[I]It is an unbreakable tradition that Russian cosmonauts and foreign guests watch this movie the day before they blast off aboard a Soyuz rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome. Apart from the cultural significance this indicates, it shows where the heart and the spirit of the movie lie, where and how White Sun of the Desert transcends whatever genre it might be filed under and comes on its own.[/I]
Watch the whole movie in this thread (Eight parts in total).:

Wow nice find, I've never seen this, and I'm pretty good about the more obscure films!
Thanks!
Very obvious that it's a Soviet era movie.

Your point is?

Good movie but...
Filled with propaganda.
I watch the whole movie and it was great.

It's not like they're shoving ideology down your throat. It appeals to people who already had that ideology to begin with.

Might be so.
Good movie whatsoever.
It's probably the 3rd time I've seen this movie, qwerty.

Wow I didn't know there was a thread on this, I saw the first half hour but didn't get what was going on and didn't watch the rest, I really should.
10 minutes in and I already like the main character.

That was great, made me think of an spaghetti-western with actually likable characters.

How can you not like any of the characters from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly? That's the greatest spaghetti western ever.

They're violent motherfuckers out for a buck.
They're more badass than likable.
A bump for great justice all over.
This movie's great! Some of the cheesy effects mixed well with the comedy and action of it, and I still can't get the mustachio'd wifes face out of my head haha.
If there's a Red Dead Redemption follow-on, it should take place in Soviet Central Asia like in this movie.
It really is a good movie.
World can not imagine how many GREAT Soviet movies there is that no one watched except USSR.
I watched the rest of it and it was ok I guess.
