Given the current world order and all the hate being sent towards Russia right now, I thought maybe a little flashback to when things weren't so out of control might be in order.

So what movies or TV shows do you know where the US (The West) and Russia (The East) work together to the benefit of both?

I'll start with three well known examples.

-The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 2015 (TV & Movie)



-2010: The Year We Make Contact 1984



-White Nights 1985

drawing a blank actually of any specific ones.... naturally Soviet/Russian films (fascinating films btw) are proud to highlight (and correctly so) how they alone broke the German militaries back..

and most of ours sort of touch on battles in the run up to the final months of the war when the first front was still a ways eastward..

the closest is perhaps Force 10 from Navarone...  yes.... Barbara f**king Bach rules...

I think GoldenEye was pretty close, if I remember correctly (more Bach in the Spy Who Loved Me , less Beethoven for Micky) LOL 
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Lesley-Anne Down (as KGB agent Olga Barisova) & Peter Sellers (as Inspector Clouseau)

I have little doubt Russia & the West have cooperated and colluded in many ways as yet undisclosed.   Why not be mutually beneficial when you can.
