When an OR clause is evaluated, any condition that is true makes the whole OR clause true.

  • If your input is 'N', your OR clause would be True OR False which evaluates as True
  • If your input is 'n', your OR clause would be False OR True which evaluates to True

Try replacing your or with an and. Optionally you could call the .lower() method on start_movie and get rid of the OR clause altogether.
