This may depend on what kind of films you like.But I think It's better for you to see some cartoons,because It is easier for you to follow the speaker compared with other movies.Besiders I have seen many films,I would like to give you some advice about which film is better if you tell me what kind of films you like.Also,if you want to discuss the films with me and improve our English together ,you can contact me.This is my contact:<email address removed by mod.
