SPOILER ALERT: #5. Kingsman: The Secret Service. Worst scene.

Onto the front page!
zeberdeezeberdeebopbop
Maybe just become British? Then whatever amusing shit you choose watch it's still a 'film'.
Cheomesh
Can someone please explain the difference between a movie and a film.
chowmaster
As a self proclaimed movie buff - these are entirely accurate. Especially #5.
adam1111
Fuck you, I'll watch whatever the fuck I want.

God this is so pretentious.

So who are the one examples in #'s 2,3,4,5 and 6?
Viralregurgitator
Sean bean
Ghostofstarman
Yeah man, if only visionary directors could do whatever they want with no oversight, like George Luca- oooooooohhhhhhhhh......
fedelis
This is the reason they are movies, they are stories of the most unlikely occurrences!
afrofrycook
M. Night Shamhammer has autonomy when making a movie per his contract. Clearly that works out just fine.
Xeynid
Ayy, in kingsman he just fuckin' shot that dude. Shit was cray breh.
Viralregurgitator
#5 just Sean Bean messing up the averages
MikeofLA
I like both, Shoot'em Up, Crank, and 2 Smoking Aces are some of my favorite movies, but films like Forrest Gump, Shawshank, or 1/?
MikeofLA
2/2 There Will Be Blood aren't quite the same. What this seems to say, Movies are fun, Films are serious... Ain't nothing wrong with fun.
BonkyMcSignFace
Oh look, some hipster 22 year old just learned movie tropes AND how to use his cracked version of illustrator. Wonder if buzzfeed is hiring?
Dihhie
So.. You are saying there is a difference between movies and films?
chowmaster
There is definitely a "film culture" or as some like to say, "sineemah".
NoHeverly314
I didn't even know there was a difference. I just guessed it might be a British and American version. TIL.
NonExistingName
... I'll admit, I have no idea what's the difference between producer and director. Anyone mind enlightening me?
thunderrunner
producers put all the puzzle pieces together for the whole operation. directors select camera angles and scenes and so on. out of words now

JonSnowForKing
I don't get the producers vision and directors vision
AlcoholicsAnonymousBYO
Movies = money bags producer focuses on crowd pleasing formulas ... Films = director focuses on thought provoking original vision
cousteau
I think the producer is from USA and the director is from UK.
AirshipEngineer
Hmm maybe if you really tried, you could sound a little more elitist.
vowofloudness
I don't know if these people could really appreciate true elitism.
NexiKuro
2/2 And that is why I love elitism.
NexiKuro
It can be hard to not get rustled when it's directed at you, but you've just gotta take the high road and shit on them from your high horse.
Snooj
Wait, what's the difference between a film and a movie?

Calling something a 'film' or 'movie' does not denote quality, it's what you do with the opportunity to tell the story that does.
TotallyNormalPlantNothingToSeeHere
But that's the point. A director can't just call a movie a film or vise versa. It's what is done that defines it. Then movies become films.
CapitanTypo
It's all elitist bullshit trying to create an arbitrary line of distinction.
velkrai
The only reason it doesn't denote quality is because we wont let it. Linguistics change is by use not by law
Malkiot
A Film is a film is a movie. I don't think anyone actually gives a fuck. My other native language doesn't even make a distinction.
Varent
#5 Kingsmen. Watch it.
expatriateArt
Of course, if anyone hasn't seen it, you just fucking ruined the best part of the movie for them.
PotatoHamer
spoilers!!

That movie was great, idk why people dislike it, I mean, come on...anal
actualedsheeran
As you said. This ain't that kind of movie bruv
Zeruda
I thought the same thing when I saw that picture. :3 It was an amazing movie.
someonefoundoutmyurlsoihadtochangeit
Exactly what I thought of. I loved that movie. It's fantastic.
LadyofLifting
So good, I'd be willing to pay to see it again.
someonefoundoutmyurlsoihadtochangeit
I actively want to see it again! anyone wanna go with me?

Nippleyezus
imgur. you always cry for new good films instead of unneeded unoriginal cliched movies & sequels. And now this posts make you butthurt.
nzey
Sometimes I feel like this site is made up of a bunch of people with different opinions voiced at different times, and not just 1 opinion.
nzey
But seriously though, there's a difference between pointing out good original moves and mocking everything else with a pretentious attitude
AlcoholicsAnonymousBYO
"mocking everything else with a pretentious attitude" ...?
AlcoholicsAnonymousBYO
woops ... that's what imgur does all the time, we just don't like it when other people do it
nzey
"Watch films, not movies. There's a difference." is pretty pretentious. Not to mention that it is on each one, so it's said 14 times.
oaque
"watch films not movies there's a difference." okay so firstly, secondly AND thirdly: get the fuck over yourselves.
Ihavesomethingtosay
I want to upvote this more, because fuck that kind of snobbery. Movies are successful for a reason. People like cheesy, reliable, tropes.
TheHypestShit
I think they're totally right. Movies and films are definitely different. One isn't necesarily BETTER than the other, but they're different.
VinnieJonesDiary
They aren't though, movie & film are interchangeable synonyms. Theyre adding an arbitrary difference that colloquially doesnt belong at all.
MeSoMerry
Watch them both. Indie films can suck shit and big-budget blockbusters can be fucking amazing. Furious 7 blew my mind.
thebeginningoftomorrow
like the only difference i see is when saying a "movie" or a "short film" but never a "short movie" or going to the "films" vs "movies" -_-
oaque
does anybody actually know what 'movie' means?! say the word out loud! it's a "move-ie"! because THE PICTURES ARE MOVING!! IT'S ALL MOVIES
velkrai
fourth, fifth, and sixth go shove it up your own ass
AlwaysEatingAlmonds
Technically, the difference is that a film is shot using film... so not only are they conceited, they're wrong.
raggingmuppet
People really got to be less angry.
FilmNerd
Exactly
DobbyWanKenobi
Instructions unclear. Fucked myself over.
CyberAkuma
This will attract some hatred but.... what's the difference between a film and a movie? I thought those were more or less interchangeable
QuincyHarvey
They are. They're just being pretentious.
PlaneMan

"Sorry, I can't hear you over all this Starbucks I'm drinking."
jetflight
Yeah. There is literally a 100% overlap. Film=movie. Metapho- I mean, synonym. No fingers on throats.
Treblaine
The terms "film" and "movie" are EXACTLY synonymous. This is, somehow, even more pretentious than the "Mac vs PC" adverts.
IndigoWendigo
Exactly, i don't get the intended difference between the two.
GeorgieLeech
Feel that artsy, pretentious derision in the phrase? Artsy, pretentious derision is the only difference.
superstokedbraj
It's not necessarily pretentious to prefer films, 'movies' disrespect the art of film making and mostly exist to get money.
AlcoholicsAnonymousBYO
wow people really don't like being told they're dumb fuckwits do they? doesn't matter if they are actually, in fact, dumb fuckwits either.
ghsdkgb
It's like saying, "Go to an art museum instead of reading comic books." They're completely different things that just use a similar medium.
Leithoa

and one doesn't invalidate the other. you can even do both!
ghsdkgb
And fully enjoy them each for separate, equally important reasons!
TheGingerBeardedBiologist
I didn't even know there was a difference. I just guessed it might be a British and American version. TIL.
intothepitt
as a british person, i always understood it as film=uk, movie=us
Leithoa
In America you 'go to the movies' but 'watch a film'. We use both.
intothepitt
hmm i guess we use it interchangeably like that to, that's just how i assumed the origins of the words
Hashtaglolwut
As a film student, I understood their point but still
wheresthebaby
What is the difference?
IAMPAPER
What is their point?
MinisterKai
Something stupid about "movies" being soulless corporate cash-ins, while "films" are labors of love by poor indie directors. I'm guessing.
perviggo
As a person working with film and animation, what the hell are they talking about?
hoboindenial
As another film student I concur, I hate when people act like they're the first to notice genres have a lot of similar tropes.
KnasKalas
But how else will I express that I think I'm better than everyone else?
MinisterKai
Wear a fedora?
WhatzitTooya
I dont get it. I though a "film" is the long line of pictures used to show a "movie" in a cinema.
nacko
There's two meanings to the word: Film, a media used to make photographs, and film, a synonym for movie and not necessarily a good one.
nacko
(and other meanings unrelated to cinema, of course)
ghsdkgb
"Movies" are Hollywood, "films" are artsy. And only the pretentious "film"makers care about the difference.
chaseispretty
As a non-native English-speaker, I think they say film in the UK and movie in the US. I might be wrong.
cousteau
Up to this day, that's what I did think as well.
intothepitt
as an englishman, that's exactly how i understood it
Krindi
And in Canada, they say "Fill-em"
AngelOfDownVotes
Exactly. Some times I WANT to watch a bad action movie full of tropes. Go fuck yourself, film festival.
Eldibs
Sometimes tropes exist for a reason.
McBook
Maybe I'm not watching a movie to write an essay about it, maybe I just want to sit there and watch pointless explosions happen
Treblaine
Yup, their arrogance to think it's the producers overruling the director when that may very well be the director's vision.
Robvp
This is the reason why I still watch 80s action flicks every now and then
whoah
Lethal Weapon series is and always will be amazing
Robvp
I'm too old for this shit
WardSharlow
So, you understand that some movies are ice cream and some are broccoli?
oaque
but they aren't mutually exclusive. if i watch Death Race i'm not prevented from watching some arthouse film about the banality of existence
AngelOfDownVotes
Exactly, you can like both types equally well.
AngelOfDownVotes
Absolutely. Lately though, my mood has tended towards movies that don't take themselves seriously.
CrickleCrack
Those are the only movies I watch now. I want to just be entertained for 2 hours.
MegaweaponOfTheLostWorld
Are you a fellow Troper? From TVTropes? HAVE I FOUND MY FRIENDS ON IMGUR?
KaiserFredVIII
TROPERS, UNITE! After closing the 95+ tabs of tropes ranging from UsefulNotes on Nigeria and nuclear weapons to anime tropes.
EnterDMZ
I found TVTropes when I looked up headscratchers from the cartoon I was watching. Every other word is linked to a different definition.
KaiserFredVIII
That's the magic of it :D
SaulGoodmanAttorneyAtLaw
"You should read the books before you watch the movie" I'll do whatever the fuck I want
JebusActual
I watch the movie first, then read the book if possible. That way I can actually enjoy both.
Seven7greens
Cue discussion about movie not living up to the book's expectations.
jyetie
Books and movies are different mediums. What works in a book might not work in a movie. They aren't fucking it up to piss you off.
Seven7greens
Exactly. Every time someone brings that up I just change the conversation.
jyetie
Although, GoT, where is [spoiler below]

iwanttobeapenguin
I don't mind that the movie character development sucked. It honestly just isn't a good book to make a movie out of, but maybe 1/2
iwanttobeapenguin
somebody read the book because of the movie. Good enough for me. 2/2
CrickleCrack
yeah. no real way for them to depict time passing in that way in 2 hours.
