When you said music and movies are not useful, I suspect that you need to change your mindset a little bit.
English is not our mother tongue, and therefore from first lesson, we do a lot of translation in mind to memorize each word.
For example, in the morning when we see people, naturally we would say Good Morning and somehow students they use a very funny method to memorize it, say 狗的抹脸. And from that onward, students are not learning a language, they just memorize it.
To use the language, you should add Good Morning to your mind, and in the morning when you see the others, spell out Good morning no matter opponent is or is not a foreigner, spell it out loud, do not hesitate and make it real fast, this is to train your mind that Good morning is the right word to spell when meeting people in the morning.
My experience to learn oral English is still songs, movies and foreigner chat and no other shortcuts, however, the song listening is two steps, first you listen while viewing the lyrics, and next when you are confident enough, listen without lyrics and of course at last, you sing along and try to adjust your tone to match with the singer.
For movies, a similar practise is to view the movie with Chinese subtitles first to understand the content, secondly, view the same movie but with English subtitles, and lastly, view it without any subtitles, and more important, spell out the same as movie character said.
I am not sure if the above can be helpful to you, but I suggested these to many people who think they are working.
