Subtitling or captioning the dialogues of English movies can be very helpful to EFL learners in the Arab world. The present study reviews the importance of subtitling for language learning in general and listening comprehension in particular. A comparison is made between different levels of listening comprehension and different genres of English literary movies; classic, modern literary and contemporary. The sample consists of 100 randomly chosen third year English Majors of the faculty of Education. Students were divided into a control and an experimental groups. Results of the study showed a significant difference between the performance of the experimental group students' and those of the control group in the listening comprehension test. Appended are: (1) the listening comprehension test and answer sheet; (2) script for the selected scenes; and (3) screen shots from each scene. (Contains 5 tables, 2 footnotes, and 6 resources.)
