Where is Movies? Why Films?

[bearofnothingness]

Movies is so much nicer

Movies is childish imvho. Film describes what it actually is you're seeing!

Pedantic, moi?

Hi bearofnothingness Thanks for starting this thread, we love all things film/movie/cinema too. This films topic is all about what you lovely Mumsnetters think about your big screen experiences, so we felt it was important to use a term that the majority of you were happy with. Back in the day we started a thread about it all asking for Mumsnettters' thoughts and so Films was born.

Films, agree about the creeping Americanisms. Boom!

I prefer films to movies too.

What is the creeping Americanism? The word "movies"?

Yes films! And it's pronounced filums.
