As you will have seen, movies play a great part in learning and in this subject there is plenty of scope for inspiring movies which make a great learning point.

I find the great thing about movies is that they appeal to both sexes (unlike some of the sporting analogies and examples) and that they can produce a talking point about further aspects from the movie.

I have listed the more inspiring sources in my TiBiDi Movie List below and have included my own personal comments for you to read. I will add to this list using your comments and those of my family and friends as we continue to watch TV, Videos & DVDs.

Please feel free to peruse the list, and more importantly, buy the movie yourself and see what you think. If you want to add your own recommendations, please write to us via the Your TiBiDi section.

Where possible the movie titles link directly to Amazon.co.uk so that you can obtain the current competitive price.
