Movie Rights and Recommendations

Following is a Corporate Programming Guide put out by the Motion Picture Licensing Corporation’s (MPLC). They are an excellent one-stop resource to obtain rights to legally play movies in training rooms.

MovieClips.com

The listing includes the training topic, movie title, and studio. If these aren’t just right, or if you want to preview some clips before you explore rights, MovieClips.com is a good resource. I can’t promise they’ll have all the clips you want, but it’s a good starting point.
