Words that rhyme with Movie
Start from the sound: movie is a two-syllable word on the singing /iห/, and it opens out at the end. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. The headline counts: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. The lyric headline: it works as a plain-speech anchor. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why movie rhymes the way it does
Movie is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the singing /iห/, then it opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 138, assonance 2,851, and consonance 285. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Movie is a word that benefits from the second pass.
