I am not sure I understand what your issue is, but I think you wanted to call sys.exit() only if your input evaluates to 'n' or to 'N'. You have to declare it like this: 

if movie == 'n' or movie == 'N':
    sys.exit()

The way you currently defined your condition, the interpreter will read it as follows

if movie == 'n' or 'N' == TRUE:
    sys.exit()

This will always evaluate to TRUE.

When you are using boolean operators and are comparing values, you have to make that comparison on both sides of the operator.
