Watching English movies with the subtitles on is a nice way to develop the vocabulary, understanding how a word can be used differently in different situations, helps to know the proper pronunciation of certain words, etc. Try watching old movies. The use of words in old movies are at its peak. You can also watch Sherlock Holmes movies. Not only will you find it interesting to watch, but also learn good English since the movies are set in an old English era. Also the movies are easily available. Watching movies to learn is good, but nothing beats the method of actually speaking the language with other people. You'll commit some mistakes in the early stages during a conversation, but eventually you'll realize your mistakes and your brain will rectify them automatically each day. Also while communicating you may fall short of words to express yourself, but as you continue to communicate you'll gradually get a hang of what words to use. This too will be automatic. So if you want to be fluent, not just knowing the language, then there is no alternative to communication. Good day!

I am same like you. I am not native English Speaker. But I like your idea to learn English from Movie. I always watch action movie that I like and never use subtitles. I think you can do my strategy like that, you can activate subtitles if you really not understand what they speaking at that movie. I believe you can reach your good level in you English

Watching movies is one of the best way to learn how to speak english. You can also try to turn on the subtitles to understand the words in case they spoke really slang.. But, I guess the best way to learn to speak english is to communicate with english speaking people... It would be a great help too to boost your confidence in speaking.

watching movie and reading books find something you would like to watch listen carefully and focus one things is good if you have dictionary also so when theres a word that you cant understand while watching mark it then look at the meaning after you finished watching.
