Regular movies (also known as analog movies) are on film stock. They go through a film projector to show them.

A digital movie is actually a bunch of 1s and 0s, digital information, which gets sent on a disk or through a connection to a machine which stores them as computer data. This machine is attached to a projector, which converts the data into a picture and sound. There is no film involved.

Most movies are shot on digital cameras and are later put onto film. Yes, there are still some films that use film as the primary medium of recording, but there are fewer of them all the time; film is expensive, and they shoot a lot of film to make a movie. Digital cameras are less expensive to use, although they may cost a bit to buy. However, some people prefer the look of film, especially for certain types of movies.

As to which is preferable, I have never seen a film as both digital and analog, so I can't give you that expert an answer. I can say that I have never seen anything that made me say, "wow, that digital is cool." The one noticable difference to me is that digital is cleaner after multiple showings, whereas every trip through the projector is a potential for film to get scratched or damaged. (I saw one film which had a lot of scratches and the such, and that was just the way that I wanted it for that film, since it was based on a twenty-year-old book. The thing is, I wished that I had known if that was the copy of the film or if that was an effect that was done to the original.)
