Inlander:
I'm a big Tarkovsky fan, something that I share with (and really inherited from) my father.  Solaris is amazing, the Mirror is like a poem: you need to watch it over and over and just let the meaning reveal itself to you piece by piece.

One of my absolute favourite movies of all time is Burnt by the Sun by Nikita Mikhalkov.  Easily one of the best films of the 90s.

Jenno:
I've seen Night Watch. Does that count?

nescience:
Oh gosh, the only Russian movies I've seen are Battleship Potemkin and Avalon.  I should expand my Russian horizons!

Bunnyman:
I...er...want to see Stalker, Brother, Solaris, and Potemkin, if that counts.

And then there's Russian Ark.  Which is nifty, if pretentious as fuck.
