compiled a list of the best Cold War movies and shows I've seen + a few that I'm pretty sure are cool, including a '73 mini-series "The World At War", which I'm sure will give good background info to all you youngsters who might be interested in this kind of thing. For all of us who remember the Cold War, I do realize calling that era and all that it implies "cool" is sort of a showing of poor taste, as there is a definite nastyness to the whole spy business. That being said, who is to say spies aren't cool? Or who dares claim nuclear submarines don't give him or her "the willies"? And in the case of the Cold War, it's already happened, as oppposed to the **it that is going on right now. So I say a certain nostalgia towards the Cold War era is allowed - since we all know we pulled through and the Earth actually survived. I actually meant to keep the list as a straight forward, entertaining yet mostly factual Top List of the Best Spy Thrillers Ever Made. However . . . there's just too much good stuff to ignore when making a list like this. So I added a few documentaries - and even an animated film "The Iron Giant" which, I think, gives a fairely good view of what the Americans might have felt during the brezhnevian era of Soviet Russia. So, here it goes! And don't forget "The Night Manager" which is written by John Le Carre yet played out - quite beautifully I might add - in the modern era by Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie. Hope you enjoy!
