IMDb's going by release date; we mostly go by copyright/production date. Much more concrete, considering films get released at different times in different countries.
Can't account for TSP; I don't look at that site.

Yeah that's kind of strange that they're off by so much. I've known them to be pretty accurate. Perhaps they go by release date in country of origin or something, maybe it was delayed there. I don't know the story.

I am having Andrei Rublev waiting to watch for almost 3 weeks now. I am just not getting 3.5 hours of exhaustion-free time it is also blocking my blockbuster queue badly.

I woke early one Saturday and watched it. It's hard to find the time, but I think "Andrei Rublev" is more worth it than any of his other films.

I finally watched it (with lots of breaks in between). Though it drags at some places, overall, well worth the time spent.

Among his movies I have seen, I think Andrei Rublev is thematically the grandest. Stalker is way too inaccessible for me. Nothing beats Zerkalo in terms of the emotions and visual beauty. Zerkalo Andrei Rublev Stalker Solyaris The Killers I have Nostalghia ready to watch.

Stalker is way too inaccessible for me. How come? Gay? Did not understand at all. Do you think a re-watch might help? Or do I need to know the background beforehand? For example, what was the thing about bandage+stone. I know there is something that I am missing totally.

I know there is something that I am missing totally. Somebody correct me if I'm way off, but the bandage-stone stuff was to help the stalker navigate his way through the Zone as the Zone has the ability to change its landscape. One of the subtle indications is the ground sinking in one of the shots in which one of the characters slowly drops in the shot. I assume the bandage-thing (whatever it is) helps the stalker to track it in the air and find it among the grass and whatnot wherever it lands. Prior to you stating why you found it inaccessible, I was going to say that I think Stalker is his most accessible film as it has characters on a classical "goal"/"mission" plot. Solaris is that, too, but it lacks the excitement/thrill/suspense of the Stalker plot. That is less the case when it comes to his other features.

His first two seem like his most grounded and accessible to me.
Haven't watched a Tarkovsky joint in years though.
On the bandage-stone thing, I agree, the Zone is supposed to be booby-trapped, and that stone is intended to test the area, and the bandage is for retrieving the stone. They do the same thing with their boots in Cube.

Can't recall exactly what about it that doesn't make me put it right there with Stalker. It's more of a gut-feeling, really, that makes me say so. Forgot about that. That, too.

I think it's one of AT's masterpieces.

I'm seeing Mirror at the cinema in two weeks. The same night, I'm also catching a triple bill of La jetée, (nostalgia) and A Walk Through H.
Should be a good night.
