Just Call It a Movie

Rather than a "film". Don't talk about your "favorite films". It doesn't make you sound smarter or more sophisticated, and it doesn't impress anybody. It comes across as pretentious IMO. I'm sure I've done it a time or two, but I take it back. Just call it a movie! Go to the movie theater and watch a movie!

Dude...there's a difference between a film and a movie. And it's important to know the difference.

Did Gus Johnson say something about a film yesterday?

Great username. American Psycho is one of my favorite films.

In the US, the terms are interchangeable, but most major, commercial motion pictures aimed at a broad viewing audience (in the hopes of making a profit) are usually referred to as "movies". The term "film" is commonly applied to movies of an artistic or educational nature not expected to have broad, commercial appeal.

ETA: I consider artistic movies, movies - just like all the others.

So would this thread be made into a movie or a film?
Posted on 2/14/13 at 2:14 pm to Patrick_Bateman
This thread seems just as pretentious
Posted on 2/14/13 at 2:20 pm to Patrick_Bateman
Well, I prefer to call it a god damn film. Not to be pretentious or anything, its just the term I prefer. I don't go out and correct people who call them movies. Seems like you're the one who's being pretentious.
