I found this website the other day. There is some good stuff on there.

You may be able to modify some of them for the films you are using.
Here is a website just for using movies to teach ESL (English as a Second Language)

Good luck!

PPS- I highly highly highly recommend using the WALLACE AND GROMIT animated 30-minute shorts with your students. I like to use “The Wrong Trousers” because it shows very well how plot is organized, and it is based on an Alfred Hitchcock movie, so it is basically a film noir movie!
And, everyone of all ages love it. There is some dialogue, but it is claymation, so the actions are pretty understandable. (Gromit is a dog, and he doesn’t speak at all. Just facial expressions.)
PPS- If you have something specific you want to do with the students, let me know. Like if you are trying to teach camera angles, or storyboards, etc. I used to teach a high school film class.
