Commercial movies are increasingly used as a teaching method in many college disciplines. In medicine they are an important resource to teach some aspects of medicine that will gain a considerable benefit of being illustrated using the cinematographic language. Doctor-patient relationship, ethics dilemmas, or professionalism are the most considered in commercial movies. In the present paper we deal with the interest in the field of pharmacology, whose knowledge is in the frontier of basic and clinical fields. We review the use of movies for improving the teaching of pharmacology and clinical pharmacology. Some movies are especially useful to this purpose such as Awakenings (1990), Lorenzo's oil (1992), The constant gardener (2005) and more recently Dallas Buyers Club (2013). Some recommendations for its optimal use in the teaching of pharmacology and clinical pharmacology are included.

Palabras clave : commercial movies; teaching; Pharmacology; Clinical Pharmacology; teaching innovation.
