I really like their take on Winnie the Pooh, check that out if you haven't. Andrei Tarkovsky has a lot of great films, Stalker and Nostalgiah are two of my favorite movies in general. I also like Nu Pogodi and I own stuffed animals of the cat and dog from Three from Prostikvashino. If you squeeze the dog he yells at you in Russian that if your cow was smart he'd produce Pepsi instead of milk.

I watched Come and See recently and absolutely loved it, though it is exactly as sad as everyone says it is

I remember being in college and seeing a film series being put on, a retrospective on Soviet made SciFi movies. It was titled "From the Tsars to the Stars!" I only saw one of the films on offer, Planeta Bur or "Planet of Storms." Honestly it deserves the MST3K treatment, but I am still very affectionate towards the film.

In it, a Soviet space mission performs it's first manned landing on Venus, and they find it to be populated by lizard men and dinosaurs.

I'd also mention that the Soviets made a series of movies sometimes referred to as "Osterns" or Westerns made and set in the East. perhaps most famous of these is The White Sun of the Desert, and adventure comedy set in Central Asia during the Russian Civil War. I thought it was fun, and apparently Cosmonauts watched it before launches for good luck. Free on Youtube.

There's another that I actually learned about from The Deprogram podcast called The Irony of Fate. A romantic comedy from the 80's(?), apparently it's a popular watch on the holidays, and I'm waiting for then to watch it.

kin-dza-dza is also worth a watch, although it wasnt allowed to be shown in the soviet union for some reason

There's a Soviet time travel comedy movie whose title translates to "Back to the Future" and I like it for the title alone

Man with a Movie Camera is fantastic, if you think you might be into silent documentaries. On top of the great visual storytelling it's fascinating to see early film techniques, some of which were invented for this film, that we today take for granted.

I was born in the United States in 1994, five years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, so I don't know why you'd ask me.

But I think my answer would be the 1986 film Courier, about young people coming of age in a decaying society.

I haven't seen that many, but like everyone else in the world; Stalker.

Polygon, sometimes called Proving Ground - it's a really cool animated short about an automated tank. If you like horrifying devil machines like Gundam, it's worth a watch!

Ivan Vassilyevich Changes Professions is a silly lowbrow comedy, I mostly remember it for this song Marusya (Kap-kap-kap)

Another one is The Color of Pomegranates directed by Parajanov, if you like art house shit. Don't know of a YouTube link with English subtitles, though subtitles aren't that important for this mostly visual film in three languages Azerbaijani, Armenian, and Georgian. English is available on the Criterion Channel.

And shout out to Tarkovsky, my favorites are definitely Mirror, Nostalgia, and Andrei Rublev. Those are all available with subtitles on YouTube under the Mosfilm channel. There are Easter eggs to Andrei Rublev in his later films. (The hot air balloon picture frame in the cabin in Solaris, and the Andrei Rublev poster in Mirror.)
