I've only watched Come and See and Triumph over Violence so far. Did try to watch Kin-dza-dza!, but couldn't find a subbed version.

The top two that one really needs to see in my humble opinion are "Man with a Movie Camera" by Dziga Vertov and "Battleship Potemkin" by Sergei Eisenstein. Both directors tried to find a filmic language that would serve the communist cause and both succeeded. You've never seen films like these before.

Man with a movie camera is so incredible. It's truly an achievement of Soviet art
