Either version of Dr. Zhivago is a good place to start. |

I won't say 'best' RCW film, but there was a 2008 Russian film 'Admiral', about White leader Admiral Kolchak: YouTube link |

Best novel by far: 'And Quiet Flows the Don', Mikhail Sholokhov. At least a couple of TV adaptations exist, among others a 1958 one by Gerasimov and an… interesting version by Bondarchuk, with Rupert Everett and F.Murray Abraham, filmed at the beginning of the Nineties but only released in 2006. A shorter, 3-hour version was released on DVD. link |

Dr Zhivago probably, there is a movie on the Potemkin I have seen and am sure its a Soviet production. Its Battleship Potemkin 1925 from Sergei Eisenstein I have seen it on TCM |

I'm still a fan of Dr Zhivago … Phil |

I enjoyed "Reds" but it has very little military stuff, since it's more of a character drama. |

Battleship Potemkin is worth watching, but it's not an RCW movie. The mutiny happened in 1905. |

One of my favourite movies is White Sun of the Desert. It's set during the Russian Civil War but isn't about it – the same way as the Good, the Bad and the Ugly is set during the American Civil War. YouTube link |

A second for "The Red and the White". It can be a bit confusing as characters enter and exit the movie but I think it mirrors the chaos of the conflict. |

Is "The Red and the White" the one where a small group advances against the enemy? |
