There are several movies I like, but the one I like most is "A.I." ("Artificial Intelligence") 2001 by Steven Spielberg. Apart from my love to sci-fi, for me this movie is about child's unconditinal love to mother and his need to be loved. This movie makes me cry everytime I see it.

1. BBC podcasts (My most favourite. There are tons, can be found on official site).
2. The Guardian Audio ( http://www.theguardian.com/audio )
3. Historyextra / BBC History Magazine ( http://www.historyextra.com/podcasts )
4. Breaking News English ( http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com ) - with exercises, PDF activities and worksheets.

totally agree with Bilal about old radio programs from the 1940's and 1950's. If you want to try some there are some programms on archive.org.
For example: It's Higgins, Sir! https://archive.org/details/ItsHigginsSir
Horatio Hornblower https://archive.org/details/Horatio_Hornblower
Sherlock Holmes https://archive.org/details/OTR_Sherlock_Holmes_smurfmeat

You can listen to the audiobook without concentration while doing some domestic chores just to train your listening, and later do it again concenrating on picking up and writing down unknown words and phrases.
I really liked "Harry Potter" series narrated by Jim Dale - I think he's done tremendous work and created different character voces only by himself. I really love his version of the book, but there is also another one by Stephen Fry. I didn't have chance to listen to it yet.
I also like "Robin Hood" series narrated by Richard Armitage (British actor). I love British English :-).
Here are some more favourites: Agatha Christie's audiobooks narrated by Hugh Fraser, also British actor who played Captain Hastings in "Poirot" TV series; "The Lord of the rings", "Hobbit", "Bridget Jones Diary" ....
I like BBC radio adaptations (radioshows) of Agatha Christie and Conan Doyles' "Sherlock Holmes" as well.

He is a wildlife photographer. Here is the link to his works - http://500px.com/nsz. Amazing. He has a talent to capture unique moments in animal's life. It is difficult to choose favourites, but I just love the photos of bears.
