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")
