Haven't seen nearly as much Eisenstein as I should have, but I actually like Alexander Nevsky a slight bit more than Battleship Potemkin. The battle scene is just...mwah!

the local vid library has Ivan The Terrible on DVD... it seems to be all about how Ivan The Terrible is actually G*R*A*T*E in a hymn-to-Stalin kind of way.

It's pretty wry when Prince Nevsky says "it's better to die than to leave your homeland" considering Eisenstein had only returned a couple years before from jaunts in Mexico, Europe and America.
