You probably mean to make a joined query:

Select * from table1 inner join table2 on table1.name = table2.name where 
movies = yes

Notice that the join clause has a few options, the most important you might 
have to consider is the 'left join'  or 'right join' which allows you to 
still see the records of one table even if there is no corresponding record 
on the other table.
