There are a lot of movies. I would suggest the Disney movies (Aladdin, Mulan, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, etc) as they use simple language and should be easy to understand. They also have love and romance in them. As you get better at speaking or understanding you can try romantic comedy films such as Notting Hill, Love Actually and Bridget Jones' Diary. Good luck =)

I like historical movies because they encourage me to research and familiarize my self with a particular era in history.

That is a very good question that I don't have an answer for. I suggest watching as many movies as possible from the US, Australia, and Europe. Watch without subtitles, then watch with subtitles, then watch again without subtitles. Keep note of language your not sure of and ask the wonderful teachers on italki. Blake
