Sorta like the difference between theater and theatre….
When we were kids we went to the pictures or the flicks.
Movies havve devolved to a point where explosions and car chases are expected. I think that’s why the classic movie library is always my go-to place for a good movie.
@nabuquduriuzhurCheck Websters New Collegiate dictionary. Either way.
We never went to the movies. We went to the show!!
I went to the movies and drive in movies
“Film” meaning “motion pictures” dates from 1905, “movie” from 1912, perhaps from 1908.

sorta like the difference between a garage sale, a yard sale, and a rummage sale…..
Hmm. I wonder if foreign pornography has subtitles…
Thus, by your reckoning, we’re all morons — in someone’s view!
