This paper determined students' interests on: 1) film selections, 2) group discussion and exams, and 3) continuous learning using western films. The results indicate that 1) they were likely to be more confident and expressive when stories have easy sequence of events that may help them organize opinions well for effective communication; 2) characterization spoke about their present situation, and that gave them enough knowledge about future's life; 3) they were likely to be more interested to join discussions and other types of classroom activities because film selections or topics have abundant cultural inputs to make them more logical in reasoning and decision-making; 4) they were likely to be more active due to the native or foreign speaker’s teaching techniques, accent, and diction that can better their learning and performance skills; 5) "thinking like a native speaker" technique could help them express their thoughts and feelings spontaneously and freely without cultural boundaries; 6) they were more motivated to learn English because grouping or pairing helped them compare and contrast the amount of their learning with other students' as basis for improvement; 7) when a teacher seemed not strict, but rather helpful, they were likely to be more focused on completing any classroom activities; 8) they were assertive to participate in discussion and activity because theme, plot, characterization, and conflict involved in the analysis attracts them to better understand other cultures and their own culture; and 9)they were more attentive when a teacher gave challenging questions. Oxford (2012) believes that "when allowed to learn in their favorite way, unpressured by learning environment or other factors, students often use strategies that directly reflect their preferred learning." Consequently, this paper will serve as basis for needs or situational analysis for establishing language teaching inputs to develop students’ amount of language learning by considering their attitude of openness to cultural understanding between them and their teachers by using western films in a big class size.
