Okay, so there's a naming convention on this at http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(movies)
Why is it so? Why is the principle that American and British English have equal status abandoned here? Why is the ugly "movie" explicitly preferred over the perfectly good "film"?
No idea. I think someone (an American?) must have started using the word "movie". Personally, I'd rather have an "ugly" word than one that might lead to confusion.
