This study aimed to find the empirical data and describe the relationship between students? frequency of watching movie (variable x) and their listening comprehension in narrative (variable y). This study was conducted at SMA Muhammadiyah 8 Ciputat. The population in this study was all students of X-3 in the study year 2017/2018, and the sample was 30 students. The method used in this study was the quantitative method with the correlational design. The instruments that were used to gather the data were questionnaire and listening test. The scores from both instruments were calculated and analyzed by using statistical procedure of Product Moment Correlation to see if there was any relationship between the two variables. The result showed that there was a very low relationship, with the index value of correlation coefficient (rxy) of 0.012. Furthermore, the hypothesis testing showed that rxywas much lower than the correlation coefficient of the Product Moment Table (rt), which means that the null hypothesis (H0) was accepted. In conclusion, there is no relationship between the two variables. However, further examination showed that this result may have been affected by several internal threats. First, the respondents? watching frequency is still relatively low. Second, the respondents use subtitles when they watch movies, which may prevent them to optimally acquire the language, especially listening skill
