"Movies" is a word

Why do so few spell checking programs seem to know the word "movies"? I've encountered it in at least four different programs so far, and I don't understand. Perhaps they all populated from the same proto-dictionary list. Perhaps it's just my imagination that elevated the incident in my mind. Still, for it to happen even once seems like an unusual oversight.

PPS - Or anything similar?

My phone doesn't know how to spell it. Does that count?

That counts without a doubt. I'm pretty sure my phone didn't know how to spell it at first either.
