Thread: Where to buy Russian movies on DVD?

I've been studying Russian for some time now and began to watch movies in Russian. Obviously, I'd like to find real russian movies (not Hollywood movies translated in Russian), if possible with both Russian and English subtitles.

They are quite easy to get in Russia or in Brighton Beach, but where I live nobody sells such DVDs. Amazon has good movies but the selection is limited and they are rather expensive.

Did anybody buy from one of the online shops specialized in Russian films? Did you get what you ordered? Is there one specific shop you can recommend?

Thanks for your quick reply Линдзи!

Did you every buy from this shop? How fast was the delivery? Would you rate say it is as reliable as, for example, Amazon.com?

All websites I found look fine but I am wary of poor service or lack of responsiveness if the client lives in Europe.

I ordered a couple of books from them, and they came within ten days in good shape. I haven't made enough purchases from them to compare them to amazon.com, but I don't have any complaints about their service, either.

Take a look at http://www.ozon.ru

alexei thank you for the link. Yes indeed this looks like a fine shop. I wonder if anybody here ordered from them from outside Russia?

Be careful since DVDs from Russia may not be viewable in other countries (unless it is a multi-format DVD). Also, check this link for Russian movies with English subtitles: http://masterrussian.com/mbks_mv0d.shtml ('add to cart' button works so far)
