For a non-Russian you’ve seen a huge number, actually. I hope you find another favorite or two or three in here.

At any rate, you’re certainly a good sport. Cheers!

Is Morozko on the list? I will now have to reduce this to a more manageable one!

I just looked at Morozko, and I can see why many would be confused. I picked a pictured entry of the film, not noticing that it included only the English translation of the title (Father Frost), and not the original Morozko, by which many people in several languages know the movie. I have replaced the entry with my own unambiguous entry (albeit with a smaller picture, as I don’t know how to upload the large pictures).

Ah, good stuff- i didn’t know the other title. I’ve seen Fall of the Romanoff dynasty today, fine but enjoyment marred by modern voice-over propaganda commentary by right wing/tsarist apologist Oleg Donskikh(sp?)?
