What is the difference between movie and film?

Answer 1

Movies have historically been captured and projected from photographic film, so the term "film" has been applied to what are commonly referred to in the US as "movies" (which is a shortened version of "motion picture"). In the US, the terms are interchangeable, but most major, commercial motion pictures aimed at a broad viewing audience (in the hopes of making a profit) are usually referred to as "movies". The term "film" is commonly applied to movies of an artistic or educational nature not expected to have broad, commercial appeal. But using one term for the other will not cause any confusion. "Have you seen the latest Harry Potter film?" or "Last night I watched a Lithuanian movie about the history of waistcoats". "Movie" may also be used by a critic in a derogatory way, such as "That was movie, not a film" would indicate the critic's opinion that the motion picture was not what she would consider "art".
There is no difference between film and movie, they are the same thing. However, the word film is older word that was used to describe a movie.

Answer 2

Movie is a synonym (informal) for the word film. Until recently, the word film has been synonymous with words such as movie and motion pictures because photographic film was the medium that was used to record the images. In recent years, such recordings have been made using digital video cameras that don't require the use of film. See Sources and related links for more information.
