If you\u2019re not familiar with Tarkovsky, it\u2019s worth mentioning that Ingmar Bergman considered him his favorite director, and Akira Kurosawa once said, \u201cEvery cut from his films is a marvelous image in itself.\u201d The list of available films now includes: Ivan\u2019s Childhood \u2013 Web \u2013 (1962)<br \/>\nAndrei Rublev &#8211; Part 1 \u2013 Part 2 \u2013 (1966)<br \/>\nSolaris &#8211; Web \u2013 (1972)<br \/>\nThe Mirror &#8211; Web \u2013 (1975)<br \/>\nStalker &#8211; Part 1 \u2013 Part 2 &#8211; (1979)<br \/>\nNostalghia &#8211; Web \u2013 (1983)<br \/>\n(Note: If you access the films via YouTube, be sure to click \u201cCC\u201d at the bottom of the videos to access the subtitles.) You can thank Mosfilm, the oldest film studio in Russia, if not Europe, for bringing these films to the web. If you head to Mosfilm\u2019s YouTube Channel, you can watch more than 50 Russian classics, including Sergei Bondarchuk\u2019s 1969 adaptation of Tolstoy\u2019s War &amp; Peace, a film that Roger Ebert called \u201cthe definitive epic of all time.\u201d In a concession to Western capitalism, each film is preceded by a short commercial, proving yet again that there\u2019s no such thing as a truly free lunch. Finally, don\u2019t miss our collection of 435 Free Movies Online, which features six films by Sergei Eisenstein, Russia\u2019s pioneering filmmaker and film theorist: Strike, Battleship Potemkin, Romance Sentimentale, October: Ten Days That Shook the World, Old and New and Alexander Nevsky. They\u2019re all there.
