I think that using movies and making a discussion afterward worked well. You could use 15 - 20 minute segments. The movies, in English, without subtitles or dubbing cause the students to use listening skills, since they already have basic writing skills. The discussion portion requires quick translation in their heads to push them towards more fluency.
I used movies that were popular in Japan from the US.
Thanks for the pro tip! Did you have a particular movie that you liked to use?

In my time I used:
Back to the Future I, II, III
Beverly Hills Cop
There were some others, but I can’t remember which.
It is best to use movies that they have watched or want to watch.
The ones I used were current at the time.
