Well, actually both are OK, Huong, but we are expected to read the question as a first mention of the movie. I will ask the question writer about changing it, thank you.

Please tell me 'practise' is correct or wrong in this statement:of course the best way of practise are English conversations with other people.
In my opinion the write word is 'practice'- a noun. I AM I WRITE OR WRONG?
What is the subject of the above sentence? |

You are right.
As I understand it, Americans use 'practice' for the verb and the noun, while Brits use 'practice' for the noun and 'practise' for the verb.
