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?

As a native Russian speaker, I second the suggestion of cartoons. The dialogues are pretty simple (ranging from just a few words to normal active interaction) and aren't complicated by the context, as it happens in movies, especially in those comedies mentioned above. Some of them are lined with quotes and jokes that a foreign person may or may not get, and all include allusions and contextual references to things specific for USSR, some of which are hard to comprehend without explanation and historical reference. Hell, some are rather hard even for a young Russian-speaking person, for lacking of relevant knowledge and experience.
You can also go for movie interpretations of internationally known books, where you would know the plot and the context of dialogues.
