    There doesn't seem to be a lot of discussion happening here, I thought I might offer some suggestions for TV shows and movies I've seen recently that impressed me. For TV shows, has anyone seen:

    Game of Thrones (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944947/)

    <address><em></em> <em></em>The Walking Dead (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1520211/)</address>

    Person of Interest (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1839578/)

     

    And for movies, has anyone seen:

    True Grit (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1403865/ - this was really hard to understand at times because of the accents even if you do speak English!)

    Contagion (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1598778/)

    The Guard (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1540133/ - also a bit difficult because of accents)

     

    These TV shows and movies are all quite entertaining.

    In the movie 'Heist', Gene Hackman has a gun pointed at Danny DeVito and is about to shoot. DeVito says 'Don't you want to hear my famous last words?'

    Hackman says 'You just said them" and shoots him.

    I can't believe I've come across someone who has actually seen 'Noises Off'. I wouldn't say it's my favourite comedy, but it's certainly an extremely entertaining and under-rated film. You have good taste!

    I had a quick look for some subtitles, but the Addams Family cartoon is getting a little bit old and is not so popular nowadays. I found only one episode has subtitles, available here:

    http://www.subtitleseeker.com/Download-tv-376921/The+Addams+Family+S02E01+HDTV+XviD-Sub

    The reviews for the quality of the subtitle are a bit low, so be prepared!

     

    If you like unusual dialogue, try watching the series 'Invader Zim".

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235923/

     

    This has a lot of very original dialogue, and subtitles should be easier to find.

    "Complain of" is used to describe experiencing pain or discomfort in our bodies, for example, He is complaining of chest pain, She complained of an ear infection.

    Try watching English language movies with English subtitles. Sometimes the grammar may be incorrect because of slang or informal speech, but it's a very good way to practise reading and listening, and to have access to many conversations. It's also a little more relaxed than studying. Make notes of any dialogue you don't understand and check the meaning after.
