AS Media - Films to Watch!

Now my little Media "grasshoppers" (now if you don't know which film "grasshopper" comes from then you need to do some serious research!), I am recommending the following films to you because I truly believe that you can not be proper Media Studies students until you have watched and appreciated the brilliance of some of these films! Watch them immediately! They are not all Thrillers, but ARE all amazing. Remember that you are looking specifically at the openings of films - even though you should definitely watch the WHOLE film, analyse just the openings and include on your blog.

There are 25 of them so you have loads to choose from! Amazon do really good deals, or just go to HMV and buy a stack load really cheap!
