We have gone through these many times before - I would ask you to search on my name, on Dmitry and perhaps clark with keywords like Russian, Soviet. Then if you could build a list this way, we could look at it and perhaps to it?

I presume you already have War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, Karamazov Brothers on your list? Problem is in knowing which ones have been translated.

But things like Komissar, Beg would be interesting. Then there are many that the West will probably never see, things like Beregis avtomobilya, Zigzag Udachi and Garage, that represent some of the best of the comedies. Ne Goriyi and Mimino, and virtually any other film by Danelia are highly recommended.

If you feel like entering the world of "new" Russian cinema, where many underworld and criminal films dominate, then Tycoon is a must, and then the recent Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor) had created a stir.

See, you dragged me into making the list, but let me bail out at this point.

Or are you really looking for more classic works? But man, this is a huge subject.
