You would actually want to use an "and" statement vs an "or" statement here. With an "or" statement only one side of the expression has to be True and "N" is not equal to "n" so it would print "Enjoy the Show".

It should be:

if start_movie != 'n' and start_movie != 'N':

A better way though would be to lowercase or uppercase the input and just check one value in your statement.

if start_movie.lower() != 'n':
