  1. I recomend to watch adventure film - John Carter. It is very exciting and breathtaking. You will be really impresed, because Walt Disney worked hard, but great. Also there are charismatic actors and moved plot. It is well worth film.

  2. I recommend you to watch a post apocalyptic adventure horror film Mad Max Road of Fury. Filmmaker George Miller gears up for another post-apocalyptic action adventure with Fury Road, the fourth outing in the Mad Max film series. Charlize Theron stars alongside Tom Hardy (Bronson), with Zoe Kravitz, Adelaide Clemens, and Rosie Huntington Whiteley heading up the supporting cast. The film is very interesting and also breathtaking. I think that this fim is the best in trilogy.

    1. What does this film teach us? As we are going to watch a film in the lesson at school, it should give us a lesson or make us think about something or answer some questions. I'm afraid this film is full of violence, isn't it?

  3. I recommend to watch "Hachi: A Dog's Tale". It's an ijncredible film. "Hachi: A Dog's Tale", directed by Lasse Hallstrom, is a fascinating and moving drama. It is set on the Rhode Island, USA. Th e film is about a relationship between a man and a dog. The film based on the true story. In Bedridge, Professor Parker Wilson finds a dog at the train station and takes it home with the intention of returning the animal to its owner. He finds that the dog is an Akita and it's name is Hachiko. However, nobody is trying to find the dog so his family decides to keep Hachi. All the actors are brilliant. They r teaching us how close animals and human can be to each other. It's a really well worth film

    2. I tnink that this film is very touching film. I'll be glad to see it again.

    3. Sorry, but I think that looking such a film for the second time will not be interesting, because we will be ready for the things which will happen. Thus, emotions will not be the same

      Delete
    4. This film is hard to watch at the lesson, because it’s very emotional & heartbreaking. And it will definitely cause our pupils burst into tears. To sit and work at other lessons will be impossible because of emotional storm in our souls. Nevertheless the film is worth seeing.
      P.S. Get ready with your napkins. (╯︵╰,)

    5. I've never watched this film just because I know that it's too sad for me. But I think that it's really worth watching.

    7. It's great touching film but not for school.It's too emotional and yes,it won't be such interesting to watch it second time.

    8. I'm afraid that not all of us will enjoy so moving film,for example,boys.

  4. Dear students, don't forget to comment on other students' ideas. We need to choose the film, not just suggest it.

  5. I recommend you to watch a biography film - The Theory of Everything. This film is melodramatic English film director by James Marsh. It’s a film about physicist Stephen Hawking, his life. It is based on the memoirs of Jane Hawking, his ex-wife. In this film there are a lot of good actors, who has won many awards. For example Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones. It's really a great movie.

  6. Slumdog Millionaire
    This film about a young uneducated guy Jamal Malik, 18-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is just one step away from winning the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?". During a break in the game he was arrested by police on suspicion of fraud.
    “Slumdog Millionaire” is a criminal melodrama. The main characters are Tanay Chheda,Madhur Mittal, Anil Kapoor, Tanvi Ganesh Lonkar, Ankur Vical.
    Directors of the film are Danny Boyle and Lavlin Tandan.
    I like this film, Because the plot is fantastic. The film makes us think about what can really happen in our lives.. And if you think that your life is complicated, so just look this film, and all your thoughts will run away because the life of people of our age and their life is 100000000 times worse than yours.
    !JUST THINK!

    4. I think this film is one of the best Oscar winners. However, I'm afraid we can't watch it in the lesson because of some violent and adult scenes. I recommend you to watch it at home.

    5. It is a magnificent film. It is about love and tell us that if you are poor man, you can be the richest. In my opinion we must to watch this film!

  7. As for me I would recommend to watch «Jurassic World». This is a sequel of the famous « Jurassic Park». The genre of this film is science fiction and the fees in the world are enormous. Adventure is very interesting to watch. And you really will have a lot of fun & relax during watching this film. I think it will be exciting to discuss special effects of the film, to see the prehistoric world, to watch unbelievable nature. It’s a light & relaxing film, but breathtaking. The plot of this film will be fascinating and intriguing for teenagers. I suspect that my classmates will adore the film.

    1. I thought, sequels are short films( about 10-20 minutes), aren't they? If they aren't, I guess, it's really good film to watch on a lesson. I haven't seen it yet, but really want to.

      Delete
    2. I'm not a keen on science fiction films, especially about dinosaurs. Is it a kind film?

      Delete
    3. A sequel is a narrative, documental, or other work of literature, film, theatre, television, music, or game that continues the story of some earlier work.

      Delete
    4. I've already watched this film and I can't say that it's really light and relaxing film,there r a lot of violent and biting moments which definitely aren't relaxing!
      By the way,the language in this film is a little bit hard for understanding.

      Delete
    5. I watched this film recently and it didn't inspired me.

  8. In my opinion, the film "Hitch" would be a perfect one for the end of the term. This comedy is about a famous "date doctor" Alex Hitch who helps his clients to get the girl of their dreams. While working with his next client, Hitch falls in love with a journalist and starts understanding that love is more than just a profession. The main role is played by Will Smith - one of the greatest comedians ever! This film is very easy to understand and very funny to watch. Furthermore, it teaches us to take our life less serious. We're going to have a lot of fun watching "Hitch" :)

    2. I haven't seen this film, but I like Will Smith. I just have one question: is this film appropriate for watching at school? I mean adult scenes and language.

    3. Oh yeah,Dasha,that's a great idea,this film is really gripping and cheerful!
      Actually,Will Smith there is soooo charismatic and full of positive :)

  9. Fahrenheit 451 is a British science fiction film directed by François Truffaut. It's based on the novel of the same name by Ray Bradbury (by the way, it's one of my favorite books). This book is a dystopia (translated as "not-good place"). This film is not really exciting or action packed, but I was moved by the amazing plot and the realisting acting.
    In the future firemen are not puting out fires, but start them. They burn books, because reading books is not allowed by government. Books are silly, they make people feel unhappily. Guy Montag is one of these firemen. He likes his job very much, but one day he decided to open the book. He wondered why do some people risk their life for reading? What do people think, that books are so dangerous?..
    Actually, I don't really think this film is OK for watching in the end of the term, but I don't know a lot of films, so I had to write about something, just to do my homework.

    1. Don't worry, Kate. This film is really great. I think that we should learn something new every day, and "Fahrenheit 451" is perfect for it.

      Delete
    2. know the film is awesome, but I don't think we should watch it in the lesson, because in the end of a term we all want to relax and films should help us with it. Some adventure film or comedy would be much better. For example film you recommended before.
      By the way, have you read the book? If you haven't I highly recommend you to read. Book is even better then the film. And if you have, maybe you can recommend me another dystopia. I think, books of this genre are perfect for learning new things.

      Delete
    3. Perhaps, this film will make your classmates appreciate books and read more? What do you think?

      Delete
    4. Oh, "science fiction", only this words make me feel depressed, I think that it's not an uplifting film for the end of a term

    5. Oh,I now this book,it's really great.So i completely FOR watching this film.

  10. Recently, I looked interesting, touching and very popular romantic film "Titanic".
    The plot of the film is based on a true story. The key actors are very famous American players: Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio...
    The film tells the story of a rich girl, who fell in love to poor artist. It is a very moving film, because at the end of the film a romantic story ends, the death of her lover.
    In my opinion, everyone person must see Titanic, because this story makes us think about the life of loved ones and appreciated them more, this film makes us kinder. This film is very impressive! I recommend everyone to see Titanic!

  11. I recommed to watch the adventure film "Around the World in 80 Days". This film is very interesting and breathtaking. Director by Frank Coraci. It is about that 3 people who travelled around the world in 80 days, starting and ending in London. Jackie Chan, Steve Coogan, Cécile de France and Jim Broadbent are in the title roles. I enjoy Jackie Chan in this film. He is a Hong Kong actor, martial artist, film director, producer, stuntman, and singer. And he is my favourite actor. The film is quite moving and it is beautifully fimed.

  12. I recommend to watch a film «Eight below». This touching film was directed by Frank Marshall and was set in Canada. The plot: an expedition wants to find a meteorite, but one of explorers has broken his leg and they evacuated. Explorers wanted to pick up dog a bit later, but snow started and 8 dogs left at the snow desert for about 6 months. Actors-people are charismatic but actors-dogs are excellent. «Eight below» isn't based on real story but it's so moving and lifelike that I've cried .I don't know is it good for watching at the end of the term but it's gripping film about love between peoples and animals.

    lives in orphanage and secretly stores the cross reminding to her of a favourite family.
    But one girl told that the house is full of secrets and ghosts and she suggests to look to the storeroom to see one of them. I think it is worth watching, breathtaking, colorful and exiting film and I recommend you to watch.

This is a new movie and also you can see it on any movie website with high resolution Main characters in this movie are “Jake Gillenhaal” in the movie he plays “Billy Hope” who is world boxing champion. Then “Rachel Mcadams” in the movie she is the wife of Billy Hope. Also there you can see famous raper “Fifty Cent” in film he is Billy Hope’s manager. The plot of this movie is very good. Hard work Billy won the title of world champion.On is on top of his sports career, he has money, fame and recognition .All that he owes to his wife, Maureen, who always and in all supported it. But one day Maureen dies Billy's life begins to crumble like a house of cards. Soon, with the scandalous behavior of Billy in the ring, he will be suspended for a year, he goes from the manager and his friend Jordan, and after all this, he is deprived of custody of her daughter back. To get her daughter back he needs to get back in big sport, and fight with new world champion in 12 rounds. He won that fight and got his money and daughter back. There is the final of the movie.
