motion picture (plural motion pictures)

1. A sequence of images depicting people or objects in motion, preserved on a recording medium and capable of being projected for viewing.

   Some technical knowledge of cameras and lighting is needed to create a motion picture.

     The line along the Northumbrian coast to Berwick and into Scotland is stunning (even on a Voyager!), and the weather is perfect - just sit back, relax, and enjoy the motion picture that plays beyond the window.

2. A movie.

   “Gone with the Wind” is my favorite motion picture.
