Essay: using movies as examples?

<p>I was wondering if it's a good idea to use movies as examples in the essay, as long as it fits the prompt you're writing about? Or should we stay away from movies and just stick with literary, historical, and personal experiences?</p>

<p>I used TOP GUN as one of my examples for the March test. I scored an 11. Just make sure that your example LOGICALLY supports your thesis.</p>

<p>I think it is a great way to support your idea and it also expands the essay moreover it give the reader something new to read and it increases reader's interest in the essay.It is a good idea.I do that now and then.</p>
