DO or WOULD ?

In some English movies I have seen many times people use sentences like follows,

Why WOULD you do that ?

instead of,

why DO you do that ?

------------------------------------------------
could you please explain this in detail if possible ?

this is so confusing Emotion: sad

thanks in advance !
