Movies with Russian Accents

As Im sure you could assume from the topic, I am looking for films that prominently feature characters with Russian accents. Preferably films that are fairly mainstream, as I dont want to have to put alot of effort into tracking down a copy.

Why do I want to listen to Russian accents, you might ask?

I just landed a part in a production of Fiddler on the Roof, as the Russian constable. One of my weaknesses as an actor is that I'm awful with accents...I want to work on this one as much as possible, so any suggestions would be much apreciated.

I really dont care what kind of film you suggest. Horror is obviously a prefrence, but Im pretty much open to anything.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sure a few James Bond ones do, Golden Eye comes to mind. Although the accents might be hammed up though.

You know, I really should have seen that coming:rolleyes:

I'm sure he appreciates that. Thanks for another positive contribution!



Return: Congratulations on the part! Great play, you should check out the movie.

Can't think of any accented movies...but let me think.

Cant believe I hadnt thought of those. Been meaning to check out some Bond flicks anyway (have only seen 2), so I can kill two birds with one stone.

Thanks

Thanks

Alan Cumming as Boris Grishenko was pretty good. I maybe wrong but wasn't his Nightcrawler in X2 Russian as well?
