Hey,
I'm new here - was just directed here and hoped for some answers to my question =)

I've been learning Russian almost 4 Semesters now, and would like to watch some movies in Russian. I've watched "Возвращение" and "Кукушка", which I understood quite well. At least I didn't have much trouble understanding the plot line, although I did not understand every word. Can anyone recommend Russian movies similar to this, with simple dialog?

I am a native English Speaker and find that movies such as "Defiance" have simple Russian dialogue, albeit only a few lines and there are subtitles that you can't remove. As an intermediate student (I don't know what "fourth semester" really means so far as your level is concerned) I have enjoyed "Absurdistan" which is available through Netflix. I also really enjoyed "12" <<Двенадцать>>; Irony of Fate (or, Enjoy your bath) <<Ирония судбы>> and it's continuation. The Dialogue is a bit advanced, but it isn't hard to follow and if you watch it more than once, every time you watch it again you'll pick up new things. I reccommend watching Russian Movies WITHOUT subtitles the first time unless you have absolutely no understanding.
Also, try <<Дом дураков>>.
Hope this helps. The hardest part for me has always been getting my hands on these movies, but Netflix has a surprising amount of Russian language films. If you can find some, the BEST movies for understanding are Disney movies that have been translated. I have Tarzan and the Lion King and they are FANTASTIC. Even the songs are in Russian.
