For the first film he may pick any of 6 options; once that choice is made, 5 remain for the second, then 4 for the third, and so forth.

Hence the total is 6! = 6*5*4*3*2 = 720 possible orders

So,

This situation represents a permutation.

The total permutations equal the factorial of the number, indicated with an exclamation mark.

6! = the total count of possible permutations
6! = 720

Therefore, there are 720 possible permutations.
