When you go to the movies, a strong light shines through the film and then through one or more lenses. The image you see on the screen is much larger than the one on the film.

What kind of image are you looking at on the movie screen?

A real, enlarged (magnified) image — typically inverted.

Reason: the projector lens makes the film's light rays actually converge onto the screen, so a real image is formed there (virtual images cannot be caught on a screen). For the usual object‑distance/focal‑length arrangement this image is magnified and upside‑down.
