Teaching listening is one of the most important and difficult skills for any foreign language teacher because there are not any rules as in grammar teaching. This study aimed to show to what extent students enhance listening comprehension by movies with and without subtitles and what their attitudes are towards this teaching tool. By collecting the results of English language private school in Novi Sad in 2013, the study showed that the students needed more time to learn and more advice. Clearly, using movies proved to be an effective way for students to improve their listening ability. Several of them enhanced listening skills and gained more than vocabulary, understood more foreign culture, felt relaxed and had fun while learning in class.
