The most recent was in 1999? Kind of a dry spell since then?

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.

I know the article is about cinema, so I mention this as an aside, but during its run, I always felt an undercurrent of conservative themes in the X-Files TV series. Years later, I stumbled across this article which lays out the argument in a far more persuasive and articulate manner than I could:
The Truth About the "X-Files"

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

There is a book that is meant to attack the proper early vigilance against communism called: Red Scared! : The Commie Menace in Propaganda and Popular Culture By Michael Barson and Steven Heller. 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.

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.
To: Kaslin
And the newest one listed was:
Animal Farm (1999): George Orwells allegory of the 1930s Soviet Union and European international politics, replete with talking farm animals. Patrick Stewart provides the voice-over for the Stalin stand-in, the pig Napoleon. Other voice-overs provided by Julia Ormond, Peter Ustinov, Kelsey Grammer, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Paul Scofield.
20 years ago, so the condemnation of Hollywood is correct. It no longer produces anti-communist movies.

Atlas Shrugged (2011) may not be a good example of a hollyweird move. Those guys did everything but put on bake sales to fund the flick. Rand is among the most rabid anti-socialist (communist?) authors out there.
First movie was great, second not as well done, third kinda limped in....(.02)
The Fountainhead is kinda Atlas Shrugged in more compact form... Similarly anti-tyranny

Bitter Harvest (2017) isn’t on the list. I think it’s a Canadian production, so maybe it doesn’t qualify as “Hollywood”. It is specifically about the Holodomor.

Kate Nelligan made one titled “Eleni” I think. Not sure where it was made but it was very Anti-Communist. It was set in post war Greece.

An exceptional Polish film (hence not on this list) is "Ida." While not created strictly as a anti-communist movie, it starkly shows the effects of the dark blanket of communism thrown over Poland. It is a most unusual plot (from Wiki): is a 2013 drama film directed by Paweł Pawlikowski and written by Pawlikowski and Rebecca Lenkiewicz. Set in Poland in 1962, it is about a young woman on the verge of taking vows as a Catholic nun. Orphaned as an infant during the German occupation of World War II, she must now meet her aunt. The former Communist state prosecutor and only surviving relative tells her that her parents were Jewish. The two women embark on a road trip into the Polish countryside to learn the fate of their family.
