If you happen to be learning English and you’re wondering what movie you can watch to improve your speaking and listening, it’s Groundhog Day! In my view, that is hands down the best movie especially for English learners. Here’s a short dialogue from the movie, it says a lot about what the movie’s all about. Phil (Bill Murray, the man in the picture below) is the lead character, an arrogant and egocentric TV weatherman who, at some point, finds himself in a time loop, repeating the same day again and again. I don’t want to give away too much about the movie, otherwise, I’ll spoil it for you (As if you can’t Google it and find out 🙂 ).

Phil: What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?
Ralph: That about sums it up for me.
So why should you watch it?
Well, as Phil becomes trapped in time and space, and begins to experience the same events, you, as an audience, will find it easier to comprehend the language and decode it both grammatically and phonetically. Also, you will see that, due to the repetitive nature of the movie, the vocabulary will become easier to retain (remember).
