I usually say film, however I dislike using the same word too often in a short space of time, so I may alternate between the two.

"Film" is proper, "movie" is a slang combination of "moving image".

Movie is an American word.

As I said earlier, "Film" is proper. "Movie" is slang and is a conjunction of "moving image".

:S i was being sarcastic. and there isn't a correct way of saying it, if you called it "movie" in an exam you wouldn't get marks took off because it's slang would you? :S
oh soz i forgot misawa is master of all FILMS so i must listen to him

Misawa
17-10-2008, 04:35 PM
No, you wouldn't get "marks off" for writing "movie". The word is now common vocabulary.
