From Russia with Love

This link’s been making the rounds, but if you haven’t seen it, it really is quite great! Someone has created a series of illustrations depicting scenes from popular movies, drawn to look like Russian folk art. Can you figure out all the movies? Some of them certainly have me stumped. Also, if anyone can identify where these come from, and who the artist is, that would be great!

UPDATE:
Mikhail tells us that the creator is Andrey Kuznetsov!

    I’m lost on the aligator, but it looks cool. My first thought on the one with the guy selling needles and the three guys walking away was Weekend at Bernies. That’s probably wrong, but they were all pretty cool.

    The authors name is Andrey Kuznetsov (you can read his personal blog on akuaku.livejournal.com) and he is currently working for a Pilot Film Studio (http://www.pilot-film.com/) in Russia.

    The reason why you cant recognize some of the movies is because they are, in fact, Russian movies and cartoons. For example, a creature pictured on the first image is a main character of a Russian cartoon “cheburashka”.
