The use of Commercial Cinema in education has a long tradition, but using movies to teach medical students is a relatively recent application. This topic is emerging as a learning tool to retrieve many of the essential values of the medical profession. There are various experiences of the use movies during pre-graduate and post-graduate medical periods. Medical issues, but also social, historical and humanistic elements are valuable, useful aspects available in a number of movies. In particular, General Medicine as well as Psychiatry are two of the medical specialties that have more experience in this field. Medical topics considered include doctor-patient relationship, medical professionalism, pre-clinical and clinical research, bioethics, and others. The learning methodology is simple, and the final results obtained by many working science-health groups are very good. We conclude that critically viewing selected commercial movies academic and humanistic training of future physicians and health professionals improve.The use of Commercial Cinema in education has a long tradition, but using movies to teach medical students is a relatively recent application.

Summary
The history of cinema opens on December 28, 1895, when Louis and Auguste Lumière brothers made the first public projection of images in movement. Via individual work, public lecturing of results, and structured group discussion, with options to write and present a final essay, you can get medical, social, scientific and even axiological objectives that will help future doctors to become even better performers of their profession (Frenadillo Martínez et al, 2005) To fulfil this, it is necessary for the teaching team to identify an appropriate selection of movies, short films and documentaries, that enable them to achieve pre-established learning objectives (Baños et al.,2015) (Table 1) (Figures 1-4). Cinema has many characteristics that make it an ideal source to be used for outreach, awareness and education, something that today no one should put in doubt, because it combines art, entertainment and communication skills It is a product of mass consumption in our daily environment, and as such a means of ideal communication between undergraduate and postgraduate students, junior and senior medical professionals, and other health related colleagues, as well as patients and the general population. If what we are aiming for are promoting aspects related to health and disease, some films could help mentalizing, disseminating and training students of bio-health sciences, health related professionals, patients and the general public (García Sánchez et al, 2008; Chen et al, 2017)
