Good Movies For Training Purposes

Hi,
There are movies which is more powerful in the message but fail to impress the audience.
If your target audience do not have patience or interest whole effort will be waste in terms of outcome.
Still if you want to take chance pls go with movies like GOAL, Coach Carter, The greatest game ever played, Glory Road which will be easy for people to understand. For the people who are good in experience or knowledge or skilled in multiple tasks then you go for movies like 12 Angry men or even few scenes from Momento or last few scenes from Downfall.
You need to train them to get into the details of every scene so that they can present it later to the total crowd so that the session becomes more participative.
I also recomend you cull out scenes from the movies rather than presenting it completely.

Ruka huwa faisla is a poor copy of Hollywood masterpiece "Twelve Angry Men" *rring Henry Fonda. Better watch the Original. Another movie in the similar topic is "Roshomon"

hi friends...
very nice and useful thread...
I would also like to suggest all my fellow trainers to see "SEA BISCUIT". i think it should be seen by all trainers. A fantastic movie to be shown in all training programs including train the trainers...
This movie was an oscar nominee. Sea biscuit is about - what training can do to ordinary people. In this movie, how an ordinary horse is trained to become a racing horse ( that wins millions of dollars in races) and hos an ordinary guy is transformed into an ace jockey to win those races.
This movie teaches a lot to the trainees too,
1. how practice maketh a man perfect
2. perseverance
3. importance of relationship in business
4. faith and confidence in yourself
Please do watch this movie and post your feedback...

Dear Friends
Thank you very much all for sharing ur experience with the movies in trainings. I personally use couple of these movies for the same purpose, but surprisingly, no one has mantioned "CHAK DE! INDIA", whose impact is very strong. Another movie worth mentioning is " CRASH ". This movie captures the Human spirit, Behaviour, Prejudices and conflicts very beautifully and my experience of using this movie during training participants on Inter-personal relationships and cross cultural conditioning has been extremely good so far. Hope this would help you all too.
And Thank you Bill, for initiating such discussion and Thank you all for sharing your experience.
Keep Posting,
