I find it easier to learn so many English vocabulary and expressions and usage by watching movies. If you're a non-native English speaker, you probably noticed some of them that help you learn.
I think some movies have good (Expressions, usage, etc.) . I think some of the dialogue is quite intense. Great for English listening skill training if you watch it without subtitles.
Exercises for vocabulary building, listening, reading, grammar, conversation, and American culture. A challenging and enjoyable way to learn English.
Nina, It's depend on your level in the language which you're learning.
Thank you Bruce a lot of useful links
I think classic movies are useful than modern

These movies and the songs in them are great for discussions with a language partner.
Yes, I think you are right Emir. Many of the lyrics to songs in older movie musicals
can be found by doing a websearch... lyrics + "Name of Song"
Great Movie Musicals make for great Lesson Materials for learning English

For me, it's more important to listen! personlly i used to watch the movie in french in order to understand the story. then, I watch it in english version with subtitles . finally , I remove the subtitles. I don't know if it is a good way for you! what do you think?
