With the end of ''Donnie Darko'', Movies Nights of this semester came to an end successfully.

Movies Nights were held by Mr. Tim Musgrave，an overseas teacher from the Faculty of Foreign Languages. In the past two months, he showed nine films including ‘Wall-E’ ‘Shaun of the Dead’ ‘The Social Network’ and ‘Being John Malkovieh’ ect. Every film showed on Movies Nights has different styles and themes. ‘Hot Fuzz’ inspired students to pursue justice and courage. ‘Alien’ led students to think about human morality. ‘Donnie Darko’ expanded students’ imagination. The humorous and exaggeration of ‘Police Academy’ made students often burst into laughter.

In order to attract students’ attention and choose their favorite film, Mr. Tim Musgrave built a website named Movies Nights to announce the films in advance and students can vote their favorite film on the website. The film which was the most popular would be showed on Thursday nights.

Mr. Tim Musgrave told reporters that he hoped that "Movie Nights” could provide Chinese students a chance to learn the culture of the English-speaking countries better and broaden their horizons as well. Watching wonderful English movies also help to improve their English listening and speaking skills. The most important point is to lead students to think deeply about life and culture.
