100 Greatest Russian Language Movies

Here is my first attempt at "Russian Language" movies.
The first 9 are from our greatest movies list in the right order.
I mostly ranked by popularity and reviews on IMBD, with greater rank for historic, war, drama, crime, and a little lower for comedy, romance, and family favorites.
(After finishing I realized there were no Russian language Horror movies)
(I'll be adding the titles in Russian and the main actors for the webpage)
Give me your opinions on ranks or additions.

I'm pretty sure Stalker and Come and See are on the greatest movies list as well.

The Ascent should also be higher.

Lew wrote: Sun Sep 27, 2026 9:00 am (After finishing I realized there were no Russian language Horror movies)

Viy (1967) might be a good choice for the list.

Other movies to consider are Alexei German’s "My Friend Ivan Lapshin" and "Khrustalev, My Car!" Their ratings are generally even higher than "Hard to Be a God". Alexander Sokurov's “Mother and Son” and “Russian Ark” would also be suitable.

Take another look.
I updated with your suggested additions and moved a few around.

Yes. According to that, "Stalker" should be #3 and "Come and See" should be #7 (right below "The Mirror"). Four Tarkovsky in a row and in the top 10 look a little overkill but if that's what we decided why not?

This is the problem with using IMDb charts unreviewed. 9.6/10 from 75 ratings. Shouldn't be anywhere near any list.
