Movies & TV is an app bundled with Windows 10. It is a replacement for Windows Media Center which was removed from Windows 10 and for Windows Media Player which is no longer being maintained or updated. Unlike Windows Media Center, the new app allows you to buy and play media content from the Windows Store. By default, the app stores your purchased movies and TV shows under the folder %UserProfile\Videos. Here is how to change it.
