The composition is working but I have seen curious behaviour where the movie is not updated in the QC output display for up to 10 seconds or longer. The movie file does appear to be "open" as the duration has been obtained.
The way you have things currently set up, only the first movie is going to start at the beginning; the subsequent movies will start at a time offset into the movie.
The Movie Importer patch retrieves a frame from its specified movie, according to its Time Base (right-click on the patch to see/edit this). The Time Base is currently set to "Parent", which means it will use the time provided by the containing patch --- in this case your "Movie Selector" macro, which in turn gets its time from the Root, whose time counts up from zero when the composition starts running **and never resets**.
By switching the Time Base to External, and connecting the Stop Watch's Time output to the new Patch Time input on the Movie Importer, you can ensure that each movie starts at its respective beginning.
