Steven Simpson, Brand Manager at Silentnight comments,

Films always spark up debate and big blockbusters are often the talking point at the water cooler in the office - but people don't always agree and opinions often conflict. However, we were surprised to see so many well-known award-winning films make the top ten - no doubt the findings will stir up some controversy amongst film fans!
