Also, I might as well ping everyone from RT/Corrie to see if their interested. If you don't wish to join, it's totally cool.
@ApexPredator @Captain Terror @crumbsroom @Jinnistan @John Dumbear @John W Constantine @kgaard @Rockatansky @Slentert @StuSmallz @Takoma @ThatDarnMKS @Thief @Torgo @WHITBISSELL! Also, @Citizen Rules and @Wyldesyde19 both expressed interest in this, so I'll ping both of them as well. |

Re: Russian Language Hall of Fame II
Nicely done Speling Error!
So glad to see the RT/Corries take a shining to the HoFs🙂 I hope more will join in, these HoFs are a highlight at MoFo. |
Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is not a Russian film and it has nothing to do with Russia.
It is a Soviet film. But the Soviet Union encompassed some 15 republics. |

Re: Russian Language Hall of Fame II
Can I submit Ikarie XB-1 as my favorite Russian film, even if it is from Czechoslovakia?

Re: Russian Language Hall of Fame II
I think I'll join this, I'll just ask the other participants to watch mine last as I have to make it over a particularly busy patch for myself. I'll do my best and I'll nominate a film that only goes 30 minutes.

Sadly, that one wouldn't apply.

Re: Russian Language Hall of Fame II
Ughh, I will think real hard if I want to join. I had a hard time in terms of scheduling to finish the HOF24, I also neglected the Personal Rec HOF during that time, plus I have my own Movie Loot challenge to deal with... but I will think it through.

Re: Russian Language Hall of Fame II
So films made under the Soviet Union don't apply, or apply as long as they are in Russian?

I’m in. Going to think about what to nominate. I have two definite choices here to consider.
|
Thanks, but Russian language movies are a bit of a blind spot for me. Have fun, everyone, and good luck, Error!

Re: Russian Language Hall of Fame II
I think I will enjoy this one from the bench. 1) For the reasons I stated before and 2) because I was checking on Letterboxd how many Russian films I've seen and I don't think it even amounts to 10, or maybe even 5. And the ones I've seen are either fairly well known (which means that probably most people here have seen them or will get nabbed first) or are just crap. But I'll be looking and picking up recommendations.
