Russian Movies

Thanks for all the suggestions about Russian singers and songs, many of them were great!

Another question is about Russian movies. What Russian movies would you recommend for the Russian language student who loves good films?

He liked Ironia sud'by and Obyknovennoe chudo. He was able to understand about third of the dialogs in Russian and the rest with the help of English and Russian subtitles.

Thanks!

Excellent choice!

I'd recomment these film too, no doubt. Before I thought what of two films to pick - 'Kin-Dza-Dza' (Кин-дза-дза) or 'Formula of Love'.
'Formula of Love' has won becouse of the action has been in Russia.

+ 1 «Сказка странствий». Also the other two, but this one in particular, as it has become unjustifiably obscure. It can be hard to find, though (I used to have a DVD rip of it somewhere).
