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.

  I love movies with a good soundtrack. When you see the visuals of a film up on screen placed in sequence with the just the right music something magical happens.

  Anthologies are common in the horror genre, whether two or more directors band together on a project, or whether one director takes on several short stories alone.
