Greetings from Hanoi!
I wonder if anybody has successfully used movies to support their learning facilitation process?
I am keen to learn about other facilitator's experiences with using movies.
Here's a few examples:
1. I used to use "Dead Poet's Society" as a bit of a feel good flick on a week long residential Train the Trainer in the early 90's.
2. Trying to explain "action learning" and "double loop learning" to Masters level students I recommended they watchBill Murray in " Groundhog Day".
Any other ideas or recommended processes based around movies?
I also found an interesting list at

Hey Bill,
Nice post man. It is really a good link.
I have some suggestion for team work again.
The Oregon Trial is one such movie great for team work subject
Home Alone - Name calling, Labelling, Children emotions, Responsibilities, etc
Toy Story - Again a great movie for imparting effective learning on impact for negative behaviour, hatred, bias/prejudice, etc
Rainman is also a very good movie for learning customer service (a clip from the movie that I used), Respecting challenged behaviour, etc
Life is Beautiful - Another great classic for understanding many aspects of life. Very appropriate for children learning stuff

to add to the list
1. munnabhai mbbs: culture development and feel good factor. the difference a touch of relations can make
2. gladiator: a tale of strong determination and courage to overcome the greatest enemy and strong will power.
3. IQBAL: a tale of handicap kid making it big through strong will power and continuous hardwork and doesn't allow anything else to stray his vision (one of my all time favorites)
4. Rocky series : a good motivation series where a man stands out against all the odds the defend his title and win it
5. lagaan for effective teamwork and dedicated leadership and also for effective use of the limited resources
6. Men IN Black: i m not jokin guys for the kinda of professionalism shown in it.
7. XXX: remember the recruitment drive shown in the movie

hi Bill,
We have used not only movies but also documentories. Most of the animal documentaries make excellent training material to explain managment concepts and make it interesting too.
Movies used by us are 'Black", "Rang De Basanthi", "Corporate", Also some Bollywood songs like, the song of 7wonders where Aishwarya is picturised with her onscreen beau. ( Cant remember the title of the movie).
What is important is to bring the attention of the audience from obvious to hidden meanings and concepts.
Hope this was useful.

Hey elum,
I don't have the clip with me since i use the video cd during the training program. I would suggest you to see the movie once and there it is a clip while tom cruise speaks on the phone and also tries to communicate with her girl friend at the same time, where he messes up. I use this to convey internal and external factors affecting communication.. etc.

Hi, all!
I am very interested in using film clips for my training.
Have never done this before, so could you please guide me where I can obtain such clips?
Much obliged.
