The Lives of Others...if you haven’t seen it...
Hard to find because communists control the film industry.
The remake, of course, is anything but anti-communist--it's anti-capitalist.
Animal Farm?
Neither side is appealing, and the poor Dr. is just trying to go along to get along. I understand the book is a good deal more anti-communist. At least the commies thought it was.
(Just kidding.)
It's a genre Hollywood doesn't really explore, but I'll offer up The Pursuit of Happiness. While communism isn't really a theme at all, the movie offers a very inspiring story of the success that comes through hard work and determination in America.
Sicko?
I thought “The Lost City” was terrific, too. I rented it on a FReeper recommendation. I could watch Andy Garcia forever. Loved the bit about the saxophone!
THE BEST anti-communist film ever made will be a 2009 film (ie ‘the next one’) about 2008-The Year that EXXON took on Jugo Chavez, the world’s #1 economic terrorist....Jugo just found out why economic terrorism doesn’t work!
PEDEVESA just got ‘chavezed’

I love Exxon!.......finally a productive use for lawyers and oil money!
Now if Oil Barron Bush can just convince all the other US Oil Companies that Jugo is raping and pillaging we’ve got a horse race! I believe Boosh can beat Jugo at his own game.....ie,
WE WIN, THEY LOSE! I love President Bush....aka little reagan.
“In a Jan. 24 “freezing injunction” by a British High Court, the court said that “until the return date or further order from the court,” PDVSA “must not remove from England or Wales any of its assets which are in England or Wales up to the value of $12 billion.”
The court also said that if PDVSA disobeys the order, it could be held in contempt of court and be fined or have assets seized.”
“...most of PDVSA’s assets are located in Venezuela and the United States, where the company has refineries.”.....looks like EXXON may be ‘acquiring’ new refineries after all!
Americans need to DEMAND that EXXON and ConocoPhillips WIN, and WIN substantially...feel free to write your Congressman!
This should be the 2008 Good v. Evil poster child for capitalism v. communism....all the way to Election day. And Congress, The White House and the Judiciary needs to be fully engaged!
Another vote for Other People's Lives which I've heard great things about but haven't seen yet.
The Lives of Others. Clearly, in my opinion.
I think Fountainhead ranks pretty high up there. Also, From Russia with Love wasn’t too bad. On the other side of the ledger, I’d nominate just about any movie ever made by that lying commie pig Henry Fonda as among the most communist.

Most of the anti-commie movies of the ‘50s — My Son John, Big Jim McClain, I Married A Communist, I Was A Communist For The FBI — were pretty awful. The best of these were probably the films of Samuel Fuller, notably Pickup On South Street.
Also notable is Man On A Tightrope, directed by Elia Kazan right after he testified before HUAC (and just before he made On The Waterfront). Although forgotten today, it was one of the better films in this group, perhaps because it was more of an escape thriller than political tract.
“Goodbye, Lenin” and “The Manchurian Candidate.”
