Now this I can contribute to! :) I took an awesome class in college called Russian film.
Here are some of the ones we watched, all of which I enjoyed:
The Adventures of Mr. West in the Land of the Bolsheviks Battleship Potemkin The Cuckoo The Cranes are Flying Dark Eyes East-West (it's actually a French movie, but it's about Stalinist Russia and it's amazing) Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible Andrei Rublev Burnt by the Sun Solaris Oblomov The Barber of Siberia
Even the ones that weren't really, really great were still informative and entertaining. :)
