Please no. Just keep it simple. Either (movie) or
(film) works. My personal preference is for (movie)
because it is less ambiguous than (film) ("film" has
more than one meaning while "movie" only has one). But
this isn't a strong preference. The /main/ reason why
I think (movie) is better is because this is the term
used for the majority ambiguous movie names already.

If somebody goes to the great deal of effort on moving
these articles to the (film) format then I'll support
that as the standard.

But (film/movie) is madness - newbies will create all
sorts of variants based on this disambiguator.
