That should be:
select .. ~ '.*the fast.*' ...
As REs are unanchored, you can simplify this to:
select .. ~ 'the fast' ...
However, ilike should have worked if it was used properly.
Also note that these searches are going to be slow, since they won't
be able to use an index. If you have so many movies that the speed of
the search is unacceptably slow, then you might want to look at the
tsearch2 contrib module.
