For those confused by why certain well-respected films are so "low" on this list, please keep in mind #1-#25 consists of the 1908-1957 list, and #26-#100 is the 1958-2000 list. In other words, Andrei Rublev is actually the #1 film on the 1958-2000 poll.
_Molokh_ made this list, but _Mother and Son_ did not? Assumedly, if the poll were to be taken today, _Mother and Son_ would make the list, along with _Russian Ark_ (and other directors' films, such as _The Return_).
I agree that the most baffling aspect of this list is the inexplicable order, with the films usually lauded the most sprinkled throughout the more minor classics and pop hits.
@Metnyi: if that means this list; http://www.listsofbests.com/list/49898-aka-local-hero-s-1000+-quintessential-russian-movies - is coming, I can't wait either ;)
The ordering seems wrong: for example Andrei Roublev had 48 votes while The Cranes are Flying had only 47, you can see that at the auteurs page (there's a link in the description). This list is composed of two parts (pre- and post 1958), each of them ordered by votes.

Thanks, bjornam. Yep, that's my list! I assumed it was too large for this site's purposes, but if they open it up to all films, then why not?bjornam

Don't they consider "Night watch" and "Day watch" good movies in Russia?
