master list. After these, I'm back to the research! I still have a list of films which I culled from reading all the Pauline Kael books and winnowing to her most highly praised ones.
The Russkies:
The Ascent
Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors
Father of a Soldier
Oblomov
I worked for Stalin
Mad Love: the films of Evgeni Bauer
The Plea.
Not terribly long. The ones I've already seen I believe were on a list I earlier put on this site and I'm fairly sure you've seen them all. You listed many films which I couldn't get, earlier, because of my non-regional player.

Well, the Ascent sounds promising, given the novel and the director, plus some good actors. Did you by any chance see Posledniy poezd? I would say it is a must. The Shadows I don't know how will go down, curious to see your reaction, but a very good movie, great director, try to find his other works. The Father is a well-acted war drama, the main actor there also played Marshal Bluher in Bondarchuk's Waterloo if you recall that film... and Oblomov is of course classic, boring, and slow - you will love it, I am sure! :)

The others I don't know.

BTW, your problem is not really the wrong region player, but the fact the Russian movies typically would not have the subs. Otherwise I could give you quite a few, but only after you learned Russian! :)
- "The Last Train," isn't available at Netflix so I'm out-of-luck since that's - tinear 19:39:45 01/17/10 (0)
  my one foreign film source.
  Too bad about the subtitles and your collection.
  What also is very upsetting is the lack of availability of Lithuanian films. So many of them have received great reviews over the past decades but they pretty much are completely unavailable here. We need to get more Lithuanian immigrants! Any piece of crap from India seems to find its way to Netflix, for instance.
