For the first movie he has 6 choices, then for the second since he has chosen the first there are only 5 left, then for the third there are only 4 choices left and so on.

Therefore the answer is 6!=65432=720 orderings

So,

We can see that this is a permutation.

The total number of permutations will be the number with an exclamation mark attached to it.

6! = total number of possible permutations
6! = 720

There are 720 possible permutations.
