A film is any motion picture that is recorded on FILM

It can't be digital or HD tape, it has to be on FILM

SO, to any pretentious douchebag out there who thinks that they are soooo smart that they MUST use the word film- know that no matter how many times you refer to movies made after 2000, they are more than likely to not be films.

Juno, There Will be Blood, No Country for Old Men, and any other artsy type of movies to come out recently are NOT FILMS, no matter how dramatic or independently made that they are.
Harvey, Pyscho, Babe (I think), hell any other classic motion picture out there is probably a film

The outdated, but still used, equipment that the best photographers use to take pictures. Comes in a variety of sizes, from the small 110 film (in a cartridge that looks like a telephone receiver) to the large format 4x5 film sheets. This film produces negatives that are used in enlargers and scanners to create a print.
I bought some 35mm film to take pictures of the circus when they were in town.
