Assuming:

>>> files = {"a_movie.mkv", "an_image.png", "a_movie_without_extension", "an_image_without_extension"}

And they are proper movie and image files in script folder.

You can use builtin mimetypes module, but it won't work without extensions.

>>> import mimetypes
>>> {file: mimetypes.guess_type(file) for file in files}
{'a_movie_without_extension': (None, None), 'an_image.png': ('image/png', None), 'an_image_without_extension': (None, None), 'a_movie.mkv': (None, None)}

Or call the unix command file . This works without extensions, but not in Windows:

>>> import subprocess
>>> def find_mime_with_file(path):
...     command = "/usr/bin/file -i {0}".format(path)
...     return subprocess.Popen(command, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0].split()[1]
... 
>>> {file: find_mime_with_file(file) for file in files}
{'a_movie_without_extension': 'application/octet-stream;', 'an_image.png': 'image/png;', 'an_image_without_extension': 'image/png;', 'a_movie.mkv': 'application/octet-stream;'}

Or you try to open it with PIL, and check for errors, but needs PIL installed:

>>> from PIL import Image
>>> def check_image_with_pil(path):
...     try:
...         Image.open(path)
...     except IOError:
...         return False
...     return True
... 
>>> {file: check_image_with_pil(file) for file in files}
{'a_movie_without_extension': False, 'an_image.png': True, 'an_image_without_extension': True, 'a_movie.mkv': False}

Or, for simplicity, as you say, just check extensions, it's the best way I think.

>>> extensions = {".jpg", ".png", ".gif"} #etc
>>> {file: any(file.endswith(ext) for ext in extensions) for file in files}
{'a_movie_without_extension': False, 'an_image.png': True, 'an_image_without_extension': False, 'a_movie.mkv': False}

You should use a library for this. Note that extension != file type, because you can change the extension to a .jpg file, open it with paint and paint will interpret it like a jpeg (for example). You should check How to find the mime type of a file in python?.
