What course and where to study if I wanna act in Movies?

What course and where to study if I wanna act in Movies?
That's what I want to know. I wanna act, but I seek TV Series or Movies, not Drama though. Could anyone help me giving directions of wich course I should take and in wich College or State so I can get what I want? I'm a international student from Brazil and it's really though getting that kind of information through the Internet. It'd be a lot easier to get that kind of information through real people who have been through the same situation or work with this. Thanks a lot for the attention. Hey, first... I don't know how to give answers to answers to my question. How do I do that? Second... Yeah, there are opportunities in Brazil but it's mostly for Drama. I want movies... xD And you guys only chose BIG BIG names... I'm thinking of maybe starting at a Community College, than transfering... Or do you guys think that will suck?

1 :
try the actor's studio in new york.
2 :
NYU, Tisch, Yale, Harvard or anywhere in Los Angeles if it doesn't have to be attached to University... Checkout WorkingActors.com, click on actors, then on training and there are plenty of classes and workshops not attached to college curriculum. There are also opportunities in Brazil, have you checked that out first?
3 :
Try NYFA in New York City. It's the New York Film Accademy. It's really great but it's also REALLY expensive.

As an actor you DO NOT determine where you will perform. You are NOT the Talent Agent or the Casting Director. The Talent Agent determines where his/her clients are best suited, they are the industry professionals. There are many top schools for theatre. It depends on which city in the USA you want to live. Make that decision first and then narrow it down to the school that may interest you. You may, at some point, want to come to the city of your choice and ask the University if you can observe some of the classes, to see if that's right for you. Be sure you enroll in a University and not a school that teaches film, as that is TOTALLY useless.
