I know it would be hard for students to understand a movie with many
colloquialisms, but that is why I am looking for something simpler. Moreover,
I wouldn't show them a video of poor quality. Critically acclaimed movies are
generally difficult, but I thought someone might know of a thriller, action
movie or even soap opera which is very simple. I show students cartoons, such
as Cheburashka, which we watch segment by segment, and they are quite pleased
to find that they understand so much. It is very good for their self-esteem.
However, I would like to find something that is geared toward an older
audience...

a Russian film (especially if the video isn't excellent quality) can be
hard even for non-native teachers, especially if there are many
colloquialisms and if characters speak with their backs turned to the
camera. When intermediate-level students watch a film and can't
understand a lot of it they can be very discouraged and even lose
confidence. So I wouldn't worry about the subtitles, but perhaps others
have more information than I.
