Zerkalo dlya geroya (1987)
Very good and profound story
It's not a Perestroika movie like previous reviewer said. Funny enough his opinion was copied all over internet. This is a good and strong story about people trapped in a time loop in Stalin time. Funny and sad at times. It's probably hard to comprehend some twists in the story if you're unfamiliar with Russian and USSR history. However, it's not a historic movie. Obviously, main line is about grown up children judging their parents for things they've done int he past. In this case, 2 guys from present time (1987 year actually) found themself in 1930th. One of them was sentenced for responsibility at coal mine explosion. He's doing his best to destroy that coal mine in the past. Another guy meets his parents, pregnant mother and father... Enough of spoilers. :)
Bottom line. Good movie, maybe underrated in Russia, story may seem to be too straight for some people, but it makes people rethink the past and, what's more important, it's very moral and rememberable.
The Thin Red Line (1998)
The best movie about WW2!
I'll be short. It's really the best. I did not have a chance to see it before, but heard a lot about it... I'm really shocked and pleased at the same time. Stunning performance, great script, photography. Everything is about to be perfect! "Private Ryan" is cheap popcorn for teens comparising with this movie. 10/10
Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001)
One comment about fast-food
Hey falks!
Only one comment. This movie isn't that a piece of art and it loses to old 2 ones, but... Hey. Americans! It's really funny to read comments like: "Have Australians never seen McDonald's?" Guys, are you kidding? Can you imagine McDonald's in a wild nature where Mick came from? I guess bushmen never use drive-thru either. :) Sometimes comments make me laughing. Guys, be a little bit "non-americans" writing comments... ;)
With best regards, Alex.
