Introduction 1.1 Research Background The English language is the language of international communication and it is used as a second language in Malaysia. In accordance with the trends of globalization, the knowledge and the practice of the English language becomes more crucial for us to survive in a nation of rich diversities. Therefore, Malaysian students should be well trained and equipped with a strong foundation in English. This is to ensure better student marketability and higher competence in the English language. Since English is a second language in Malaysia, it is extensively used in primary up to the tertiary level in our education system. English language is also widely used in numerous professions such as medical, legal, engineering and business. Thus, Malaysian students need to be proficient in the English language so that they will be able to use English effectively for academic purposes and also in professional settings in the future. As a conclusion, it is important that our Malaysian students master the use of English, as it helps students to excel in terms of academic and also prepares them for the competitive job market. In order to compete with others in the professional setting, students will not only need good academic results, but also the ability to communicate in the English language. Those who are proficient in the language will very much likely be chosen as they meet the demands of globalization (Hagener, Malte, & Töteberg, Michael, 2002) . Films are a type of visual entertainment and therefore, films are usually considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating or indoctrinating citizens.
