    If thats all the effort you're going to put into it, then no.

    So by that reasoning, if it doesn't make you cry, then it's a bad film?

    Speaking as a fan of Batman comics, the Batman and Robin film made me cry... and that certainly isn't a good film.

    Movie redirects to Film on Wikipedia. What's the difference again? I forget.

    According to Dictionary.com Movie and Film are synonyms, so the answer to the question above is, there is no difference.

    What? Why? ???

    All a film-maker can aspire to is to create maximum tear-jerkation? I must disagree! There's so much more to it than that!

    Good films can cause other jerkation apart from tear.

    Interesting Response ...!
    this was a question in an exam for a friend of mine, apart from the (not movie) part which i threw in, (yes im a stone fan!)


    The reason I threw in the not movie part is that I see 'movies' as more an entertainment side of things, with 'film' being the more serious side of things, more realism etc

    Personally i would agree with the statement to a degree in that a good film should get your emotions running, not necessarily crying now, but certainly emotional. If the director has pulled off his film, you should have a certain empathy with the character and feel their emotions whether that be anger, sadness or whatever.

    The thread title wasnt meant to be a statement of fact as I dont think it was for the exam, just something to debate....
