The 15 Best Cold War Movies of All Time, Ranked by Whatnerd

"Cold War movies are unlike other war movies because there's no direct fighting involved. The Cold War was a period marked by political tension, hostility, espionage, and propaganda.

Here are our picks for the best Cold War movies that involve the Cold War era spanning from 1947 to 1991." - whatnerd.com
