A person who loves movies and has an extensive knowledge of them. For them, a movie is more than just a recreation; it's an escape from reality, a time for all problems to slip away for two hours (depending on how long the movie is, as some extend to 3+ hours).
Aside from knowing various movies, a cinephile can also recognize an actors voice even if they change it; like in animation or if the actor/actress uses an accent(real or fake). They can also quote and, or act out entire scenes from movies, almost to the tee.

you're a true cinephile, if you watch a lot of movies in a short period of time and then just stop for a few weeks (because you're busy). this cycle goes on forever.
"How many movies did you watch this month?"
"20"
"Wow. How about last month?"
"-3"
"You're a true cinephile"
