RewriteRule is not working

Question

I have verified that mod_rewrite is enabled.

The URL that I want to rewrite is as under

http://www.freshupnow.com/movie.php?moviename=A+Flat

I want to rewrite this URL as under

http://www.freshupnow.com/movies/A-Flat

The .htacess file is in my root directory
I have write the following code in .htaccess to rewrite the URL

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On  #Turn on the rewriting engine 

RewriteRule ^movies/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ movie.php?moviename=$1 [NC,L]

But It is not working. It even does not raise any error.
I am much worried. Can any one solve this problem.

Note: (I have contacted to my hosting company and they have verified that every thing regarding .htaccess and RewriteRule is enabled and working from their part, it means that problem is at my part, but I am not getting what is the problem)

can you try removing the Options +FollowSymLinks line from your .htaccess file and try it again?

I have verified from some sources that my RegEx code is correct. But the problem is, that it is not being applied. It is not effecting.
