The code challenge is looking for an exit using the sys module. You have sys.exit() in the 'else' case, but you need to add one in the if movie != ... case also. For instance...

if movie != 'n' or 'N' :
    print("Enjoy the show!")
    sys.exit()
else:
    sys.exit()

jonlunsford Thank you for your quick response! I didn't know that I needed to use the sys.exit method on the if statement as well.
