Margarita's actors speaking Russian list

[Morgan-Cheshire, Sadie]

Dear Seelangers

I don't know whether this has already been mentioned, but there are some
great attempts at Russian in the James Bond films. In particular, I'm
thinking of the exchange between Denise Richards and Pierce Brosnan in 'The
World is Not Enough', which goes something like this (with my own
transliteration for maximum effect)...

Denise: Tee ochin harasho govoreesh po rooski.
Pierce: Spasibo. Yah oochilsyah v Oxforde.

Priceless!
