our task...
We decided to research the best selling films from different DVD/Blu-ray selling websites, as well as researching popular rented horror films. Firstly, we decided to look at Amazon as this is a very popular and credible distributor.
What is amazon?
'Amazon.com is an online store that sells books, movies, games, DVDs, music CDs, computer software and other items (like Amazon Kindle). It is the largest online store right now. It was started by Jeff Bezos in 1994 and the headquarters is in Seattle. The original name was Cadabra.com but was changed to Amazon later on because it sounded like the word "cadaver". The store is named after the world's second longest river.'- Wikipedia
