Reaching for the stars, the top 250 films

In Mr Coles lesson we have been exploring different films and openings in order to help us with our own two minute production. In one of his lessons we were given a list of the 250 films, and asked to highlight how many we had watched (unfortuently I was sat next to Caitlin who is a movie lover and the amount i had watched compared to her was pretty embarrasing, I have seen a total of 21 films in the top 250, she has seen 61 - looks like I need to do a bit more movie watching to catch up with her!) However by exploring these films, it made me really intrested in watching some that I wouldn't usally chose, this lead to me seeing Se7en and this helped me generate one of my two leading ideas for my two minutes opening!
