The movie I really like is Aladdin. It’s a 2019 American musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney. Aladdin was coming out on May 24th, 2019 (Aladdin was released on May 24th, 2019). Aladdin was filmed in the USA. It is filled with really cool special effects. Besides, the score is completely incredible. When I watch Aladdin, I want to watch it with subtitles. When you watch it dubbed, it loses some of the magic. There’s a big twist at the end of the Aladdin, but I won’t spoil it for you. In the end, the good guys win and the bad guys lose. Thank you so much, Vanessa. I learned so much from you. Send tons of love to you.

[@jianzhu5804]

Before Sunrise, Sunset, Midnight is my favorite triology. It is a romantic drama. The acting and dialogue of the two main characters are incredible!

[@khanhhuyennguyen777]

"After" is my favorite romcom. It was released in 2019 and I'm looking forward to part 2 which will come out in 2020. The plot is simple but the characters' acting styles are natural and attractive. Moreover, the score is catchy, too. I love it!!

[@hanachan4300]

Have you ever seen Game of thrones, this is the TV show and has been a hit for a while, its core plot is the Kings and Queens trying to sit in the throne and at the end whoever manages to make it will get to rule over all the kingdoms. Anyways, it's extremely exciting and breath taking tv show but it's extremely for adults 18+, so it has to be away from children. Thank you Vanessa ❤️ for making so much afford to help us with English, I've learned so many things from your channel so far....

Hi, my favorite TV show is friends. It's a comedy one. It's plot is simple, enjoyable and from daily life. Every episode draw a big smile on my face.I watched all the seasons 3 times.

[@agnieszkaw.7191]

I'm sure everyone saw it !! My favorite film is The Shawshank Redemption about an injustice, but hope, strength and being human in every conditions. The unique bond that is between the main characters. Extraordinary friendshipe, desire to live. So special ! Btw I really like dramas...

[@hanmyn5937]

My favorite film recently is "Ho so trinh sat". It is a detective film. It was set in Hong Kong. It was a hit at 1994 and today still many people love it. It has star-studded cast. The plot is so interesting that it keeps my attention and i can easily follow it. But in my country, there is only dubbed version, and i hope one day i can find a website that upload it with subtitles so i can hear the real voice of the actors

[@laurabridgettebartolonfrai2310]

My favorite movie is called FRAGMENTO, I like the plot of this movie because it plays with your mind, it is suspenseful and you must be very observant to be able to analyze what happens!

[@annes.c.9625]

I love the lord of ring. The plot, character and score, everything is so fantastic for me. Especially the most impressive thing is the companionship between the characters when they have to struggle with something horrible which seems like completely impossible to break through. In the end, they eventually catch a victory overcoming all difficulties, which is quite touching. And personally, fantasy is my favorite genre since it is likely to stimulate my imagination. Besides the lord of the ring was directed by Tolkin and l am big fan of his way of making the unique universe full of fresh ideas. The movie was a hit as soon as it came out. It made me feel like l was connected to people that love this movie.

[@thumaihoai9893]

I madly love Mission Impossible 6, Fallout. It stars one of my favorite actors, Tom Cruise. The action scenes in this movie are incredible.

[@abuhuraira3685]

No movie appeals me more than the scenes of thrilling arguments between my Mom and Dad Yesterday my Mom said to my Dad Love me and I'll move move mountains to make you happy Hurt me and I'll drop those mountains on your head You know what I enjoyed that dialogue so much

[@wendycontreras7575]

English V. My favorite movie is EXTRAORDINARY, it is a very moving film since it talks about the importance of social acceptance not only for the different, but in general for each individual. Values ​​such as friendship, loyalty, honesty, respect and sincerity stand out to reflect that among the ordinary one can be extraordinary or vice versa, which generates a feeling of conformity.

[@diasbaikenov8327]

Lately I've been watching 1899 series! As the premise is not simple, so It's hard to follow. However the plot keeps your attention. This series takes place in a ship. The director of the "Dark" series directed this series! Before I decided to watch this series, I thought It's a flop but It is not. Since I haven't finished this series therefore, I couldn't spoil it to you unfortunately! 😉 Please if anyone is seeing my comment, please tell me my mistakes

English V. My favorite TV Show is Vikings, it's an historical action TV Show. Vikings takes place in Norway, UK and France, is filled with really cool special effects, you can learn some of history. Even though it was 6 seasons, I was on the edge of my seat, 'cause the premise is amazing and the plot keeps your attention and the actors are really handsome and masculine

Frozen is a type of children's movie but I love to watch it especially every winter. The main characters are so vivid and including even Olaf. It probably came out almost 5 years and was a hit from the beginning.

The plot really got my attention, althougt I didn't enjoy the final episode as much as I wanted, mybe I was expectiong for something else to happen, but no regrets, it was an awesome show!

Hi Vanessa, I'm Silvia and I've been following your channel for 9-10 months. I really like how you introduce and explain English to us so thank you for your help. That's the first time I leave a comment on a KZbin video ever. A star is born is one of the best movies of 2018. It's both a musical and a romantic drama because the plot involves both music and a difficult love story. The movie takes place in the US, the cast is brilliant and the score keeps your attention from the beginning of the film to its end. Almost at the end of the film there's a twist in the plot but I'm not going to spoil it. In Italy most of the international movies are dubbed. We actually have a great dubbing academy in Rome and for this reason movies are constantly dubbed. I saw the film both in Italian and in original language and I really enjoyed the experience of watching it in English.

[@wei5146]

We just use subtitle if the movie is speaking english , but the conversation is still the original voice,I love it.if the voice switched to the dubbed the feeling is gone and the story of the movie is not intergrated

[@lircbov6224]

Hi, Venessa . How are you? My faworite movie is "Anne with an E ". It is drama . I like it so much , because in this film there are a lot of good experiences for real life . In this film main character is an orphan girl and her name is Anne . Also there is a boy who loves Anne, also Anne loves him. The plot of the story is very good. The ending of the film is very nice. Thank you for your attention ! See you the next lessons ❤

[@majuanapozar3623]

I watched Gladiator the other day and it was one of the best movies I've ever watched! Although it was released like twenty years ago or so but I hadn't watched it until now. Anyway I cried as I watched it cause Gladiator went through a lot and he was a good guy who deserved it way better! To those who love movies about the Roman Empire era, I highly recommend it

[@VanUnhee]

You are my the most favorited English teacher on KZbin channel. I really love your accent and I’m trying to imitate yours.

[@roxygarcia8536]

Hey dear! I'm nineteen years old and my favorite type of movies are Drama and mistery, something similar to Titanic and Harry Potter

[@jiaoziZ]

I recommend a tv show called Friends and most of you might have heard it before because it was a hit the moment it came out. And it revolves around these six young adults and it is about their daily life and it is a comedy show, kind of this easy watch and just feel-good ones and it has 10 seasons. And I heard that it has been confirmed another new season which is really exciting!

[@user-ib2hx4lw1c]

The film "Boyhood" really appealed to me. It's one of the best drama films i've ever watched. This film is set in Texas and tells the story of a couple who has break up with two children. It stars Ellar Coltrane. You would think that the premise would be simple but if u watch it u will fall in love with the main character, Mason! I recomend this film to every one

[@Betisyou321]

Hello! Vanessa, I loved this video. the type of movies that I like are the romance ones. My favorite movie is "Under the Same Star" is a movie full of love and sadness. Like to make popcorn, soda and a couple of tissues. Through the life of a teenage girl, facing a terminal illness like cancer, the film teaches you that life is not easy but it is worth living.

[@AM-qw9tu]

[@gianellarubio8869]

Thank you for this lesson!!! In my country (Peru) movies are always dubbed but also subtitled. I personally don't like to watch movies dubbed because I think you can't really appreciate the acting of the actors/actresses and also, in their original idiom they sound much better, more natural; so, I always watch a movie or tv show with subtitles

[@dithirambos]

The type of movie I like the most is drama and suspense, and one of my favorites is Donnie Darko which was released in 2001. I like Donnie, the main character. I also like the plot, it is intelligent and complicates, it leaves the audience in suspense, without understanding what it is going on, it is a kind of movie that makes you to think hard. And finally the score is really beautiful!
