A list of films in Enterprise's database.
A film (also known as a movie or motion picture) was a Human artistic form of entertainment, popular throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Films were typically viewed in movie theaters, but were also available for home viewing on a television.
From the early 20th century to at least the mid-22nd century, key filmmakers of well-received films were often rewarded with movie awards, handed out during specially-held ceremonies. (ENT: "Home")
Lesser-known movies of the time, usually produced on a significantly lower budget, were known as "B-movies". Tom Paris and Rain Robinson were afficionados of B-movies. (VOY: "Future's End")
The Denobulans had something similar to films and television centuries ago, but gave it up when they realized their real lives were much more interesting. (ENT: "Dear Doctor")
During the 22nd century, Trip Tucker scheduled weekly movie nights aboard the starship Enterprise. Enterprise had a database of 50,000 movies. (ENT: "Cold Front") Tom Paris also began movie nights aboard the USS Voyager in 2377, using the ship's holodeck. (VOY: "Repression")
While living in Vic's Las Vegas Lounge, Nog watched many films from the 1950s. (DS9: "It's Only a Paper Moon")
