But how do you stop them watching the whole thing...?
Exactly. Especially if you have guys in your class and they want to watch the movie due to the action segments. But in action movies, usually there is more fighting than talking.

I find dramas the best. Movies with slow talking that have their own contained scenes. Sitcoms are also good such as Friends and Seinfeld. That way students can also appreciate the different humour avaialble in western society.
