Aelita: Queen of Mars will always be a favorite of mine. In fairness I think the book is way better (but when is that ever not the case?) but considering when it was made, not too long after the end of the civil war, it is really impressive technically (at least the parts set on Mars): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je1bIhS-7G8 Also, want some nightmare fuel? Check out the necrorealist movement, what might be termed a surrealistic-horror indie genre that critiqued the social and economic stagnation of the Brezhnev era. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWyw0qqziFs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wA7XgL03q8 Also, I'm hoping this thread can help me. Maybe 10 years or so ago, I saw a movie from what was either the late 1920s or early 1930s, about a single woman in Moscow who ends up in a relationship with two men, has an abortion, and ends up leaving her husband to work on her own. It was basically an early Stalinist era feminist film endorsing a woman's right to choose, to live on her own, to have casual relationships, etc. It fascinated me and I really wish I could remember the title of it.

For me, the book and each movie version of Solaris are different enough (not just in plot but themes and characterizations and even general topics) that it's hard for me to directly say that one is better than the other. Although I'd definitely put the Soderburgh version lowest, it was actually far better than I was expecting. On the topic of Lem, wasn't The Futurological Congress supposed to be being made into a movie?
