New Oxford American Dictionary said:
movie |ˈmo͞ovē|
noun chiefly N. Amer.
a story or event recorded by a camera as a set of moving images and shown in a theater or on television; a motion picture.
- Story or event recorded by a camera? Check.
- Set of moving images? Check.
- Shown in a theater or on television? Check.
