For years, this reviewer has been hearing complaints that “Hollywood never produces anti-Communist movies,” only liberal or anti-Nazi or anti-American ones. And people, it just isn’t true. Hollywood has produced dozens of anti-Communist movies and continues to do so to this day. While it could have been more, Hollywood does produce them.
The purpose of this article is to provide as comprehensive a listing of all the movies that Hollywood has ever produced that can fairly be called anti-Communist, as this reviewer can come up with. And what are the criteria for a movie to make this list? In at least one of the following three criteria, the movie must:
This reviewer has identified sixty-one movies that satisfy one or more of these criteria. In this article, the reviewer will provide:

A bazillion Holocaust movies, HOW MANY about the Holodomor and Gulags..?
Moscow on the Hudson was fun.
The most recent was in 1999? Kind of a dry spell since then?
No listing of the amazing Polish film, Katyn..?
Wow.
in other words, they haven’t produced any for nearly 25 years...
As a kid I remember seeing THE RIVER CHANGES. It was a low budget and apparently Euro-made film about a town near the Iron Curtain that goes from West to East camp due to a change in the border river’s flow. The Commie bureaucrats and police arrive and start putting the town in order. They confiscated firearms too. The film ended with the townspeople fleeing across the river to the West.

Thanks again.
“Enemy At The Gates” with Jude Law might vaguely qualify.
A rare film that accurately showed Stalin’s treatment of his own fighting men.

We know now that Stalin wasn’t a likable uncle and there really were Red spies trying to ruin our defenses.
One section has movies on the topic.
Rooting for the anti-Communist side as you leaf through it is fun.
It’s not news that people who have lived in privation under the iron fist of communism make movies about how bad it is, it is news when communists who have have stars and starlets in their eyes and have lived a life of luxury and adulation in a capitalist country do...
Movies of the 21st century tomorrow, it says at the end of the article.
Terrifying Polish movie, Katyn
Good point. You come away from that movie as having a visceral feel of what it means to be devalued as a human being - even in wartime - as an expendable tool for the State.
The most pro-commie Hollywood production I have ever seen was MISSION TO MOSCOW(1943).
They laid the communism on thick, and the last scene was of people all going to a shining city on the hill.
Thanks! Somehow I missed that.
