that's right!

Its nothing to do with the genre but just the simple fact whether the design is simple entertainer or has depth to it.

An example would be a popcorn horror movie (I know what you did last summer) vs. a psychological horror film (Dark Water).

Film buffs and persons in the industry tend to use film, while the average person on the street tends to use movie. I think this is true in both British and U.S. usage.

No, no,no.

Any film is a movie and all movies are films (even though now the production of films can be done digitally) ! At this point in history the terms are inter-changeable

Movie evolved from the use of "Moving picture show" - taking place in a theatre or other location.

Film evolved from the material where filmic images are recorded -celluloid..

Then **** Movie or **** Film? Hmm?

Both OK (grammatically, not socially).

How about if it's an entertaining flick, full of action, in a foreign language...
