Default Classic Cold War Flicks

For those who can get Turner Classic Movies, Saturday has two Cold War thrillers in an accidental nuclear war double-bill.

First up is Fail Safe, 1964 where U.S. President Henry Fonda tries to manage the crisis caused when a computer glich launches SAC bombers against Russia. Dr. Strangelove without the laughs.

Following up is 1965's The Bedford Incident with Captain Richard Widmark, USN playing a particularly nasty version of cat and mouse with a Soviet diesel boat in the high arctic. Also features Sidney Portier as a visiting journalist and veteran British actor Eric Portman as a former U-Boat commander and now a senior officer in the West German Navy on board as an advisor. (Portman also played a U-Boat captain in the 1941 propaganda movie 49th Parallel.)

So what other Cold War movies does everybody like?
