Several things

First - there were tons of very fine moves made there. Just today, in a car, the four of us remembered several. There was never - during my years there - a shortage of great films. Real masterpieces by any standard. With all the censorship going on, quite a few made it. From time to time we revisit some of them - they are largely available on Internet.

Second - there was steady stream of contemporary foreign films. Not a huge stream, but still plenty of American, European films, some Asian. Granted, most of them showed hard Western life.

Third - we had good access to foreign classics. They were shown in one or two theaters in the city, but they were active and always busy. So by the time we left at the age of 29, we were very familiar with world classics.

And fourth... those idiotic propaganda films, typically shown on local TV - some of them were actually quite stupid but funny, some of them we remember to this day.
