***The Jean Marais Monte Cristo is available at most Russian video/book stores here.
Avilov is a character actor, sort of like Pete Postlethwaite
(can't picture him in just any film...)
I don't know if you will like the "Gn.Oformitel'" , but I recommend it for it's unusual premise. He's perfect in that film.

OK, OK, already, I'll check, honest!

***Chabert I would watch

Yep, sounds like a no-brainer to me.

***- haven't seen any bad Ardant films.

I suspect you enjoyed the "Ridicule". But I am not really trying to recall any bad ones. My wife is the biggest fan of hers. She (Fanny, not my wife) apparently started pretty late.

***She's quite an actress; I can't even think of her American equivalent. There's something about French actresses - the way they carry themselves, the sophistication, the stature, I don't know.

I think you DO. Traditionally the Europeans actors start with those silly things called education, training and expectations (perhaps this is why Fanny did not rush into it - she would look out of place in a "Friday the 143th"). Here we have the endless parade of bimbo's and idiots like Leonardo. Usually they start "taking acting classes" AFTER they already have made it in few flicks and slept with most of Hollywood.

***In Chabert's first minutes you will see plenty of swords and men killed by them and your collection will acquire a new metaphysical meaning.:))

At $2.50 that sounds like a true bargain. BTW, the movies prop swords often are offered for sale, and some folks buy them. So one can buy the telescoping stage sword with paint dispencer and then to proceed surprising his dinner guests - ala Marchello in the Henry IV.

***I think Szabo is a near genius and Mephisto is a film of that caliber. Have you noticed that none of his films ever won an Oscar, weren't even nominated for one...
Incidentally Brandauer played in a Soviet film "Detskii Sad", directed by Evtushenko(whom I have a hard time digesting).

If you can't, you should see how my wife reacts to him. Me, I am kind of neutral, he doesn't bother me much and I think his early appearances on the cultural scene did help to create the atmosphere of openness, even if he, himself, was an opportunist.

***Oh, my age-
"...I grow old, I grow old,
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled...":))

***Sadly, I will be 30 this December 10th...

I suspect you are working on your wish list. Take it from me, it only gets better from there.
