Try removing the parenthesis from start_movie()
Hope that helps!

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 6,629 PointsHmm, try adding .lower() to your input function. I'm on a phone and can't find the tick marks for formatting, but...
foo = input("stuff...").lower()
Otherwise typing "N" will not exit, only "n"
