Only seen Solyaris, but I love it. Tarkovsky rules. I'd like to see Mirror and Stalker

Sadly, I haven't seen anything but Stalker. I was a bit overdosed by the solid architecture of that movie. I'm trying to catch with his other works, but I'm into a Fellini phase right now, being my fav director, I'm reaching for the films that I haven't seen yet. There is too much of everything, and too little life.

I voted for Solaris, though I like Andrey Rublyov almost equally.

Can't vote as I've only seen Solaris which, coincidently enough, I was just discussing with a friend.  It's an excellent film though.

Another GREAT director of all-time... The first time that I saw a Tarkovski movie I was beaten by his powerful images and their unique talent to use the camera... Really amazing... Well, my vote goes for Andrei Rublyov one of the greatest movies of all-time even when I really love all their movies...

BTW recently I bought Sacrifice on DVD... Awsome movie...

Ivanovo detstvo is deeply touching, and Stalker - I could not get enough of this movie at one stage - sheer brilliance.
 
I mean, we are talking works of Genius here, how can one choose.
 
 
great point.
i'll vote for the film that has had the deepest personal impact on me and at the same time left me with the impression it was at his greatest level of achievement regarding the art of filmmaking - RUBLYOV. but this is just to justify a purely personal option, not to propose a measuring system. indeed, genius is irreducible.

Excellent poll, andu!Thumbs Up
 
He is one of my favourite film directors too. Also, although I'm not sure he was a cameraman physically, himself, he definitely had an influence on how the pictures in his films look, and this is one of the most important components of his greatness, in my opinion. For those familiar, just remember the river flow at the beginning of Solaris, or the long motorway in the same film, or the appearance of the black dog in Stalker...
 
As much as I like Andrey Rublyov and Stalker, I have to give my vote for Solaris, which, after about ten times, still doesn't leave me indifferent to it!!!

Tarkovsky is probably my all-time favourite film director and I was glad to find that the PA has many fans of his, so i made this for a little elucidation. Appreciation post are also welcome.
