sachin-seth.jpgThe shiny new Bell Lightbox had its grand opening today at the corner of King and John today.Hundreds of movie and music fans came out to watch the concert, take pictures with costumed Star Wars and Wizard of Oz characters and celebrate a milestone in Canadian cinematic history.So, while all of this was going on, CBC intern Emily Gagne and I walked around and asked people two questions: "What celebrity does your friend look like?" and "What is YOUR essential cinema?"

We asked the girls to name a lookalike for one another. Sarah got Carey Mulligan, Kristen got Zooey Deschanel and Lauren got Sara Ramirez.

Joe Ring. (Seriously, that's his name.)

We asked Joe what his "essential cinema" is. He gave us his top three:The Sting with Robert Redford,V for Vendetta with Natalie Portman andGroundhog Day with Bill Murray

Anupam and Greg

Greg's friends decided he looked like Gary Sinise. He wasn't too happy. Anupam decided for himself, and said Adrian Brody. No one said anything.

Janina Rosonke and Jamey Essex

Janina thinks Jamey looks like John Dore with the beard, and Ron Livingston without. Jamey decided on Claire Danes for Janina. We think she looks more like Gwyneth Paltrow.
