10 Modern American Classics for Learning English with Movies
1. “The Social Network” (2010)
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield.
Story: Want to know the history behind the invention of Facebook? This story tells the story of the young Mark Zuckerberg, a geeky Harvard student, who wants to revolutionize the way we communicate with other people. The story shows how Zuckerberg accidentally finds fame and becomes a multi-millionaire – but there is a price.
Many of his old friends and people he’s connected with over the years want him to fail. Mark Zuckerberg shows us he’s got everything in terms of material things but very little in terms of friends. Mark Zuckerberg finds himself in court a number of times and the movie questions whether it was really Mark Zuckerberg or not who first created the world’s largest social network, Facebook.
Why it’s a great movie for learning English: This is an award winning movie written by Aaron Sorkin. He’s famous for his natural dialogue and funny lines, which makes this movie really enjoyable to watch and of course it’s easy to follow too. Also, almost everyone understands and knows Facebook and you will automatically be able to relate to the movie and not to mention, you’ll also be able to pick up a lot of great English vocabulary related to computers, technology and social networks.

They find themselves in so much trouble, it’s unsure whether they are going to make it back in time for the wedding or not.
Why it’s a great movie for learning English: First of all it’s hilarious (really funny) and it keeps us interested throughout the movie. Because it’s a comedy and we rely a lot on the visuals to understand, it makes it a lot easier to understand the dialogue between the characters.
All of the characters in “The Hangover” use everyday English, which makes this movie an awesome way of learning modern American slang which will help you fit into everyday life if you’re planning on moving to the United States. You’ll hear common phrases such as “stag party” (bachelor party) and “all-nighter” (staying up all night without sleep).

Why it’s a great movie for learning English: This is a very visual movie and what you miss in the dialogue, you’ll be able to be filled in by the visual action. While the actions are fast, the language is relatively easy to understand unlike other sci-fi and futuristic movies which use complex terms.
The accent is a clean North American one so you’ll have no problem understand what the characters say. The characters don’t speak too fast and it’s fairly easy to understand what’s going on.

如果你想学美音,可以试试《录取通知》和《超人高校》《奇迹灰姑娘》《舞出我人生》一类的美
国校园青春喜剧。这类电影里的台词都比较时尚,发音都比较准(你叫它没个性也行),而且娱乐
性很强。
如果你想学得轻松一点,不妨看看《功夫熊猫》《海底总动员》《冰河世纪》等动画片,这些电影
都是给孩子看的,发音准,语速相对慢,娱乐性更强。
动作片的话,我推荐尼古拉斯凯奇的 《勇闯夺命岛》《国家宝藏》《空中监狱》。 都很经典(入
过你能忍受BW的话),其实凯奇也有不少好看的文艺片比如《居家男人》
经典的话我觉得还是 《拯救大兵瑞恩》和《乱世佳人》比较好,就看你喜欢不喜欢类型了。
最后推荐一部我个人很喜欢的:《恋爱假期》,两个人英音,两个人美音,俊男美女,大牌演员。
不可救药的浪漫。。。
其实说这么多,最后还的靠你自己练,就好象一个手艺,你看的再多,自己不亲手做一下,是永远
不会的。电影看得多,不练,也是没用的。
