Soviet cinema was distinguished by some kind of special warmth and emotionality. Stunningly talented actors and outstanding directors have created a real movie. Stories about exploits and historical tapes, emotional family films and parables, science fiction, adventures, detective stories - more than one generation grew up and was brought up in these films. We invite you to recall the most sincere Soviet films that still captivate the viewer today.

"Love and Doves", 1984

The film by Vladimir Menshov can rightfully be called a masterpiece. Everything is beautiful in it: the atmosphere of the Russian hinterland, sincere and sometimes comic in their naivety characters, brilliant actors and an uncomplicated plot. And it all adds up to a deep, soulful and emotional film. You can watch it over and over again, enjoying every shot.

"Girls", 1964

A simple story about a girl Tona, who came to a construction site in a small village and met her love, still touches her with her sincerity. The characters of the characters are solid, there is no place for falsehood, and therefore the film of Yuri Chulyukin simply cannot leave anyone indifferent. And it continues to fascinate the viewer, despite the fact that more than half a century has passed since its creation.

"The Wizards", 1982

It seems that even today it is impossible to imagine the New Year without watching the film by Konstantin Bromberg, based on the work of the Strugatsky brothers. Perhaps it remains relevant simply because even adults and respectable people want to believe in magic so much and cannot imagine their life without miracles.

Once Upon a Time 20 Years Later, 1981

A very touching and atmospheric story told by director Yuri Egorov. It is about a mother with many children who came to a reunion 20 years after leaving school. At first glance, the words of Nadia Kruglova, played by Natalya Gundareva, about work as a mother are at first lost against the background of stories of accomplished and successful classmates. But then the whole family of the main character appears on the doorstep of the class.

"You never dreamed of", 1980

This film by Ilya Frez is about a sincere, touching and such a defenseless first love of two teenagers who face incomprehension and even opposition from adults. And the main characters are ready for anything in order to be together.

"The most charming and attractive", 1985

The picture of Gerald Bezhanov with Irina Muravyova in the title role conquers with its sincerity. Maybe because even today not everyone is able to see their prince on a white horse in a simple boy living next door, or in a colleague sitting at a desk by the window?

"Three poplars on Plyushchikha", 1967

It is not for nothing that this film by Tatyana Lioznova became a real hit in the 1960s. The main characters, played by Tatyana Doronina and Oleg Efremov, met in the capital for only a few hours. But a chance acquaintance left an indelible mark on everyone's life.

"Spring on Zarechnaya Street", 1956

This film by Marlen Khutsiev is a true Soviet classic. It is about the great true love of two seemingly very different people, a modest teacher of Russian language and literature and her student from a school for working youth, a self-confident guy who is not used to the refusals of women.

"We'll Live Until Monday", 1968

Stanislav Rostotsky shot at one time a truly brilliant film. It is about love in all its manifestations, about schoolchildren and teachers, first discoveries and first doubts. And more about happiness, which lies in the words said by the boy: "Happiness is when you are understood …"

Old Fashioned Comedy, 1978

In this film, Era Savelyeva and Tatyana Berezantseva play, in fact, only two: Igor Vladimirov and Alisa Freindlich. But they play in such a way that it is simply impossible to tear yourself away from the screen. Their heroes, the chief physician and a former circus artist, met in a Baltic sanatorium. What will this chance, in general, acquaintance of two adults develop into?

Now, in the age of high technologies and the Internet, you can watch absolutely any film or series without being tied to the time of its showing on television. And in the USSR, people were waiting for the broadcasts of their favorite films as a holiday. During the screenings of some Soviet films and TV series, even the city streets were emptied, because people were in a hurry to get home to cuddle up to the TV screen and see your favorite TV characters.
