Check what I have written before about this war...and also Dmitri Venaev's blog. Also the book and/or the movie Kite Runner is strongly advised.

I found Kite Runner here

for anyone interested.
Charlie Wilson's War is also an Afgan-Soviet war themed movie.
Ulas,
I have become addicted to that blog (thanks to you).
Also try this movie. Although a bit "americanized" it is a rare example of an English dubbed Afghan-Soviet War movie.

Kite Runner is not actually based on the war but has some very touching scenes on Afghans opposing the invasion force.
