Well, Unknown Soldier, when I was growing up in south London, we only used the word "film" - I suspect that "movie" is some more modern American import.
To mention the activity of going to see a film, the options we used were,
see a film, go to the pictures, or
go to the flics. Why not use these expressions, and make a stand for our proud heritage ? - or better yet, use
cinematograph :-
