Cinema Alphabetical
Here’s a simple, but not necessarily easy exercise to expand your creativity and attention. For each letter of the alphabet, come up with a movie title. Note the director next to each title if you know who it is.
Can you complete the list without using a film directory? How many can your friends come up with? Which letter was the most difficult to find a title for?
How many of the titles you listed spawned mini-lists? Or made you think about other movies by the same director or actors? How many of the titles brought back memories? Did any make you think of songs or television shows?
Thanks for the tip!
I’ve made an interesting observation: you lists will be quite different if you try or don’t try to recall a director’s name for each movie. The reason for this is that if you wrote one director’s name against a movie at the top of the list, you will somehow lean towards all the rest movies you know by the same director, and will write them down in their respective position of the alphabet. But if you don’t think of directors, you will probably lean towards the same actors.

hmm…. Hadn’t thought about that, but it makes sense.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
