I recommend you it. It's good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceans_(film)
John Lock is my hero! Actually both of them - the character of the show and the philosophe of the enlightenment, the founder of classical liberalism. He would probably have a heart attack if he knew what is called by "Liberalism" in modern America.
I studied English formaly more than I wish I would. First at school then at University. In totaly 9 years. Couldn't tell or understand a thing after that. And it is even more than that. Not only formal education didn't help me but on contrary for a number of reasons it made my further selfeducation more difficult than it could be without it.
So, yes, my English has come mainly from films but it was anything but simple process. First I downloaded subtitles for some English and American movies I remembered well and started to translate them with dictionary and then watch those movies in English. After some time I understood it was too long to do so and I began to download both Russian and English subtitles and read them together figuring out meaning of the words by the context in which they were used so I didn't need a dictionary anymore. And only after year or so of this kind of masturbation I had begun to learning English simply by watching English movies in original.
And thank you for a compliment but my level isn't very high. For instance I once met a guy from India on the train. I could not understand almoast a thing of what the hell he was talking about. I asked him to repeat for several times again and again same short phrases so I could finaly understand him. Very embarassing.
