Read the error log file .\xampp\apache\logs\error.log, it will give you more details about what may be an issue in your .htaccess file.

[Sun Nov 09 00:26:57 2008] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/xampp/htdocs/movie/.htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
showing this eror what to do

Open in your text editor .\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf file and find this line:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Remove the comment # so the line looks like this:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Save the file then restart Apache.

Try your site again.
