I've noticed several posters on here correcting people about using the term film for a movie, and movie for a film.


They are and should be used interchangeably, and I almost don't believe you that people have been correcting usages. You might have examples, but the premise here is ridiculous. There shouldn't be any correcting going on for film vs. movie.

they're all just movies. i don't call them anything other than in polite company because i'm not a complete douche.

but i do say in our house, we define what we're watching as flicks, films, and movies. but we do that in terms of what kind of thing we want to watch.

Drop was a great little flick.
Sinners was a good movie
Warfare was a film.

again, that's just in house douchebaggery, not how i'd talk about it in polite company.

lol, this is a fair analysis. what does "picture" fall into the heirarchy? as in, "that director used to make great pictures"

I've never heard it called a film theater.
