I mean, c'mon! Russians are always villains!!!! I want to know, if there are any modern Hollywood movies, where Russians are good guys? (besides 2012)|||During World War II Russia was part of the Allied forces, so U.S. movies portrayed them in a positive light. These films would include:
Song of Russia (1944)
Days of Glory (1944)
Mission to Moscow (1943)
Russians became stereotypical villains in American movies with the advent of the Cold War in the 1950s. However, this wasn't always the case by the 60s; case in point, the following movie:
The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966)
In the 80's, Cold War tensions were high again, but there were a couple of films with Russians as protagonists:
2010 (1984)
Moscow on the Hudson (1984)
Red Heat (1988)|||I thought Arnold played a Russian good guy in a movie with Jim Belushi. Can't remember the name. Or "Enemy at the Gates" where Jude Law plays a sniper during the standoff with Nazi Germany at Stalingrad.
Ah, "Red Heat", thanks Siamese cat.|||Anastasia - though NO ONE has a Russian accent at all.|||Red Heat, Arnold Schwarzenegger cast as a Russian narc. Wtih James Belushi.|||White Knights (Mikhail Baryshnikov)

Are there any American movies, where Russians are portrayed as good guys, or have a Russian guy as good guy?
