Hi all
Been searching for a site which documents (and preferably gives some comment - at least minimal) on aLL Russian/Soviet films. I intend to do a search for topic films from late sixties and 1970s as these tend to be my faves. Have tried googling but cannot find what I am after.

Thanks to all

Might be if I could access it - same problem as the girl actors site :-

Sorry, this imdb.com (Internet Movie Database) page is not accessible from your address or browser. This page contains information which may explain why you are seeing this error instead of the page you wanted. Please read this information and if after reading it you still do not understand why you have been denied access then you should use the contact details at the end to request information specific to your case.

Any ideas how I can get round this without compromising security ?

Why the hang up over security with imdb?
I'm far more worried about using password protected sites when my computer is also running e-mule as someone hacked my Amazon account. I'm using a an updated firewall and I run anti virus each week so I'm guessing e-mule exposes some weakness.

What does the additional information say? And what is limiting your access, your ISP? An anonymizer?

Fixed it :-
FF - go to about:config, find entry called general.useragent.override and amend this from blank to whatever you desire !
