Movies can be a very good tool but first you need to be sure what skills you intend to teach through them.
Hollywood movies in particular can be used to teach English communication, leadership, interpersonal skills, body language but the starting point has to be a clarity of the objectives of the training.

Dear Chetna,

I am no trainer or not someone who's highly experienced, but I have some inputs. Pls go through, apply your own judgement and choose as per your suitability.

1. Best sport movies can be a source of good learning experience. It shows many values which I don't explicitly explain. Some obvious examples are Million Dollar Baby, Moneyball, Rush (released this year), Rocky, Ali, The Karate Kid (old one) and so on. List is NOT exhaustive. These are my favorites. Pls make sure that you choose only BEST spots movies.

2. Any good movie on relationships- not just romantic but paternal, family and so on. Again, some examples are Kramer Vs Kramer, American beauty, Transamerica, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Finding Nemo, Monsoon Wedding, Before Sunrise, The Rabbit Hole. it can be a loooong list.

3. A good movie of ordinary people going beyond tremendous odds, movie that shows human resilience and so on. Examples are Sophie's choice, Million Dollar Baby (again), 127 Hrs, Erin Brokovich, Philadelphia

As you can see there can be so many genres and sub genres to choose from. This is not a well researched list. I just put some names that instantly came to my mind, just to get you started. Of course, even our own Hindi movies can be a good source of learning. Some of them are really fantastic.

Hi
You could also use Groundhog Day, 12 Angry Men, Remember the Titans, Babe.
Again, you would need to make a long list of your needs - exposure areas that you want to address through your sessions. Then you would need to watch each movie and identify a movie that addresses most of your needs before choosing a movie.
You may find the listing in this site useful. List of Blockbuster Movies for TEAM Building | Gregg Gregory | Sales Gravy Articles - Sales Gravy Articles
Another suggestion - While movies are good as a learning tool, outbound learning is more effective. The participants have their own stories and experiences to take back. Of course, OBL is more expensive than a movie.
Do let us know more details.
Cheers!
All the best.

Dear Ms. Chetna,

The movies that I would recommend are

Tom Hanks "Caste Away" (Survival of the Mentally Fittest) and "Terminal" (How to be Focussed) Forrest Gump : Inspirational Message: Life is like a box of chocolates…you never know what you’re gonna get.

Rudy: Inspirational Message: Determination and persistence is more important than talent.

Seabiscuit : Inspirational Message: Everyone has a champion within. Men of Honor : Inspirational Message: Be the best and don’t ever quit.

The Shawshank Redemption: Inspirational Message: Get busy living or get busy dying.

Remember the Titans: Inspirational Message: Respect, trust and value people by who they are and where they come from.

Tucker: The Man and His Dream : Inspirational Message: You can take away my car but nobody could take away my dream.

John Voight's : "The Champ" : The Struggle of a man to keep his son.

Will Smith's The Pursuit of Happiness: A struggling salesman takes custody of his son as he's poised to begin a life-changing professional endeavor.

Warm regards,

TSK. Raman
