Movies Vs. Films

I've contended for years that I enjoy movies, not films and I usually hear that I'm arguing semantics, but I'm really not! There's a huge difference to me between movies and films and I thought I'd take a minute to explain to you the difference.

You see, film has been turned into an art form, and, it's always been my experience that art is really there for pretentious people to stand around and talk about how smart they are and how only they can really understand the meaning of the art, and, sadly, that's what film has become! Now, movies, they're just there to entertain us, they're there for no other reason than to distract us from the daily grind for an hour and a half! That's the basic difference between films and movies! But, for those of you who are still a little confused, here's a quick list that will help you spot the differences.

Woody Allen has never, in his life, made a movie!
Spike Lee has never made a movie!
Those two guys work strictly in film.

Paul Verhoven has never made a film, he's strictly a movie guy!
Stuart Gordon never made a film, and George Romero never made a film in his life!
And if you don't know who those three men are...then I pity you, my friend!

That should get you started on the right path, don't stray too far into the dark side or you might find yourself rambling on about the cinematography of a film or how well lit everything is, you know, things that people say when they're desperately trying to sound smart. Instead, let all that crap go, and just sit back and enjoy the movie! After all, that's what they're there for!
