while navigating through various posts, i came across this one.
books-to-read-improve-verbal-score-and-enjoy-a-good-read-76079-160.html?kudos=1
an excellent post by BB.
this post is motivated form above one.
i have gone through each and every post of this thread. i thought its great that we can improve our Verbal score by reading and comprehending books, movies are not that bad.
movies can also help to improve Verbal score to a great deal ( my experience) and i think most of you will agree with me.
so, i thought why don't list down some Good Movies with Good commend over language and grammar. it will entertain us and will improve our score simultaneously.
i am not suggesting to watch movie everyday and keep your study material aside.
but i am sure you can watch a good movie during your holiday or while taking a break from your heavy and rigorous schedule of preparation.
so, here is the list :
1. The Godfather (1972)
2. 12 Angry Man (1954 & 1997 better to watch 1997)
3. Thank you for Smoking
4. Lords Of Rings series
5. No country for Old Man
6. Watch Man
7. The Dark Knight
8. Prestige
sorry friends, i don't remember name of movies which to be added in this list.
will keep posting as soon as i realize that its worthy.
any suggestion is welcome and you can post your best movie that had really helped you to improve Verbal.
request you to please don't post name of any movie just because you like this movie.it will only kill time (which is hard to get from a busy schedule).
pl post only if you think its worthy of making into list.

Thanks for making the post - great idea.
I guess it would have to be movies that rely more on the plot/dialogues/conversations than on the action (probably should add Mission Impossible here).
What about The Usual Suspects - I am not sure if it has proper grammar but plenty of dialogue there. You want to target low budget movies with little action/scenery. I rarely watch movies with the purpose of learning so have not paid attention as much but will from now on and will add once I see something worthy.

thanks for your support BB.
unlike you i am addicted to movie and watch at least 4-5 movies in a week.
i watch lots of crap and useless movie although entertaining.
but if we look from perspective to improve Verbal, we really need good movies.
dialogues/Conversation must be grammatically correct and of some good standard except action and plot.
Mission Impossible has very good dialogues. you wanted to watch it or not, its you to decide. anyway, MI is good movie.
PS: one should keep in mind that you need to enjoy also while preparing.

) with 1.5 days of preparation is because , I had been watching these series' for quite some time. One of my friend got 118/120 in TOEFL , and that is because he watched more documentaries than movies.
