While both words refer to motion pictures, film would mean on celluloid and a movie can be on any medium (digital, etc.).

I watch a lot of old 'films' and a lot of movies. I think that the main difference is films can be short. Some like documentaries. But I think of Black & White (Joan Crawford & Betty Davis) movies as films. They have a Classic flair to them. Movies are mostly 1 1/2 -2 hours of Bolongna or B.S. Some movies made today are good, I guess, but that usually has a lot to do with the actor(s) not the script.(usually)

No difference really. Just terminology. Film as in the physical film on a reel, or movie, derived from "moving picture".

Sometimes a film can be referring to an old projector film and a movie is referring to a dvd or vhs.
