  Hi Dima,

  Your recommdations are of course on the lighter side - good films though. I am also not sure how well the Gentlemen will translate - too colloquial perhaps. But I would most definitely add such gems as Zigzag Udachi and Beregis' Avtomobilia - both incredibly deep in addition to being gut-wrenchingly funny.

  Dmitry,

  I appreciate the recommendations of all. Thanks.

  Dmitry, I didn't mean to be sacrcastic or denigrating regarding Russian humour as my Russian friends here in Los Angeles are as funny and fun-loving as anyone I've ever known- and absolutely devesating chess palyers, but after seeing so many Russian movies over many years, I realized I had never seen a filmed Russian comedy.

  This is true of Swedish film too.

  I think that movies from certain regions become known in a certain genre and become so very strongly associated that only the expected ones are widely distributed in cinemas. We wouldn't expect kung-fu movies from India, Danish terrorists taking over the Vatican, or Italian space adventures, but they are probably still made.

  Cheers,

  Bambi B

    Get the ones I suggested. They're heirlooms of comedy.

  set in WW2 where a young soldier gets a pass for leave by knocking out a Nazi Panzer; he hitchhikes home to see his mother and has some adventures on the way... don't remember the title or the film (possibly 1950's) but some of the imagery was just great, nicely paced and a good story
  Does anyone on the forum know this one?
