It matters to me. I usually refer to trash as movies, and those I hold in higher regard as films. I see 'movies' as an American term, which I associate with junk food and blockbusters. I see the term 'film' as having class, so European cinema, auteurs, independent cinema, etc.

movies for american rednecks, film for british snobs, motion pictures for the real elite aka me

What about flicks?

that's for people with mental disabilities e.g. Dallas Cowboy fans

god damn you
