This study investigates students' perceptions of American movies as a medium for acquiring American vocabulary. Conducted within the Department of English Language Education at UIN Ar-Raniry , the research employed a qualitative methodology. Data were collected through semi- structured interviews with ten students from the PBI program. The results indicate that the informants showed high enthusiasm in using American movies as a medium to assist in acquiring American English vocabulary. Additionally, they recommended the use of this medium based on several key aspects, such as engaging learning experiences, clear pronunciation, daily conversation content, and contextual vocabulary. However, there were some challenges faced, including misunderstandings in certain contexts, such as slang, jargon, and idiomatic expressions.
