Hunt For Red October, and all of the early James Bond films. Firefox. Spies Like Us.

Any of the stuff featuring the foreboding, monolithic East with its snow and dim lighting and big black weapons of war with the red star on them vs. the scrappy, morally superior, witty West, where every country got along because we had to keep the Soviets from nuking us all. Plus, we had spies. Spies are cool. And the aircraft! We used to discuss fighter planes like kids today trade...what, Pokemon?

Ahh the halcyon days before the "America is to blame for everything" crowd's balls dropped, and the media started paying attention to them.
