.., and from a simpler time, I can recommend Billy Wilder's
"1-2-3". I still think about it as a masterwork of timing
in comedy. I first saw it when it was on back in the days
if Saturday Night At The Movies. James Cagney, Horst Bucholtz, Pamela Tiffin in an across the
border escapade about Coca Cola Company setting up
shop in Russia. It could be remade today in China. But
a Wilder film _cannot_ be remade.
Also along the lines of the skewed political film there is
The Underground by Eumir Kusturica (I remember his name only
because it sounds like Costa Rica and he has made one of
my favorite films of all time called "Black Cat, White Cat."
