Here are the errors I am getting, but I can't figure it out. Please help:

GUI.java: 10: illegal start of expression

public GUI(MovieCollection i) {

Thanks. When I remove the bracket I end up with 12 errors. If I place a bracket after :

import java.text.NumberFormat;
{

When I add it here, I still come up with 3 similar errors.

Indent your code so you can see which { match up with which }. Post your code here with code=java tags. Just trying different places at random will not succeed. Keep your Java syntax primer open by your side - for example there's no syntax (that I know of) that allows a { to follow an import statement. Getting more errors when you fix the brackets is not necessaril a bad thing - it may mean that the compiler is now able to get further through its compilation
