I think one of the Bourne movies had a Russian scene. And we all know how James Bond made a living back in the Cold War.

How could I forget Hunt for Red October.
Does Crimson Tide count? Not sure if Russia came up in that story, it was just some missile crisis … haven't watched in a while.

You mean Battleship Potemkin? It's a classic. You know the stairway scene in The Untouchables? It's lifted from Battleship.

A young, lean, mean James Gandolfini in Crimson Tide.
i know the movie is inaccurate. Potemkin was taken in 1905, no one was calling that a socialist revolution at that time. That was a bourgeois revolution mates

Not to tweak Alex, but Miracle is excellent. The movie nailed 1980, and Kurt Russell became Herb Brooks.
Russia did win WWII
[h=2]America Won the War Single-Handedly[/h]
Hollywood, WWII-shooters, Cold War politics and chauvinists.
Sixty years of World War II movies, and a decade of WWII video games, have made one thing clear: If it wasn't for America, you'd all be speaking German right now, baby! U-S-A! U-S-A!
How America fights a two-front war.
Because it's like thinking that while many X-Men contributed in their own special way, defeating Magneto really came down to Iceman.
Cool party!
World War II wasn't just a clever name. It was a global conflict that included epic acts of heroism by non-Americans like the storming of Madagascar, the Battle of Westerplatte, the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Kursk, the epically badass Kokoda Track, the pilots of the Polish Underground State, the details of El Alamein or the HMS Bulldog. Of course, Americans never hear about any of those unless, as in the case of the classic submarine film U 571, the characters are just straight up switched to Americans. To quote George S. Patton: "Americans love a winner," which you know because you saw Patton, the film that portrayed Field Marshal Bernard "Rommel-killer" Montgomery like a buffoon simply because he was British.
Cheerio, guv'na!
Understand, the Russia versus Germany part of the war wasn't just a little more important than the part the USA was involved in. It was "four times the scale" of the whole Western front, larger than all other phases of the war put together. The Soviet military suffered eight million soldiers dead, more than 20 freaking times the number of U.S. casualties.
Suck it up, Damon.
It's tragic how many kids in the West never heard these stories growing up. One platoon leader in the Red Army named Yakov Pavlov personally rigged a Stalingrad apartment building with enough landmines, rifles and mortars to hold off half the German army. The building was under fire day and night and even had some civilians in the basement, but the fortress never fell. Pavlov himself picked off one dozen tanks from the beast.

There are two radically different histories of WW II, the one that was actually fought, and the one where the US kicked everyone's assess. Guess which one Cold War-era classrooms were allowed to teach? Here's a hint: It's the same one Hollywood chose to film.World War II wasn't just a clever name.

However, there is one Zangief-sized elephant in the room that America loved to leave out of conversation until the end of the Cold War: the Soviet Union. The "Great Patriotic War" as they called it was the single largest military operation in history, and home to perhaps the biggest turning-point of the war: the Battle of Stalingrad.Understand, the Russia versus Germany part of the war wasn't just a little more important than the part the USA was involved in.

Sounds pretty brutal for a John Wayne movie? Try figuring in another 13.7 million dead civilians.It's tragic how many kids in the West never heard these stories growing up.

I think an army of tipyerbartenders could successfully invade Russia. I'm extremely resourceful, I like the snow, I have a lot of wooly hats, I have a high pain tolerance.

I don't get bowl season, except for us. All these stadiums have a couple dozen people, and you can't tell me anyone's watching this on TV.
