Best movies in former Yugoslavia - then and now

A list of movies that I, and I presume most of the ex-yu people coming from the same background, watched many times. We know famous quotes from those movies by heart. Films on this list are part of the pop culture in Serbia, but also in countries from Macedonia in the south to Slovenia up north. Domaći filmovi koje sam rado gledao, svaki bar tri puta! Takođe pokazuje koliko sam star: neka sam gledao kad sam imao 6 godina, a neke nedavno!
