movie

A movie can be defined as a series of pictures displayed on a screen fast enough to create the illusion of motion (roughly 30 frames per second). A movie or film typically tells a story, whether fictional or non-fictional, but that's not necessarily a requirement. A movie may simply document an event, capturing images of people or things for posterity.

The term "movie" was coined sometime between 1908 and 1912 as a shortened form of the term "moving picture."

An entire movie industry has formed around the creation and promotion of films to the public in a variety of forms, including movie theaters and home video.

• 30 Days of Christmas: Nightmare Before Christmas...

  
  My Life, Made Possible By Pop Culture... — Authority: 135
  I personally have always looked at The Nightmare Before Christmas as much more of a Halloween film than a Christmas one. In part this is because the film is full of skeletons, ghosts, and ghouls-- including the protagonist of Jack Skelleton, a resident of Halloweentown-- but in larger part it is because it is a ...
