Comment Wasn't there recently a change for Disaster movie category to Category:Disaster films? I'm an American, and I admit I'm uncomfortable with the word film, but then we shouldn't mess with English/American differences. Xiner (talk, email) 03:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

message: # Oppose - "Film" is Commonwealth English, "Movie" is American English. Simple as that. There is no need to change this. WP policy says that no one variety of English is better than the other, and "Film" is used in this page originally. Therefore it should stay. EuroSong talk 19:08, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This needs support by referencing - perhaps they will show whether "disaster film" or "disaster movie" is correct. (I'm English, but I think of them as "disaster movies"). -- Beardo 19:22, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
