Den polnoluniya (1998)
Life consists of unconnected events
Well, the only reason why I'm commenting on this movie is because I've noticed prior comment from Philadelphia that blamed the movie for the chain of unconnected events - first, it's not quite true - those events were all connected by it was done artfully, not directly: like the one I remember well: a girl riding on the bus looks out of the window and exchanges looks with a handsome guy in the Mercedes, they look like they're created for each other or something close, it was very romantic scene even though it lasted a minute; then camera follows the car and a couple minutes later the car and all people in it pierced with hundred bullets coming from a group of killers, then camera follows killers, etc. I found it to be a very creative way of showing wide picture of life in modern Russia, different layers, different people, etc. BTW, the movie was nominated a couple of times and actually won some awards. Recommend to all open-minded people.

My pulse was above 100 almost all the time. Superb car races, higher-then-average quality of script and actors performance - what else to wish for on a rainy Saturday.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
still the best English-language movie I saw in last 15 years

It's also best Jack Nicolson's movie for me. No matter how bad are the movies he does now, he remains one of the most prominent actors of all times just because of his role in One Flew ...
