My foreach statement is outputting 2 errors

When I try to output a table with a foreach statement, it outputs 2 errors saying that the MovieViewModel and the MovieVM dont exist.

This is part of the Index.cshtml file: 

  @foreach (MovieViewModel item in MovieVM)
  {
    <tr>
      <td>@item.MovieName</td>
      <td>@item.MovieCategory</td>
      <td>@item.MovieYear
      <td>@item.MoviePrice</td>
    </tr>
  }
</table>

This is part of the MoviesController.cs file:

  List<MovieViewModel> MovieVM = new List<MovieViewModel>
  {
    new MovieViewModel {
      MovieID = movie.MovieID,
      MovieName = movie.MovieName,
      MovieDescription = movie.MovieDescription,
      MoviePrice = movie.MoviePrice,
      MovieCategory = movie.MovieCategory,
      MovieYear = movie.MovieYear
    },
  };

  return View(MovieVM);
}

It outputs these 2 errors about the foreach:

"The type or namespace 'EmployeeViewModel' does not exist in the namespace 'WebApplication3.Models '(are you missing an assembly reference?)"

and

"The name 'MovieVM' does not exist in the current context"

You must define the model type in the view.

@model IEnumerable<MovieViewModel>

@foreach (var item in Model)
{
   <tr>
    <td>@item.MovieName</td>
    <td>@item.MovieCategory</td>
    <td>@item.MovieYear</td>
    <td>@item.MoviePrice</td>
   </tr>
}

Does this DB connection have anything to do with the error?

 public ActionResult Index()
    {
        PAPEntities db = new PAPEntities();
        MoviesData movie = db.MoviesData.SingleOrDefault(x => x.MovieID == 1);

        List<MovieViewModels> MovieVM = new List<MovieViewModels>
            {
                new MovieViewModels {
                 MovieID = movie.MovieID,
                 MovieName = movie.MovieName,
                 MovieDescription = movie.MovieDescription,
                 MoviePrice = movie.MoviePrice,
                 MovieCategory = movie.MovieCategory,
                 MovieYear = movie.MovieYear
                    },
        };


        return View(MovieVM);
    }
}
