Resum

I would like to comment in this work the contribution of some films to the knowledge of Astronomy and Meteorology. Several films have been made in Astronomy on different subjects. The ones on the life of Galileo, others about asteroids or meteorites as (Armageddon) and also about the Universe (documentaries on the TV serial Cosmos). Concerning the meteorological phenomena, I would remark some films related to the overflowing of rivers (The River), the inclemencys of the weather in the sea (The Perfect Storm) or the climatic change (the documentary An inconvenient truth). Such films not only allow us to spend a good time seeing them but also increase our knowledge of Astronomy and Meteorology and, always obeying the current legislation, can be an excellent didactic instrument to teach these subjects.
