Your help needed with the website of the week

This website is a very simple idea - lots of movie clips. However the difference is that you can search for individual scenes which have been categorised by such things as their mood, theme, setting or genre. So if you have been looking at party language (making small talk, introductions etc...) in class, you can search for this and find party scenes from films such as 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', 'Iron Man 2' and 'The Dark Knight'.
So, if you have the opportunity this week to use this website please comment on this post and share how you used it.

One idea I am going to try is showing a few scenes to my students without telling them what subject I searched for. They will then need to try to find similarities between the scenes and guess what the link is.
