I enjoy watching films as part of the language learning process, but I haven't had that much luck finding them in Russian. Could someone recommend a few good ones? Thank you.

Not sure if I really liked it but it was different and ... interesting in its own particular way.

I would recommend "Irony of Fate". Anyone who speaks Russian would have seen this wonderful film. I was told that every year around Christmas this film would be broadcasted, similarly like "It's a Wonderful Life" in the U.S.

It has been a while since I saw it but I believe "Burnt by the Sun" was pretty good.

try "Master and Margarita" series (has 10 parts), i rather liked it, and if you get a long film / series, it saves you trouble of looking for a new one for quite a while.

The "Irony of Fate" already mentioned above has part 2, it just came out this christmas, and seems to be very successful. I have not seen it yet, though.
There's also "Bumer"

Iron of fate part two was only is not on dvd. it will replay next holiday season in the theaters. They are using the film to try and get people to go to the movies during the holidays.
If you want to watch a long movie over a period of days, War and Peace 1968 is a good choice. Just make sure it is not the English sound track version.
If you share the type of movies you like to watch, I can recommend some films to you that match your interest.

There was an American student edition of the screenplay of "Ballad of a Soldier" published in the 60s; you might be able to find a used copy and follow the dialogue. The movie itself is available in a nice DVD edition from the Criterion Collection.
