There is something wrong with your encoding, you're using a zero instead of an 'O'
Use the following:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/collection">
<html>
<body>
<table border="1" >
     <tr>
     <th>Title</th>
     <th>Year</th>
     <th>Genre</th>
     </tr>

    <xsl:for-each select="film">
    <tr>
       <td><xsl:value-of select="title" /></td>
       <td><xsl:value-of select="year" /></td>
       <td><xsl:value-of select="genre" /></td>
    </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>


</xsl:stylesheet>

Also, you have an orphaned </movie> tag
