Lingualnet: Movies and Video Clips

Learning English Through Movies! Sounds like a plan. On a website where movies goes from clips of "Lost in Translation" to amateur productions or even clips on home and garden, the learning experience can be quite broad.

The site has 8 categories: Drama, Animation, Cine-Poetry, Home Made, Documentary, Travel, Commercials, Home and Garden. And each clip has a script, so you can check if you don't understand, and you can toggle the subtitles on and off. Some videos also have a quiz you can take.

How about it?
