1Yes if you are referring to an individual film, no if you mean cinema in general. – Kate Bunting Feb 11 '17 at 08:46

If you are referring to some special movie then use "The", else not needed.
E.g. I saw 'Pursuit Of Happiness' yesterday, loved it. The film motivates strugglers alot.

Many thanks, I understand that when we talk of film as a medium, or to mean cinema in general we don't need to add 'the'. – lyna Mar 22 '17 at 18:55
