Movies are one of the most popular forms of entertainment and have enjoyed tremendous popularity over the years. A movie, also known as a video, motion picture or video, is a piece of visual art used to depict stories, experiences, emotions, sights, beauty, or other atmosphere through the utilisation of moving pictures. The word ‘movies’ is derived from the word vidya, which translates directly to mean “a picture”. Movie rental companies make their movies available to consumers on demand from a selected number of DVD quality video rental shops. VHS was the earliest form of movie recording, followed by digital video recording systems and Betamax, before DVD systems gained widespread popularity in the late eighties.

Examples of modern movies can be loosely classified into five ‘mature’ movie genres, which are comedy, fantasy, science fiction, thriller, and horror. The comedy genre features a mixture of classic examples of funny scripts, and modern touch-me-down style hybrids that are still considered highly funny by viewers. Fantasy films are fantasy thrillers with an ensemble cast, interspersed with mythical creatures, magic, and other supernatural elements. Horror movies involve anything from ghost stories to blood spattered action sequences and are common amongst the horror genre.

Film critics and film lovers enjoy the consensus of opinions regarding each movie that leaves an impression on their minds. Although there is no consensus regarding the best or most favorite films, there are common themes among the best-known and most financially successful films. Overall, viewers of movies appreciate messages that are provided to them regarding social issues, societal problems, and issues of importance to them such as peace, world peace, animal rights, and the like. These messages have had a profound influence on the attitudes toward social issues that are prevalent in today’s society. In turn, the impact of these messages has left an everlasting impression on audiences worldwide.

Recreational activity is a broad term that can mean any structured activity for fun or recreation. It is not necessary that the activity must necessarily involve contact with another human being. It may take the form of physical activity, sporting activity, or other interactive constructive activity. Recreational activity is often defined by those who claim to practice it as a separate category of activity from leisure activity. This view is widely held by many people, but it is rarely accepted by the majority of psychologists and sociologists.

Recreation is an unstructured activity of relaxation, recreation, and socialization. The “joy of being out” is a necessary component of human psychology and biology. It is used to describe a variety of activities that involve people in supervised activity with some kind of goal in mind. The “joy of recreation” is a necessary component of physical fitness and is associated with a wide range of self-directed physical activities that have significant meaning and are pursued for pleasure, exercise, socialization, etc. Most people would readily agree that there is a strong psychological component to most forms of recreational activities and that they are generally used as a means of relaxation, of stretching out and of having fun.

In our society it has become common for people to divide up their time between work and leisure activities. Work is usually defined as tasks that are performed for pay while leisure time is generally understood to be free time that is devoted to hobbies, personal reflection, socializing, etc. Although there are many who believe that leisure time should be completely left up to the individual, most people realize that many common activities such as watching television, exercising, socializing, eating, etc. are crucial to a productive and successful life.
