Subject: Movie of Film?

Which of these two words do you use? I tend to use them both, but which one is "more correct"?

I use Movie if it's professionally made and released(like in a movie theater and on DVD/Blu-Ray).

I use Film if it's Indie made.

Break down, every single one of you.

Usually movie, but I occasionally use the term film.

  • 12.19.2012 12:33 AM PDT

Movie, in fact I never hear anyone using film unless they refer to the industry as Film industry but I hear more and more people say Movie industry now. Not sure if any of them are more correct than the other.

And he entered the service of the Dark Tower when it first rose again, and because of his cunning he grew ever higher in the Lord's favour; and he learned great sorcery, and knew much of the mind of Sauron; and he was more cruel than any orc.

Movie, typically. In writing, though, I might be more inclined to say film.

I use "movie" when I'm describing something I watch purely for entertainment value.

I use "film" when I'm describing something I classify as a work of art.

or, to simplify: Michael Bay makes movies, Christopher Nolan makes films.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

It's a flicker show!

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

Film is what they put movies on.

Unless they're digital.
