I was reading about the silent film era and thinking about how silly the word "talkie" is, and was then forced to really consider, for the first time, the word "movie"
@silverwizard "film" over "movie" seems to be the preferred term in British English over here in the UK at least. Just seems to be the way our variant of English has evolved.
@silverwizard Yeah it doesn't really matter ultimately, everyone knows what your talking about. "film" I suppose is also technically an obsolete term because of the decline of using 35mm and such over the past 10 years or so.

Talkie and Movie are at least still descriptive!
