i'm an english teacher for adult, they have limited experience of listening and vocabulary.
i also want to teach them a little bit of 'life', so i wonder is there any good movies that teach them 'something', a movie with simple english so it doesn't confuse them...
thanks before...

Your English is TERRIBLE! I feel very bad for your students. I think you should stop teaching immediately and enroll in more English classes so that you can do a good job teaching. Right now, you should be embarassed.
"i'm an english teacher for adult, they have limited experience of listening and vocabulary." - Two mistakes.
"i also want to teach them a little bit of 'life', so i wonder is there any good movies that teach them 'something', a movie with simple english so it doesn't confuse them..." - Three mistakes.
YOU SHOULD NOT BE TEACHING ENGLISH.

Better Off Dead is a great, funny movie about the life of a teenager stuggling with high school. It is one my all time favorites and should be great for English language learners.

"manners, good morals"
My aren't we the superior ones! You are going toteach adults who have survived without all the advantages you have about"life?"
Why don't you get off your high horse and try listening to your students instead of patronizing them? You'll find they have a lot more to teach you than you are everl likely to be able toteach them, given your attitude--starting with how to treat othe people as human beings.

Well, this won't teach them a bit of "life" but the Muzzy movies are designed to introduce basic language.

Could you be more specific on what you mean by "life"? I want to help but that is such a broad subject to pick from.
