Berlin Wall or Germany in the Cold War Movies

anyone know any? ive been looking for one. i was just in berlin and i went through the checkpoint charlie museum and found it all very intresting.

 

You might want to see if you can pick up John Le Carre’s The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, or Alfred Hitchcock’s The Third Man, they are great Cold War movies. Or more recently the one called Night Crossing with John Hurt which entails a family's trials to cross from east to west.

 

Wow! Thanks a lot! Those were were some of the perfect movies i was looking for. Thanks for the help! I appreciate it! Also nice car!

 

The Berlin Tunnel-which I THINK had Richard Thomas and another was Enigma-which has Martin Sheen in it. The Counterfeit Traitor is another and I think this one has William Holden in it?????? Its late and im too sleepy to think of others.

 

"Goodbye Lenin" might be what you are looking for.

 

Funeral In Berlin is well worth watching

 

Apart from those already mentioned I would also recommend:

"The Looking Glass War"
The Looking Glass War (1969)

"The Lives of Others"
Das Leben der Anderen (2006)

"Sonnenallee"
Sonnenallee (1999)

"The Architects"
Die Architekten (1990)

The first is a spy movie the others deal with the live in the East German dictatorship.

Hi

how about the quirky British comedy from 2007: Mrs Ratcliffe's Revolution (Mrs. Ratcliffe's Revolution (2007)) set in 1968 with Iain Glenn playing a British teacher who from a distance finds the east german way of live fascinating, so moves his entire family there. His wife played by Catherine Tate has quite different views. As a comedy it is quite lame, but it does show an interesting take of the British intellectuals fascination with communism, and the realities of the system once actually there.

Film's tag line: She left the land of Marks & Spencer and went to the world of Marx and Lenin.
