The basic answer is – movie and film are both countable nouns in English language (British or American English). The plural is formed according to the grammar rules.
Plural of nouns in English
The pluralization of nouns in English generally follows fairly simple rules. The plural is formed from the singular by adding the ending -s or -es. However, there are exception words, the so-called irregular forms, which have to be memorized. There are also a number of nouns that do not have a singular number. All these rules are discussed in detail in this article.
Fortunately, movies and films follow a standard general rule:
| Transcription | Plural | Plural Transcription |
Movie | /ˈmuːvi/ | movies | /'mu:vɪz/ |
Film | /fɪlm/ | films | /'fɪlmz/ |
Examples:
I have seen so many films this month.
I didn’t watch any movies last week.
