Every week, “Charts & Graphs” looks past the weekend box-office numbers to examine other lists of movies that are popular right now, as assessed by the likes of iTunes, Amazon, Box Office Mojo, and other services.

Earlier this week, The Hollywood Reporter posted a story about a Russian parliamentarian who has proposed legislation to ban all foreign films in which Russia is “overtly demonized or shown in a primitive and silly way.” But the part of that Hollywood Reporter article that particularly caught my attention was the passing mention of a list generated by Russia’s culture ministry, of 100 recommended foreign films. I tried to find a site that had printed the entire list in English, but the best I could find was a link to the actual Russian culture ministry’s page, with the list in Cyrillic. I let Google Translate work its magic, and it spit out a list that’s about 80% the same as the original movie titles, and about 20% roundabout translations. Of those translations, most of the them—minus a small handful—are pretty easy to figure out. Nevertheless, I thought it would be fun to reprint the translated list as I originally saw it (save for my alphabetizing), to give readers a chance to play the reinterpretation game.

A few notes:

• I initially thought that Cabiria and Nights Of Cabiria was an accidental duplication, but no—the former is a 1914 silent film.
• Condominium, Dizziness, and Finally Safe! are my favorite retitlings, and ones I plan to integrate into daily usage as soon as possible.
• Although I could probably figure out the answers if I went back to the culture ministry page and looked at the posters, the titles I’m still puzzling over are Ball, Children Raika, Pursuit, and Quay Fogs.
• This is a pretty unimpeachable cinematic canon, overall, with maybe a couple of exceptions. Which movie is most out of place? And are any here that would meet with disapproval from the Russian parliament?
