My students really liked Race to Witch Mountain and you can find it at most Home Plus stores and even some Emarts for 10000 W.
Those who visit foreign nations, but associate with only there own countrymen, change their climate, but not their customs.  They see new meridians, but the same men; and with heads as empty as their pockets, return with traveled bodies, but with untraveled minds.

Lesson plan = press play on a DVD.

Don't you think even a bomb game would be preferable to this?

They generally like animations made by disney or dreamworks.  Also they love movies with lots of action. 

I find that comedies don't really translate well here.  My higher level classes like them but the lower levels think they are boring.

I've been here a year and a half and I've never shown a movie. It's right after the students finish their exams and there is that 2 week period of craziness before the summer break so I thought I'd treat myself!

I think the OP has earned a break, and doesn't have to feel guilty about not doing a bomb-game. For real.

I showed 'Journey to the center of the Earth' to my G1 & 2 kids before and they really liked it.

I would recommend Avatar highly, I showed it lat year and the kids love it. Also Kung-fu panda is really popular now since the second one just came out in theatres...

A little out of season, but for later use, my kids LOVE Elf... and you can get Korean subs for it.

Constructive criticism at its best. pfft...

Thanks for the ideas guys. I showed Incredibles and How to Train your Dragon...went down a storm :)...
With these I used some worksheets that I found on this site as well as a few of my own. The kids got quite involved :).

I heard some teachers played American TV series like Lost (with Korean subtitles) and received great feedback..maybe you can look into that?

Middle school girls love watching Princess diaries or Harry Potter. I haven''t had any luck finding a website having English movies with Korean subtitles though.
