Actually, there is no real difference, the words are synonyms. The vernacular of entertainment has changed over the years. Movies, or "films", when they first started out were shot on actual film, much like the old pre-digital cameras that take pictures. Hence the title "film" for a movie. Nowadays most films are not "films" anymore because cinematographers (the people that actually record the action of the movie) are recording everything digitally for playback and editing. It is a more correct term to use "movie" in reference to anything in the box office unless you know for sure that what you are seeing is being run on actual 35 mm film.

film & movie = same thing.
In addition...
Film is a medium used to make movies... Video is also a medium used to make movies.
The term "MOVIE" refers to "moving image/s" versus a still image like a photograph. However, it is cool to note that a "movie" (originated on film) is made up of frames which are in fact "still photographs." When film frames move through a projector (at 24 frames per second), the "illusion" of movement is created by your brain.
Did you know that when you see a 2 hour (projected) film, you spend one hour in darkness?
A film/movie can be a "narrative" (typically fiction), a documentary (typically non-fiction), experimental, animation... (did I miss any?) or a combination of 2 or more.

there is no difference in the that term. a film is any thing on TV, coming from the camera, its whats on film, literally, like the saying a documentary film. A movie is specifically a movie though, just it can be called a film too.

The difference between a film and a movie is if you took a stuck up film course in college. Otherwise for normal folks they are the same.

A movie is what you watch. Film is what a movie is printed on.
The names started to be exchanged in the 30's. Studio people ussually call them films, as in the "George Clooney film" where the term movies is used by the people who play the films.
Hope that clears things.

No, it's just semantics. When people say ' film ' they actually mean actual, physical motion picture negative film. Same with movie. There is a conscious effort to replace this with digital but tape/digital disc is digital and still inferior ( information wise and impact wise ) to film.

well i know movies are USUALLY fiction, but can be based on a true story. a film is usually short, and doesnt have as much action. ALso, film is used in movies

They are just two different ways of saying the same thing. Synonyms for movie include cine, cinema, cinematics, cinematograph, feature, film, flick*, flicker, motion picture, moving picture, photoplay, picture, screenplay, show, silver screen*, talkie*, talking picture, videotape
