If you've never see it, Sergei Eisenstein's film "Alexander Nevsky" is an oldie but a goodie.

All of Eisenstein's films. Andrei Rublev is constantly rated as one of the greatest movies, but it's a weighty bugger. Not for casual viewing. The 1966 Soviet version of War and Peace is amazing, if you have seven hours to kill. The Battle of Borodino is one of the greatest battle scenes in any movie.

I remember as a kid in the 1960's they used to show a lot of family friendly movies, and some of them were from the east block, but I wish I at least remembered a few names of them.

Come and See is one of the finest war movies ever made.

Very good film.  The director of that film has a new one that's been nominated for Best Foreign film but I haven't seen it. It's called "Loveless." |

Eisenstein, yes. I’m not a great fan, but Desyat Negrityat (1987) is one of the more faithful adaptations of Christie’s Ten Little Indians. Of what I’ve seen, I’d have to say I’m not a big fan of Russian cinema in general, though.

I've only seen a few I liked.
Come and See (1985) - set in Byelarus during WWII.
Prisoner of the Mountains (1996) - set in the mountains of the North Caucasus and based on a short story by Leo Tolstoy.
Burnt by the Sun (1994) - set in 1936 during the Stalinist Great Purge. A lot of people might find this one to be a borefest.
The 9th Company (2005) - Soviet/Afghan War
Some I haven't seen but would like to:
Russian Ark (2002) seems to be popular. The whole film was shot in the former Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg. "The narrator implies that he died in some horrible accident and is a ghost drifting through the palace. In each room, he encounters various real and fictional people from various periods in the city's 300-year history."
White Tiger (2012) is allegedly interesting. It's a war/fantasy film set on the Eastern Front during WWII.

Somebody once told me about a Russian movie made in the mid-80s that was a rip off of Rambo, but I can't remember the title. Something about a Soviet soldier taking on the American army. Apparently it was a huge hit in Russia, breaking box office records there. Does anyone know this film and what the title is?

Andrei Rublev and The Mirror have already been mentioned, but anything by cinema's supreme visual poet, Andrei Tarkovsky is worthwhile IMO.
