Inspired by other similar threads...

Although, in terms of quantity, I'm far back from the other collectors around here, I hope it will be of interest for someone to see how are things going around the world...

I'll present the items in the form of images + text lists (because the covers are mostly written in Cyrillic), grouped roughly chronologically by decades of the film releases, starting from the older times.

Main List by decades (revealed titles so far):

So are all these with Bulgarian subtitles or do you like dubbed movies?

@mrblond Хей! Кой е твоят любим български режисьор?

Лачените обувки на незнайния воин [The Unknown Soldier's Patent Leather Shoes] (1979) is great. But I still haven't seen The Peach Thief (1964) and The Goat Horn (1972).

The Peach Thief (1964) and The Goat Horn (1972) are good indeed especially the later but both have some political interference that is a bit annoying.

As for the directors, there are several notable ... two of them Eduard Zahariev and Ivan Andonov both have multiple classics...
