Wow! That's a great site...
One problem I find with videos is that movies tend to be 90-120 minutes in length, and I teach 60 minute classes. That might not be such a problem, but we have only one TV and one DVD/VHS machine for 18 teachers... It makes booking the machine problematic, especailly if you have a video that needs to be shown over two or three classes.
Some videos I've found work well are Simpsons or Friends. The episodes are about 22-23 minutes in length, so I can show a couple of episodes in one class and still have time for some discussion or activity. |

| Friends is fun (have a few episodes), but it is difficult for most students to follow the dialogues (I have a lot of low levels). I would love to show the Simpsones, but worry that most of it would be way over their heads. |
