 | Come and See
Buy new: $25.49 / Used from: $17.89 probably the best film about the horrors of WWII ever created (if you like this film, you might want to try Tarkovskys Ivans childhood).
|
 | Crime and Punishment / Prestuplenie i Nakazanie
a fantastic screen adaptation of one of the best novels of all time.
|
 | The Diamond Arm
Buy used from: $15.96 Gaidai at his best! One of the most popular Soviet comedies.
|
 | It can't be so!/ Ne mozhet byt'/ Russian Soundtrack Only
A brilliant adaptation of three short stories by Zoshchenko.
|
 | Hello, I Am Your Aunt / Zdravstvuyte, Ya Vasha Tyotya
Buy used from: $10.50 I love this comedy! Kalyagin is simply outstanding in the role of Bubs.
|
 | Station for Two / Vokzal Dlya Dvoikh
In my opinion, A Railway Station For Two is one of the last great films by Eldar Ryazanov. Good story, sometimes sad, but mostly melodramatic and funny.

![The Girls [NTSC] [Russian Language Only]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51s0N1s3hSL._SL75_.jpg) | The Girls [NTSC] [Russian Language Only]
one of the best Russian films of the sixties. A bit naïve, but nevertheless funny, moving and heart-warming.
|
 | The Flight / Beg
Great film based on a great novel by Bulgakov (The Flight).
|
 | Twelve / Dvenadcat'
A remake of 12 Angry Men. There isnt much in the film that would suggest that it is a remake of Lumets masterpiece. It is less successful than Mikhalkovs earlier films, but it is a good movie.
|
 | The Forty First / Sorok Pervy
a great drama from the creator of The Ballad of a Soldier
|
 | Russian Ark: The Masterworks Edition
Buy used from: $79.98 one of the most unusual films I have ever seen. Filmed in one continuous shot, the film tells a lot about the Ark (Hermitage Museum) preserving Russia's culture and art, and ultimately its identity.
|
 | Shostakovich - Katerina Izmailova
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $17.25 my favourite Russian opera film starring the famous Russian soprano opera singer Galina Vishnevskaya.
|
 | The Captivating Star of Happiness
a powerful film about the Decembrists and their wives who followed their husbands to Siberia.
|
 | Gentlemen of Fortune
Buy used from: $19.96 A wonderful comedy loved by millions of Russians and other people from the former Soviet Union.
|
 | Priklucheniia Elektronika
one of my favourite childrens films. A robot boy leaves his owner/creator to learn how to be a human. Nothing special in terms of special effects and sets, but the storyline and acting are great.
|
 | Two Comrades Were Serving
Buy used from: $30.88 the film is permeated with Soviet ideology, which you might find irritating, but the main story of friendship and loyalty will be understood by everyone.
|
 | Ostrov (The Island), NTSC version with English subtitles (2006)
Buy used from: $21.50 thought-provoking film.
|
 | Operation "Y" & Other Shurik's Adventures
Buy used from: $15.75 A classic Soviet comedy. Just look at Nikulins facial expression and try not to laugh or smile.
|
 | The Cranes are Flying - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $15.00 WWII through the prism of the life of one Russian woman. I wish more people in the West could see this film.
|
 | Liquidation / Likvidatsiya - (Russian TV-Series - collector's, 3 DVD SET, NO SUBTITLES)
Very popular TV series. It is often compared to the famous The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed, a great film about two detectives Zheglov and Sharapov.
|
 | Barber of Siberia (Sibirskiy Tsyrulnik)
probably the most Hollywood-like of all Russian films.
|
 | Prisoner of the Mountains
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.97 Excellent film.
|
 | Mimino
Buy used from: $14.38 An excellent comedy about a Georgian helicopter pilot played by the legendary Vakhtang Kikabidze.
|
 | Stalker: A Film by Andrei Tarkovsky
Buy new: $25.49 / Used from: $39.49 Stalker is a very slow-paced and sophisticated film. It can be quite confusing at times, but it leaves a very powerful, lasting and enchanting impression on the viewer.
|
 | Namedni. Nasha era. 1961-2003. (43 serii).NTSC.M.Parfenov
Not a feature film, but an excellent TV documentary covering (albeit briefly) the Soviet/Russian history in 1961-2003. 43 episodes on a 11 DVD set.
