Abstract

Movie has become an integral part of the entertainment industry and a powerful medium of communication in the 21st century. Movie generally is not the exclusive preserve of a particular segment of people in the society. Everyone- young and old- watch movies. This study is an attempt to determine if university setting - whether secular or Christian - actually influences the choice of movies among undergraduates. It revealed 48% of CU students as against 46% of OOU students agreed to the fact that their university influences their choice of movies. Also, this study revealed that 82.7% ofCU respondents and 50% of OOU respondents prefer westem movies to locally made movies. The implication of this is that our youths are daily bombarded with alien values they know nothing about and which are capable of eroding our rich indigenous cultural values.
