True

I use both. For movie, it's interchangable with Film, but Film is not interchangable with movie. For me, any B-grade, mass marketed, "buy me", teen movie is not a film; gotta have some form of quality to it.

Film can possibly be a movie and a movie is always a film. It's a technical definition, not an artistic one.

If you want to get more technical, it's a film unless it remains on 100% digital format.

True.

I think the use of usage is much worse. People tend to use it to sound fancy schmancy.
